فَتارَةً يُعْطِي اللهُ العَبْدَ على يدي الرَّحْمَنِ فيَخْلُصُ العَطاءُ مِنَ الشَّوْبِ الذي لا يُلائِمُ الطَّبْعَ في الوَقْتِ أوْ لا يُنِيلُ الغَرَضَ وما أَشْبَهَ ذلكَ وتارَةً يُعْطِي اللهُ على يدي الواسِعِ فيَعُمُّ أوْ على يدي الحَكِيمِ فيَنْظُرُ في الأَصْلَحِ في الوَقْتِ أوْ على يَدِ الوَهَّابِ فيُعْطِي لِيُنْعِمَ لا يَكونُ معَ الواهِبِ تَكْلِيفُ المُعْطِي لهُ بِعِوَضٍ على ذلكَ مِنْ شُكْرٍ أوْ عَمَلٍ أوْ على يَدِ الجَبَّارِ فيَنْظُرُ في المَوْطِنِ وما يَسْتَحِقُّهُ أوْ على يَدِ الغَفَّارِ فيَنْظُرُ المَحَلَّ وما هوَ عَلَيْهِ

So at times God gives to the servant at the hands of the All-Merciful, and the gift is then pure of any admixture that does not suit the natural constitution at the time, or that does not attain the aim, and whatever resembles that. At other times God gives at the hands of the All-Embracing, and [the gift] is then all-inclusive; or at the hands of the Wise, and He then looks to what is most fitting at the time; or at the hands of the Bestower, and He then gives in order to bestow blessing, there being, with the Bestower, no imposition upon the one given to of [a demand for] compensation in return for it, whether thanks or work; or at the hands of the Compeller, and He then looks to the setting and what it deserves; or at the hands of the All-Forgiving, and He then looks to the locus and the state it is in.

al-Qayṣarī

﴿فتارة يعطى الله العبد على يدي الرحمن، فيخلص العطاء من الشوب الذي لا يلائم الطبع في الوقت﴾

أي، في الحال وإن كان غير خالص في المآل. فإن أمثال هذه العطايا الموافقة للطبع غالبا مما يتضمن النقمة، فتدخل تحت حكم )المنتقم( في الدنيا أو في الآخرة

that is, in the immediate state, even though it may not be pure in the ultimate outcome. For the like of these gifts that generally accord with nature often involve vengeful retribution, and so fall under the governance of (the Avenger, al-Muntaqim) in this world or the next.

Ibn Turka

﴿فتارة يعطي الله العبد على يدي الرحمن﴾

وهو الوجود المحض

which is pure existence

Quotes words that differ from our text (wavy underline).

أي وقت العطاء ولو غير خالص في المال فهذا هو عطاء ممتزج ورحمة ممتزجة وعطاء إلهي حاصل مع الله تعالى على يد الرحمن . لكن لا يسمى رحمانية بل يسمى مثل هذا القسم إلهية وفيه إشارة إلى أن يد الرحمن لها مدخل في جميع العطايا التي تحصل على أيادي الأسماء فرحمة الله واسعة على كل شيء

disposition at the time] i.e., at the time of the gift, even if it is not pure with respect to wealth; this then is a mixed gift and a mixed mercy, and a divine gift occurring with God Most High by the hand of al-Raḥmān. But such a kind is not called Raḥmānī; rather it is called Ilāhī (divine). And herein is an indication that the hand of al-Raḥmān has a role in all the gifts that occur by the hands of the Names, for God's mercy encompasses everything

﴿فتارة يعطي الله العبد على يد الواسع فيعم﴾

this gift encompasses all the states and times of the servant, and by that gift the servant attains his purpose at every time he wishes

وما أَشْبَهَ ذلكَ

al-Qayṣarī

﴿وما أشبه ذلك﴾

من موجبات الكدورة في الوقت أو من الموانع لحصول الغرض. وهذا العطاء الإلهي على يدي "الرحمن" غير العطاء الرحماني الذي ذكر أنه رحمة محضة لتضمنه النقمة في المال

among the causes of turbidity in the moment or among the impediments to attaining the purpose. This divine gift by the hand of "the Merciful" is other than the merciful gift (al-ʿaṭāʾ al-raḥmānī) previously mentioned as being pure mercy, since this one entails vengeful retribution in the outcome.

