وَلَا يَلِدُوٓا۟ أَي مَا يُنْتِجُونَ وَلَا يُظْهِرُونَ إِلَّا فَاجِرًا أَي مظهراً مَا سَتَرَ كَفَّارًا أَي ساتراً مَا ظَهَرَ بَعْدَ ظُهُورِهِ فَيُظْهِرُونَ مَا سُتِرَ ثُمَّ يَسْتُرُونَهُ بَعْدَ ظُهُورِهِ فَيَحَارُ النَّاظِرُ وَلَا يَعْرِفُ قَصْدَ الفَاجِرِ فِي فُجُورِهِ وَلَا الكَافِرِ فِي كُفْرِهِ وَالشَّخْصُ وَاحِدٌ رَّبِّ ٱغْفِرْ لِى أَيِ ٱسْتُرْنِي وَٱسْتُرْ مِنْ أَجْلِي فَيُجْهَلُ قَدَرِي وَمَقَامِي كَمَا جُهِلَ قَدْرُكَ فِي قَوْلِكَ وَمَا قَدَرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِۦٓ وَلِوَٰلِدَىَّ مَنْ كُنتُ نَتِيجَةً عَنْهُمَا وَهُمَا العَقْلُ وَالطَّبِيعَةُ وَلِمَن دَخَلَ بَيْتِىَ أَي قَلْبِي مُؤْمِنًا مُصَدِّقًا بِمَا يَكُونُ فِيهِ مِنَ الإِخْبَارَاتِ الإِلَهِيَّةِ وَهُوَ مَا حَدَّثَتْ بِهِ أَنْفُسَهَا
«And they will not beget» [Q 71:27], that is, they will not produce and will not make manifest, «any but a libertine (fājir)» [Q 71:27], that is, one who makes manifest what was veiled, «[and] ingrate (kaffār)» [Q 71:27], that is, one who veils what became manifest after its manifestation. So they make manifest what was veiled, then veil it after its manifestation; and so the beholder is bewildered and does not know the intent of the libertine in his libertinage, nor of the one who veils in his veiling (kufr), while the person is one. «My Lord, forgive me» [Q 71:28], that is, veil me, and veil [others] for my sake, so that my measure and my station remain unknown, just as Your measure is unknown in Your saying: «They did not measure God with His true measure» [Q 6:91]. «And my two parents» [Q 71:28]: those of whom I was a result, and they are intellect and nature. «And whoever enters my house» [Q 71:28], that is, my heart, «as a believer» [Q 71:28]: one who assents to what comes to be within it of the divine reports, and that is what [their] souls have spoken of to themselves.

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.
