وَلَمَّا كَانَ لِلرُّؤْيَا هَذَانِ الوَجْهَانِ وَعَلَّمَنَا اللَّهُ فِيمَا فَعَلَ بِإِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمَا قَالَ لَهُ الأَدَبَ لِمَا يُعْطِيهِ مَقَامُ النُّبُوَّةِ عَلِمْنَا فِي رُؤْيَتِنَا الحَقَّ تَعَالَى فِي صُورَةٍ يَرُدُّهَا الدَّلِيلُ العَقْلِيُّ أَنْ نَعْبُرَ تِلْكَ الصُّورَةَ بِالحَقِّ المَشْرُوعِ إِمَّا فِي حَقِّ حَالِ الرَّائِي أَوِ المَكَانِ الَّذِي رَآهُ فِيهِ أَوْ هُمَا مَعًا فَإِنْ لَمْ يُرِدْهَا الدَّلِيلُ العَقْلِيُّ أَبْقَيْنَاهَا عَلَى مَا رَأَيْنَاهَا كَمَا نَرَى الحَقَّ فِي الآخِرَةِ سَوَاءٌ فَلِلْوَاحِدِ الرَّحْمَنِ فِي كُلِّ مَوْطِنٍ مِنَ الصُّوْرِ مَا يَخْفَىٰ وَمَا هُوَ ظَاهِرٌ فَإِنْ قُلْتَ هَذَا الحَقُّ قَدْ تَكُ صَادِقًا وَإِنْ قُلْتَ أَمْرٌ آخَرُ أَنْتَ عَابِرٌ
Since dream-vision has these two aspects, and since God taught us, through what He did with Abraham and what He said to him, the courtesy (adab) required by the station of prophethood, we learned that when we see the Real (exalted is He) in a form that rational proof rejects, we are to interpret (naʿbur) that form by the Real as prescribed by the revealed Law. [That interpretation concerns] either the state of the viewer, or the place in which he saw Him, or both together. If rational proof does not reject it, we leave it as we saw it, just as we shall see the Real in the hereafter, exactly alike. To the One, the All-Merciful, belong in every site forms, some of which are hidden and some manifest. If you say, 'This is the Real,' you may be truthful; and if you say, 'Something else,' you are interpreting [it] (ʿābir).

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.
