The commentators side by side
فَصُّ حِكْمَةٍ قُدُّوسِيَّةٍ فِي كَلِمَةٍ إِدْرِيسِيَّةٍ
¶ 10 · 66 words · shading: how many commentators stop on each word
فَمِنْهُ الصَّاحِبَةُ وَالْوَلَدُ وَالأَمْرُ وَاحِدٌ فِي العَدَدِ فَمِنَ الطَّبِيعَةُ وَمِنَ الظَّاهِرِ مِنْهَا وَمَا رَأَيْنَاهَا نَقَصَتْ بِمَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَلَا زَادَتْ بِعَدَمِ مَا ظَهَرَ وَمَا الَّذِي ظَهَرَ غَيْرُهَا وَمَا هِيَ عَيْنُ مَا ظَهَرَ لِاخْتِلَافِ الصُّوَرِ بِالحُكْمِ عَلَيْهَا فَهَذَا بَارِدٌ يَابِسٌ وَهَذَا حَارٌّ يَابِسٌ فَجَمَعَ بِاليَبِسِ وَأَبَانَ بِغَيْرِ ذَلكَ وَالْجَامِعُ الطَّبِيعَةُ لَا بَلْ العَيْنُ الطَّبِيعَةُ فَعَالِمُ الطَّبِيعَةِ صُورٌ فِي مَرْآةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ لَا بَلْ صُورَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ فِي مَرَاءٍ مُخْتَلِفَةٍ
So from Him are the consort and the child, while the matter is one in number. So who is Nature, and who is that which is manifest from her, given that we have not seen her diminished by what became manifest from her, nor increased by the nonexistence of what had become manifest? And that which became manifest is not other than her. Yet she is not the very self of what became manifest, because the forms differ in the property [ḥukm] ascribed to them: this one is cold and dry, and that one is hot and dry. So [Nature] joined [them] through dryness and set [them] apart through what is other than that. And that which joins [them] is Nature. No, rather, the very entity [ʿayn] is Nature. So the world of Nature is forms in a single mirror. No, rather, [it is] a single form in diverse mirrors.

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.