Ibn Turka

﴿وما أشبه ذلك﴾

من الأوصاف العدميّة المنافية للرحمة الوجوديّة ، وهذا هو العطاء الرحماني . وأمّا ما يقابله يعني العطاء الإلهي فله أقسام أشار إليها بقوله

from the privative attributes which are incompatible with existential mercy - this is the raḥmānī giving. As for what corresponds to it, namely the divine giving (al-ʿaṭāʾ al-ilāhī), it has divisions to which he alluded in his saying

Jāmī

﴿وما أشبه ذلك﴾

أي ويخلص أيضا مما أشبه الشوب بالغير الملائم والغير المنيل من موجبات الكدورة، فالعطاء الرحماني ينبغي أن يكون خالصا من موجبات الكدورة الحالية والمآلية كلها. فهذا عين العطاء الرحماني الذي ذكر أولا وإنما أعاده استیفاء للأقسام في سلك واحد

i.e., it is also purified of what resembles the admixture — of what is disagreeable and does not attain [the purpose] — among the causes of turbidity (al-kudūra). The Raḥmānī gift ought to be pure of all causes of turbidity, both present and prospective. This is precisely the Raḥmānī gift mentioned first; he only repeats it here to round out the enumeration of the categories within a single sequence.

Bālī Zāde

﴿وما أشبه﴾

ذلك الشوب في عدم ملائمة الطبع أو عدم نیل الغرض

i.e., of that admixture, in respect of either its unsuitability to disposition or its failure to attain the purpose

al-Qayṣarī

﴿وتارة يعطى الله على يدي الواسع فيعم﴾

أي، يشمل الخلائق عموما كالصحة والرزق

that is, it comprehends creatures universally, such as health and provision.

Ibn Turka

﴿وتارة يعطي الله على يدي الواسع﴾

بإظهار لفظة « الله » تنبيها على أنّه هو الذي في مقابلة العطاء الرحماني ، ( فيعمّ ) الملائم وغيره . هذان القسمان لهما الشمول والإحاطة للمخلوقات ، وأمّا ما يختصّ منها بالبعض ، فلا يخلو من أن يكون المخصّص لها حال العبد ، أو الحق والأول إمّا أن يكون الحال التي هو عليها ، أو الحال التي يستحقها ، فهذه الأقسام هي السبعة التي هي صورة الكمال الأسمائي للحق على ما ستطلع عليه في طيّ الكتاب إن شاء الله تعالى . ولذلك بنى أمر تفصيل الأسماء التي هي طرف السعة الحق على السبعة ، لأنّها صورة الكمال مشيرا إلى تلك الأقسام بقوله

- by making manifest the word "Allāh," alerting that this is what corresponds to the raḥmānī giving - (so it is general), encompassing both the suitable and other than it. These two divisions have universality and comprehensiveness for creatures. As for what is specific to some of them, it cannot but be that the specifier is either the state of the servant, or the Real; the first is either the state he is actually in, or the state he deserves. These divisions are the seven which are the form of the Names-based perfection of the Real, as you will discover within the book, God willing. That is why he built the detailed matter of the Names, which is the extreme of the Real's vastness, upon the seven, since they are the form of perfection, alluding to those divisions in his saying

Jāmī

﴿وتارة يعطى … الله على يدي الواسع فيعم﴾

أي الملائم وغير الملائم والخلائق كلهم، أو ظاهر المعطى له وباطنه روحه وطبيعته وغير ذلك. (أو) يعطى

i.e., [encompassing] both the agreeable and the disagreeable, and all creatures; or the outward and the inward of the recipient — his spirit and his nature, and so on. "Or" it is given

al-Qayṣarī

﴿أو على يدي الحكيم، فينظر في الأصلح في الوقت﴾

إذ الحكيم لا يعمل إلا بمقتضى الحكمة، ولا ينظر إلا على المصلحة في الوقت، فيعطى ما يناسب الشخص والوقت

since the Wise acts only in accordance with wisdom, and considers only the benefit proper to the moment, giving what suits the person and the moment.

Ibn Turka

﴿أو على يدي الحكيم فينظر في الأصلح في الوقت﴾

أي بالنسبة إلى العبد . ( أو على يدي الواهب ، فيعطي لينعم ، ولا يكون مع الواهب تكليف المعطى له بعوض على ذلك من شكر أو عمل ) فيكون المخصّص لهذا القسم ما للحق من الجود

— that is, in relation to the servant — (or at the hands of the Giver (al-Wāhib), who gives in order to bestow grace, and with the Giver there is no obligation placed upon the one given to, in return for that, of gratitude or deed). Thus what specifies this category is what belongs to the Real of generosity (jūd).

