The commentators side by side
فَصُّ حِكْمَةٍ نَفْثِيَّةٍ فِي كَلِمَةٍ شِيثِيَّةٍ

فإذا وافَقَ السُّؤالُ الوَقْتَ أَسْرَعَ بالإِجابَةِ وإذا تَأَخَّرَ الوَقْتُ إمَّا في الدُّنْيا وإمَّا إلى الآخِرَةِ تَأَخَّرَتِ الإِجابَةُ أيِ المَسْئُولُ فيهِ لا الإِجابَةُ التي هيَ لَبَّيْكَ مِنَ اللهِ فافْهَمْ هذا وأمَّا القِسْمُ الثَّانِي وهوَ قَوْلُنا ومِنْها ما لا يَكونُ عن السُّؤَالِ فالذي لا يَكونُ عن سُؤالٍ فإنَّما أُرِيدَ بالسُّؤالِ التَّلَفُّظُ بهِ فإنَّهُ في نَفْسِ الأَمْرِ لا بُدَّ مِنْ سُؤالٍ إمَّا باللَّفْظِ أوْ بالحالِ أوْ بالاسْتِعْدادِ كما أنَّهُ لا يَصِحُّ حَمْدٌ مُطْلَقٌ قَطُّ إلَّا في اللَّفْظِ وأمَّا في المَعْنَى فلا بُدَّ أنْ يُقَيِّدَهُ الحالُ
So when the asking coincides with the [appointed] time, [God] hastens the response; and when the time is delayed, whether in this world or until the hereafter, the response is delayed: that is, the thing asked for [is delayed], not the response which is 'Here I am!' (labbayka) from God. So understand this. As for the second division, namely our statement, 'And among them is what does not come about through asking': that which does not come about through asking, what is meant by 'asking' [there] is only its being uttered in words; for in actual fact there must be asking, whether by word, by state, or by preparedness. Just as absolute praise is never valid except in the wording, whereas in the meaning the state must inevitably delimit it.

al-Qāshānī
﴿وأما القسم الثاني : وهو قولنا ومنها ما لا يكون عن سؤال ، فالذي لا يكون عن سؤال فإنما أريد بالسؤال التلفظ به فإنه في نفس الأمر لا بد من سؤال إما باللفظ أو بالحال أو بالاستعداد ، كما أنه لا يصح حمد مطلق قط إلا في اللفظ وأما في المعنى فلا بد أن يقيده الحال فالذي يبعثك على حمد الله هو المقيد لك باسم فعل أو باسم تنزيه ، والاستعداد من العبد لا يشعر به صاحبه ويشعر بالحال لأنه يعلم الباعث وهو الحال ، فالاستعداد أخفى سؤال﴾

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.
