فَصُّ حِكْمَةٍ قُدُّوسِيَّةٍ فِي كَلِمَةٍ إِدْرِيسِيَّةٍ

فَالَّذِي لِمُسَمَّى اللَّهِ هُوَ الَّذِي لِتِلْكَ الصُّورَةِ وَلَا يُقَالُ هِيَ هُوَ وَلَا هِيَ غَيْرُهُ وَقَدْ أَشَارَ أَبُو القَاسِمِ بْنُ قَسِيٍّ فِي خَلْعِهِ إِلَى هَذَا بِقَوْلِهِ أَنَّ كُلَّ اسْمٍ إِلَهِيٍّ يَتَسَمَّى بِجَمِيعِ الأَسْمَاءِ الإِلَهِيَّةِ وَيُنْعَتُ بِهَا وَذَٰلِكَ هُنَاكَ أَنَّ كُلَّ اسْمٍ يَدُلُّ عَلَى الذَّاتِ وَعَلَى المَعْنَى الَّذِي سِيقَ لَهُ وَيَطْلُبُهُ فَمِنْ حَيْثُ دَلَالَتِهِ عَلَى الذَّاتِ لَهُ جَمِيعُ الأَسْمَاءِ وَمِنْ حَيْثُ دَلَالَتِهِ عَلَى المَعْنَى الَّذِي يَنْفَرِدُ بِهِ يَتَمَيَّزُ عَنْ غَيْرِهِ كَالرَّبِّ وَالخَالِقِ وَالمُصَوِّرِ إِلَى غَيْرِ ذَٰلِكَ
So what belongs to the One named "Allah" is what belongs to that form. And it is not said [of the form] that it is He, nor that it is other than He. Abū l-Qāsim ibn Qasī alluded to this in his Khalʿ [al-naʿlayn] when he said that every divine name is named by all the divine names and is qualified by them. That is because, there [in the divine presence], every name denotes the Essence and also the meaning for whose sake it was brought forth and which it demands. So inasmuch as it denotes the Essence, it has all the names; and inasmuch as it denotes the meaning to which it alone is specific, it is distinguished from the others, such as the Lord, the Creator, the Form-giver, and so on.

Jāmī
﴿وقد أشار أبو القاسم بن قسي في خلعه إلى هذا بقوله: إن كل اسم إلهي يتسمى بجميع الأسماء الإلهية وينعت بها. وذلك أن كل اسم يدل على الذات و على المعنى الذي سيق له ويطلبه. فمن حيث دلالته على الذات له جميع الأسماء، ومن حيث دلالته على المعنى الذي ينفرد به، يتميز عن غيره كالرب والخالق والمصور إلى غير ذلك. فالاسم المسمى من حيث الذات، والاسم غير المسمى من حيث ما يختص به من المعنى الذي سيق له. فإذا فهمت أن العلي ما ذكرناه علمت أنه ليس علو المكان ولا علو المكانة، فإن علو المكانة يختص بولاة الأمر كالسلطان والحكام والوزراء والقضاة وكل ذي منصب سواء كانت فيه أهلية لذلك المنصب أو لم تكن، والعلو بالصفات ليس كذلك﴾

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.