Jāmī

﴿على يدي الحكيم فينظر في الأصلح في الوقت﴾

فإن الحكيم يقتضي ذلك. (أو) يعطى (على يدي الواهب فيعطى لينعم) من الإنعام، أي ليظهر إنعامه في وجوده. ويجوز أن يكون مفتوح العين من النعومة وهي طيب العيش، أي لينعم المعطى له ويعيش طيبة

for the All-Wise entails that. "Or" it is given "at the hands of the All-Giving, whereby He gives in order to bestow favor (li-yunʿima)" — from inʿām (favoring), i.e., in order to manifest His favor in [the recipient's] existence. It is also possible that it be read with fatḥa on the ʿayn, from naʿūma (ease of life), meaning: in order that the recipient enjoy comfort and live a goodly life

Bālī Zāde

﴿أو على يد الحكيم فينظر في الأصلح في الوقت﴾

فيعطي ما هو الأصلح للعبد في ذلك الوقت

so he gives what is most fitting for the servant at that time

al-Qayṣarī

﴿أو على يدي الوهاب، فيعطى لينعم. ولا يكون مع الواهب تكليف المعطى له بعوض على ذلك من شكر أو عمل﴾

Quotes words that differ from our text (wavy underline).

أي، يعطى الواهب إظهارا لإنعامه وجوده بلا طلب عوض من الموهوب له من شكر أو عمل أو حمد وثناء. ووجوب شكر المنعم لأجل عبوديته لا لإنعام المنعم، فإنه من شكر للإنعام يكون عبد المنعم لا عبد الحق من حيث هو هو. ويجوز أن يكون قوله: "لينعم" مفتوح الياء: فيعطى لينعم المعطى له ليعيش طيبا

that is, the Bestower gives as a manifestation of His favor and generosity, without seeking any recompense from the one favored, whether thanks, deed, or praise and glorification. And the obligation to thank the Benefactor is on account of one's servanthood, not for the sake of the Benefactor's favor; for whoever gives thanks [merely] for the favor becomes the servant of the Benefactor, not the servant of the Real as such (min ḥaythu huwa huwa). It is also possible that his saying "li-yunʿim" is vocalized with the fatḥa on the yāʾ [i.e., li-yanʿama]: so He gives that the one given to might himself live a good life.

Bālī Zāde

﴿أو على يد الواهب فيعطي لبنعم﴾

Quotes words that differ from our text (wavy underline).

من أنعم أي إظهار الأنعام و كرمه

that is, out of the bestowal of blessings and out of His generosity

Jāmī

﴿ولا يكون مع الواهب تكليف المعطى له بعوض على ذلك … من شكر … أو عمل﴾

Quotes words that differ from our text (wavy underline).

بالجنان والأركان، ووجوب شكر المنعم إنما هو لأجل عبودية المعطى له لا لتكليف الواهب . (أو) يعطى (على يدي الجبار) الذي يجبر الكسر

by heart and by limbs. The obligation of gratitude toward the Benefactor is only due to the servanthood (ʿubūdiyya) of the recipient, not to any imposition by the Giver. "Or" it is given "at the hands of the Overwhelming (al-Jabbār)," who mends the break

Bālī Zāde

﴿ولا يكون مع الواهب تكليف المعطى له بعوض على ذلك … من شكر أو عمل أو على يد الجبار فينظر في المواطن وما يستحقه﴾

Quotes words that differ from our text (wavy underline).

من القهر . والجبار ههنا بمعنى القهار بمقابلة قوله

of subjugation. Here al-Jabbār is in the sense of al-Qahhār (the All-Subduing), in contrast to what follows

al-Qāshānī

﴿أو على يدي الجبار فينظر في الموطن وما يستحقه﴾

Quotes words that differ from our text (wavy underline).

