وَهَذَا فِي كُلِّ ضِدٍّ وَالمُتَكَلِّمُ وَاحِدٌ وَهُوَ عَيْنُ السَّامِعِ يَقُولُ النَّبِيُّ صلى اللهُ عليهِ وسلم وَمَا حَدَّثَتْ بِهِ أَنْفُسَهَا فَهِيَ المُحَدِّثَةُ السَّامِعَةُ حَدِيثَهَا العَالِمَةُ بِمَا حَدَثَتْ بِهِ نَفْسَهَا وَالعَيْنُ وَاحِدَةٌ وَاخْتَلَفَتِ الأَحْكَامُ وَلَا سَبِيلَ إِلَى جَهْلِ مِثْلِ هَذَا فَإِنَّهُ يَعْلَمُهُ كُلُّ إِنسَانٍ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ وَهُوَ صُورَةُ الحَقِّ فَاخْتَلَطَتِ الأُمُورُ وَظَهَرَتِ الأَعْدَادُ بِالْواحِدِ فِي المَرَاتِبِ المَعْلُومَةِ فَأَوْجَدَ الوَاحِدُ العَدَدَ وَفَصَّلَ العَدَدُ الوَاحِدَ وَمَا ظَهَرَ حُكْمُ العَدَدِ إِلَّا بِالمَعْدُودِ وَالمَعْدُودُ مِنهُ عَدَمٌ وَمِنْهُ وُجُودٌ فَقَدْ يُعْدَمُ الشَّيْءُ مِنْ حَيْثُ الحِسُّ وَهُوَ مَوْجُودٌ مِنْ حَيْثُ العَقْلُ
And this [holds] in every opposite, while the speaker is one, and He is the very self of the hearer. The Prophet (God bless him and grant him peace) says: "and what they have told their selves" [hadith]. So it [the soul] is the one who speaks, the one who hears its own speech, and the one who knows what it has told itself. The entity is one, while the rulings differ. There is no way to be ignorant of something like this, for every human being knows it from himself, and he is the form of the Real. So matters became intermingled, and the numbers became manifest through the one in the known ranks. Thus the one brought number into existence, and number laid out the one in detail; and the property of number became manifest only through the counted. Some of the counted is nonexistence and some of it is existence, for a thing may be nonexistent with respect to the senses while being existent with respect to the intellect.

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.
