وَالعَارِفُ يَخْلُقُ بِالهِمَّةِ مَا يَكُونُ لَهُ وُجُودٌ مِنْ خَارِجِ مَحَلِّ الهِمَّةِ وَلَكِنْ لَا تَزَالُ الهِمَّةُ تَحْفَظُهُ وَلَا يَئُودُهَا حِفْظُهُ أَي حِفْظُ مَا خَلَقَتْهُ فَمَتَى طَرَأَ عَلَى العَارِفِ غَفْلَةٌ عَنْ حِفْظِ مَا خَلَقَ عُدِمَ ذَلِكَ المَخْلُوقُ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ العَارِفُ قَدْ ضَبَطَ جَمِيعَ الحَضَرَاتِ وَهُوَ لَا يَغْفُلُ مُطْلَقًا بَلْ لَا بُدَّ لَهُ مِنْ حَضْرَةٍ يَشْهَدُهَا فَإِذَا خَلَقَ العَارِفُ بِهِمَّتِهِ مَا خَلَقَ وَلَهُ هَذِهِ الإِحَاطَةُ ظَهَرَ ذَلِكَ الخَلْقُ بِصُورَتِهِ فِي كُلِّ حَضْرَةٍ وَصَارَتِ الصُّوَرُ تَحْفَظُ بَعْضُهَا بَعْضًا

The knower [ʿārif] creates by means of aspiration [himma] that which has existence outside the locus of the aspiration; yet the aspiration never ceases to preserve it, and its preserving does not weary it [cf. Q 2:255], that is, the preserving of what it has created. So whenever heedlessness of preserving what he has created befalls the knower, that created thing becomes nonexistent, unless the knower has taken firm hold of all the presences, so that he is never heedless at all; rather, there is always some presence that he witnesses. So when the knower creates by his aspiration what he creates while he possesses this all-encompassment, that creation becomes manifest in its form in every presence, and the forms come to preserve one another.

al-Qāshānī

﴿فإذا خلق العارف بهمته ما خلق وله هذه الإحاطة، ظهر ذلك الخلق بصورته في كل حضرة وصارت الصورة تحفظ بعضها بعضا ، فإذا غفل العارف عن حضرة ما أو عن حضرات وهو شاهد حضرة ما من الحضرات حافظ لما فيها من صورة خلقه انحفظت جميع الصور بحفظه تلك الصورة الواحدة في الحضرة التي ما غفل عنها ، لأن الغفلة ما تعم قط لا في العموم ولا في الخصوص﴾

قد علمت أن الصورة الحسية الخارجية آخر مراتب الوجود ، والصورة التي قبلها صورها فهي كالروح لها فإذا كان للعارف الإحاطة بالحضرات كلها يكفيه حضورها في واحدة من تلك الحضرات . فإن تلك الصور حافظة بعضها بعضا أي العالية تحفظ ما تحتها ، فإذا شهدها في حضرة واحدة منها انحفظت الجميع ، لأن الغفلة ما تعم قط بحيث يغفل عن كل شيء لا يحضر صاحبها شيئا ما ولو نفسه لا في عموم الناس ولا في خصوصهم ففي أي حضرة حضر العارف حفظ صورة فيها فانحفظت الخارجية بها . أو لأن غفلة العارف لا تعم في العموم ، أي في عموم الصور لشهوده واحدة منها ، ولا في الخصوص لحفظه كل واحدة منها بواسطة حفظ البعض. قال الشيخ رضي الله عنه

