The commentators side by side
فَصُّ حِكْمَةٍ نَفْثِيَّةٍ فِي كَلِمَةٍ شِيثِيَّةٍ
¶ 23 · 86 words · shading: how many commentators stop on each word
وعلى الحَقِيقَةِ فَما ثَمَّ إِلَّا حَقِيقَةٌ واحِدَةٌ تَقْبَلُ جَميعَ هذِهِ النِّسَبِ والإِضافاتِ التي يُكَنَّى عنها بِالأَسْماءِ الإِلَهِيَّةِ والحَقِيقَةُ تُعْطِي أنْ يَكونَ لِكُلِّ اسْمٍ يَظْهَرُ إِلى ما لا يَتَناهَى حَقِيقَةً يَتَمَيَّزُ بِها عنِ اسْمٍ آخَرَ تِلْكَ الحَقِيقَةُ التي بِها يَتَمَيَّزُ هيَ الاسْمُ عَيْنُهُ لا ما يَقَعُ فيهِ الاشْتِراكُ كما أنَّ الأَعْطِيَاتِ تَتَمَيَّزُ كُلُّ أَعْطِيَةٍ عنْ غَيْرِها بِشَخْصِيَّتِها وإنْ كانَتْ مِنْ أَصْلٍ واحِدٍ فَمَعْلُومٌ أنَّ هذِهِ ما هيَ هذِهِ الأُخْرَى وسَبَبُ ذلكَ تَمَيُّزُ الأَسْماءِ فَما في الحَضْرَةِ الإِلَهِيَّةِ لِاتِّساعِها شَيْءٌ يَتَكَرَّرُ أَصْلًا هذا هوَ الحَقُّ الذي يُعَوَّلُ عَلَيْهِ
But in reality there is only one reality, which receives all these relations and attributions that are alluded to by 'the divine names'. And that reality demands that every name that becomes manifest, without end, have a reality by which it is distinguished from every other name. That reality by which it is distinguished is the name itself, not that in which [the names] share. Just as the gifts are distinguished, each gift from every other, by its own individuality, even if they come from a single root, so it is known that this one is not that other one. And the cause of that is the distinction of the names. So in the divine presence, because of its vastness, there is nothing whatsoever that repeats. This is the truth to be relied upon.

al-Tilimsānī
﴿فما في الحضرة الإلهية لاتساعها شيء يتكرر أصلا. هذا هو الحق الذي يعول عليه. وهذا العلم كان علم شيث، عليه السلام، وروحه هو الممدود لكل من يتكلم في مثل هذا من الأرواح ما عدا روح الخاتم فإنه لا يأتيه المادة إلا من الله لا من روح من الأرواح، بل من روحه تكون تلك المادة لجميع الأرواح، وإن كان لا يعقل ذلك من نفسه في زمان ترکیب جسده العنصري. فهو من حيث حقيقته ورتبته عالم بذلك كله بعينه، من حيث ما هو جاهل به من جهة تركيبه العنصري.﴾

The ibnalarabi.com texts sometimes print other hands inside a commentary: Bālī Zāde's glosses inside al-Qāshānī («إضافة بالي زادة»), and notes by the modern editor (al-muḥaqqiq) or compiler (al-jāmiʿ). We cut these out of the commentator's own text and show them as separate entries, each labelled with its author and the line of the file it came from.
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.