معناه أن الجبار هو الذي يجبر الكسر ويزيل الآفة والنقص . فينظر في جهة استحقاقه وفاقته فينجح حاجته ويجبر كسره ويصلح آفته ونقصه . ولهذا قال :" لا تزال جهنم تقول: " هَلْ من مَزِيدٍ " حتى يضع الجبار فيها قدمه فتقول قطنى قطنى " فإن جهنم تطلب ما يصلح آفتها ويدفع فقرها ويسد فاقتها ، ووضع القدم فيها عبارة عن وصول جبره إليها فيصلح حالها . قوله

— meaning that al-Jabbār is the one who mends the fracture and removes the affliction and deficiency. So he considers the aspect of its [i.e., the recipient's] deservingness and need, and thereby fulfills its need, mends its fracture, and rectifies its affliction and deficiency. This is why it is said: "Hell continues to say, 'Is there more?' until al-Jabbār places His foot in it, whereupon it says, 'Enough, enough (qaṭnī qaṭnī).'" For Hell seeks that which would rectify its affliction, remove its poverty, and fill its need; and the placing of the foot in it is an expression for the arrival of His mending [power] to it, whereby its condition is rectified. His saying,

al-Qayṣarī

﴿أو على يدي الجبار، فينظر في الموطن وما يستحقه﴾

Quotes words that differ from our text (wavy underline).

أي، ينظر على الشخص ويجبر انكساره بحسب استحقاقه. أو يقهر إذا كان متجبرا على عباد الله ومتكبرا عليهم، إذ "الجبار" يستعمل في المعنيين. (أو على يدي الغفار، فينظر في المحل وما هو عليه، فإن كان على حال يستحق العقوبة، فيستره عنها، أو على حال لا يستحق العقوبة، فيستره عن حال يستحق العقوبة، فيسمى معصوما ومعتنى به ومحفوظا) معناه ظاهر. و "الستر" إما أن يكون بمحوها وإثبات ما يقابلها، كما قال تعالى: "أولئك يبدل الله سيئاتهم حسنات ". أو بإعطاء نور يستر تلك الحالة لئلا يطلع عليها ما سوى الحق، أو بالعفو عنها بعد إطلاعهم عليها، أو يحفظه عما يشينه ويستحق به العقوبة، فيبقى محفوظا معتنى به

that is, He considers the person and mends his brokenness according to his desert; or He subdues [him] if he has been domineering (mutajabbir) toward God's servants and arrogant (mutakabbir) toward them, since "al-Jabbār" is used in both senses. (Or by the hand of the All-Forgiving (al-Ghaffār), so that He considers the locus and its condition: if it is in a state deserving punishment, He conceals it from that; or if it is in a state not deserving punishment, He conceals it from a state that would deserve punishment—so [the person] is called preserved (maʿṣūm), cared for, and safeguarded) — its meaning is evident. "Concealment" (al-satr) may occur either by effacing [the state] and establishing its counterpart in its place, as He, Most High, said: "those—God will exchange their evil deeds for good ones"; or by bestowing a light that veils that state so that none but the Real perceives it; or by pardoning it after they have been made aware of it; or by preserving him from whatever would disgrace him and merit him punishment, so that he remains safeguarded and cared for.

Ibn Turka

﴿أو على يد الجبّار ، فينظر في الموطن وما يستحقّه … أو على يد الغفّار ، فينظر المحلّ وما هو عليه ، فإن كان على حال يستحقّ العقوبة فيستره عنها ، أو على حال لا يستحقّ العقوبة فيستره عن حال يستحقّ العقوبة ، فيسمّى معصوما﴾

— that situation — of the gifts by which its break is mended and its affliction is remedied. It has been said: the Overwhelming (al-Jabbār) is He who restores things, after alteration, to their praiseworthy state, by a kind of subjugation, overpowering, and effective influence. "Or" it is given "at the hands of the All-Forgiving, whereby He considers the locus" of the recipient

al-Qāshānī

﴿أو على يدي الغفار فينظر المحل وما هو عليه﴾

معناه أن الغفار هو الذي يستر بنور الذات ما في المحل من الظلمة الموجبة للعقوبة ، وكل اسم من أسمائه يقتضي مظهرا أو محلا يناسبه ليظهر خصوصيته فيه

— meaning that al-Ghaffār is the one who covers, with the light of the Essence, whatever darkness necessitating punishment is in the locus; and every one of His names requires a locus of manifestation or a receptacle suited to it, in which its particular property may appear.

Arabic of the commentaries from the OpenITI digital texts (each comment links to its line); Bosnevî's Ottoman Turkish from our collation of two OCRs of the 1873 Istanbul print (each comment links to its page scan at HathiTrust); passages matched to the commentators' quotations automatically.English translations of the commentaries and of the passage are AI (Claude) and marked. Differences are computed by comparing the words each commentator quotes with our working text; they may reflect a different manuscript reading, a paraphrase, or an alignment error. About this text.
