فَمَا ثَمَّ إِلَّا حَيْرَةٌ لِتَفَرُّقِ النَّظَرِ وَمَنْ عَرَفَ مَا قُلْنَاهُ لَمْ يَحَرّ وَإِنْ كَانَ فِي مَزِيدِ عِلْمٍ فَلَيْسَ إِلَّا مِنْ حُكْمِ المَحَلِّ وَالمَحَلُّ عَيْنُ العَيْنِ الثَّابِتَةِ فِيهَا يَتَنَوَّعُ الحَقُّ فِي المَجْلَى فَتَتَنَوَّعُ الأَحْكَامُ عَلَيْهِ فَيَقْبَلُ كُلَّ حُكْمٍ وَمَا يَحْكُمُ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا عَيْنُ مَا تَجَلَّى فِيهِ مَا ثَمَّ إِلَّا هَذَا فَالحَقُّ خَلْقٌ بِهَذَا الوَجْهِ فَاعْتَبِرُوا وَلَيْسَ خَلْقًا بِذَاكَ الوَجْهِ فَادَّكِرُوا مَنْ يَدْرِ مَا قُلْتُ لَمْ تُخْذَلْ بَصِيرَتُهُ وَلَيْسَ يَدْرِيهِ إِلَّا مَنْ لَهُ بَصَرٌ جَمِّعْ وَفَرِّقْ فَإِنَّ العَيْنَ وَاحِدَةٌ وَهِيَ الكَثِيرَةُ لَا تَبْقِي وَلَا تَذَرُ
So there is nothing there but bewilderment, because [rational] consideration is dispersed. But whoever knows what we have said is not bewildered. And if he is in [a state of] increase of knowledge, that is only from the property of the locus, and the locus is the very self of the fixed entity. In it the Real takes on diverse forms in the place of disclosure, so the properties [ascribed] to Him become diverse, and He accepts every property. Nothing passes judgement upon Him except the very self of that in which He discloses Himself. There is nothing there but this. So the Real is creation in this respect, so take heed! And He is not creation in that respect, so remember! Whoever discerns what I have said, his inner sight will not be forsaken; yet none discerns it but one who has sight. Gather and separate, for the Entity is one, and it is the many, which 'leaves nothing and spares nothing' [Q 74:28].

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.
