The commentators side by side
فَصُّ حِكْمَةٍ مُهَيَّمِيَّةٍ فِي كَلِمَةٍ إِبْرَاهِيمِيَّةٍ

ثُمَّ يَأْتِي الكَشْفُ الآخَرُ فَيَظْهَرُ لَكَ صُورَنَا فِيهِ فَيَظْهَرُ بَعْضُنَا لِبَعْضٍ فِي الحَقِّ فَيَعْرِفُ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضًا وَيَتَمَيَّزُ بَعْضُنَا عَنْ بَعْضٍ فَمِنَّا مَن يَعْرِفُ أَنَّ فِي الحَقِّ وَقَعَتْ هَذِهِ المَعْرِفَةُ لَنَا بِنا وَمِنَّا مَن يَجْهَلُ الحَضْرَةَ الَّتِي وَقَعَتْ فِيهَا هَذِهِ المَعْرِفَةُ بِنا أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ أَنْ أَكُونَ مِنَ الجَاهِلِينَ
Then the other unveiling comes, and our forms become manifest to you in Him. Some of us become manifest to others in the Real, so some of us know others, and some of us are distinguished from others. Among us are those who know that it is in the Real that this knowledge of ours, through ourselves, came about. Among us are those who are ignorant of the presence in which this knowledge through ourselves came about. 'I seek refuge in God lest I be among the ignorant' [Q 2:67].

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.
