وَإِذَا دُفِنْتَ فِيهَا فَأَنْتَ فِيهَا وَهِيَ ظَرْفُكَ وَفِيهَا نُعِيدُكُمْ وَمِنْهَا نُخْرِجُكُمْ تَارَةً أُخْرَىٰ لِاخْتِلَافِ الوُجُوهِ مِنَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ الَّذِينَ اسْتَغْشَوْا ثِيَابَهُمْ وَجَعَلُوا أَصَابِعَهُمْ فِي آذَانِهِمْ طَلَبًا لِلْسَّتْرِ لِأَنَّهُ دَعَاهُمْ لِيَغْفِرَ لَهَمْ والغفر السَّتْرُ دَيَّارًا أَحَدًا حَتَّى تَعُمَّ المَنْفَعَةُ كَمَا عَمَّتِ الدَّعْوَةُ إِنَّكَ إِن تَذَرْهُمْ أَي تَدَعُهُمْ وَتَتْرُكُهُمْ يُضِلُّوا۟ عِبَادَكَ أَي يُحَيِّرُوهُمْ فيخرجوهم مِنَ العبودية إِلَى مَا فِيهِمْ مِنْ أَسْرَارِ الرُّبُوبِيَّةِ فَيَنْظُرُونَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ أَرْبَابًا بَعْدَ مَا كَانُوا عِندَ نُفُوسِهِمْ عَبِيدًا فَهُمْ العَبِيدُ الأَرْبَابُ
And when you are buried in it [the earth], you are in it and it is your container: "In it We shall return you, and from it We shall bring you forth another time" [Q 20:55], because of the diversity of the aspects. "Of the unbelievers" [Q 71:26]: those who "wrapped themselves in their garments and put their fingers in their ears" [cf. Q 71:7], seeking covering, because he "summoned them so that He might forgive them" [cf. Q 71:7], and forgiving (ghafr) is covering (satr). "A single dweller" [Q 71:26]: anyone at all, so that the benefit might be universal just as the summons was universal. "Surely if You leave them" [Q 71:27], that is, if You let them be and abandon them, "they will lead Your servants astray" [Q 71:27], that is, they will bewilder them and bring them out of servanthood to what is within them of the mysteries of lordship. Then they will regard themselves as lords, after having been, in their own estimation, servants; so they are the servants who are lords.

Jāmī
﴿«ديارا» أحدا حتى تعم المنفعة كما عمت الدعوة. «إنك إن تذرهم» أي تدعهم وتتركهم «يضلوا عبادك» أي يحيروهم فيخرجوهم من العبودية إلى ما فيهم من أسرار الربوبية فينظرون أنفسهم أربابا بعد ما كانوا عند أنفسهم عبيدا، فهم العبيد الأرباب. «و لا يلدوا» أي ما ينتجون و لا يظهرون «إلا فاجرا» أي مظهرا ما ستر، «كفارا» أي ساترا ما ظهر بعد ظهوره. فيظهرون ما ستر، ثم يسترونه بعد ظهوره، فيحار الناظر و لا يعرف قصد الفاجر﴾

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.
