¶ 11 · 74 words · shading: how many commentators stop on each word
فَإِذَا تَخَلَّلَ الرِّزْقُ ذَاتَ المَرْزُوقِ بِحَيْثُ لَا يَبْقَى فِيهِ شَيْءٌ إِلَّا تَخَلَّلَهُ فَإِنَّ الغِذَاءَ يَسْرِي فِي جَمِيعِ أَجْزَاءِ المُتَغَذِّي كُلِّهَا وَمَا هُنَالِكَ أَجْزَاءٌ فَلَا بُدَّ أَنْ يَتَخَلَّلَ جَمِيعَ المَقَامَاتِ الإِلٰهِيَّةِ المُعَبَّرِ عَنْهَا بِالأَسْمَاءِ فَتَظْهَرُ بِهَا ذَاتُهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا فَنَحْنُ لَهُ كَمَا ثَبَتَتْ أَدِلَّتُنَا وَنَحْنُ لَنَا وَلَيْسَ لَهُ سِوَى كَوْنِي فَنَحْنُ لَهُ كَنَحْنُ بِنَا فَلِي وَجْهَانِ هُوَ وَأَنَا وَلَيْسَ لَهُ أَنَا بِأَنَا وَلَكِنْ فِي مَظْهَرُهُ فَنَحْنُ لَهُ كَمِثْلِ إِنَّا وَاللَّهُ يَقُولُ ٱلحَقُّ وَهُوَ يَهْدِي السَّبِيلَ
So when provision permeates the very essence of the one provided for, such that nothing remains in him that it has not permeated (for nourishment flows through all the parts of the one nourished, every one of them, though there are no parts there), then it must permeate all the divine stations designated by the Names, so that His Essence, majestic and exalted is He, becomes manifest through them. So we belong to Him, as our proofs have established, and we belong to ourselves. He has nothing but my being; so we are His just as we are through ourselves. Thus I have two faces: He and I; but He has no 'I' through an 'I', rather [He has it] in His locus of manifestation. So we are to Him like 'Indeed We' [variant reading: like a vessel]. 'And God speaks the truth, and He guides on the way' [Q 33:4].

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.