Presences, while he is witnessing some one Presence among the Presences, preserving the form of his creation that is within it, then all the [other] forms are preserved through his preserving that single form in the Presence of which he is not heedless — for heedlessness never becomes total (ʿāmma), neither in a general sense nor in a particular sense.] You already know that the external sensory form is the last of the levels of existence, and the form that precedes it is what gives it form, being like its spirit. So if the knower possesses the encompassment of all the Presences, its presence in a single one of those Presences suffices him. For those forms preserve one another, meaning the higher ones preserve what is beneath them; so if he witnesses it in one Presence among them, all are preserved, since heedlessness is never total such that one becomes heedless of everything — its possessor is never [wholly] absent from something, even from himself, neither in the general run of people nor among their elite. So in whatever Presence the knower is present, he preserves a form within it, and thereby the external [sensory] form is preserved through it. Or [it may be explained] because the knower's heedlessness is not total in the general sense — i.e., in the generality of the forms, since he witnesses one of them — nor in the particular sense, since he preserves each one of them by means of preserving some [of them]. The Shaykh, may God be pleased with him, said:

Ibn Turka

﴿وهو لا يغفل مطلقا، بل لا بدّ له من حضرة يشهدها، فإذا خلق العارف بهمّته ما خلق وله هذه الإحاطة، ظهر ذلك الخلق بصورته في كلّ حضرة، وصارت الصور يحفظ بعضها بعضا، فإذا غفل العارف عن حضرة ما، أو حضرات - وهو شاهد حضرة ما من الحضرات، حافظ لما فيها من صورة خلقه - انحفظت جميع الصور بحفظه تلك الصورة الواحدة في الحضرة التي ما غفل عنها، لأنّ الغفلة﴾

( بصورة في كل حضرة ) لأن هذا العارف يخلق ذلك الخلق من مقام الجمع ، فيكون موجودا على صورته في كل حضرة بقدر نصيبه وصارت الصور تحفظ بعضها بعضا ، لأنه إذا كان الخلق بصورته موجودا في كل حضرة فقد تحفظ الهمة الصورة التي لا يغفل العارف عن حضرتها ، وتحفظ باقي الصور بالصورة المحفوظة بالهمة لوجوب التطابق بين الصور ، وهو معنى قوله : فإذا غفل العارف إلخ . الهمة إذا تعلقت بما ليس بحاصل في الوقت فإنها تطلب النفوذ إلى مشاهدة من تعلقت به وتحصيله ، وإذا رأى صاحب الهمة مطلوبه في نفسه زالت همته وانكسرت عن طلب النفوذ ، وهو قوله :قد يرحل المرء لمطلوبه والسبب المطلوب في الراحلفإذا انكشف لك أن مطلوبك ليس غير عينك وعينك ما فارقك ، فما يبقى لهمتك متعلق

Presences, while he is witnessing some [other] Presence and preserving what is within it of the form of his creation, then all the forms are preserved through his preserving that single form in the Presence of which he is not heedless — for heedlessness never encompasses [everything] totally, neither in the general nor in the particular.] (in a form in every Presence) because this knower creates that creation from the station of comprehensiveness (jamʿ), so it exists in its form in every Presence according to its share; and the forms come to preserve one another, because when the creation, in its form, exists in every Presence, then the aspiration preserves the form of the Presence of which the knower is not heedless, and the rest of the forms are preserved through the form preserved by the aspiration, due to the necessary correspondence between the forms — this being the meaning of his saying: So if the knower becomes heedless, etc. The aspiration (himma), when it attaches to what is not actually present at a given moment, seeks to penetrate through to the witnessing of that to which it is attached, and to its attainment. And when the possessor of the aspiration sees his sought object within himself, his aspiration ceases and is broken off from seeking penetration — and this is [the poet's] saying: 'Sometimes a man journeys toward his sought object, while the cause of what is sought lies in the very traveler.' So if it is unveiled to you that your sought object is none other than your own self, and your self has never parted from you, then nothing remains for your aspiration to attach to.

Bālī Zāde's gloss, printed inside al-Qāshānī's commentary in the ibnalarabi.com text (line 3792); moved here

Ibn Turka

﴿يخلق بالهمّة ما يكون له وجود من خارج محل الهمّة﴾

وذلك عند ظهور سلطانه واستجماع جنوده وقواه تحت قهرمانه ، النافذ أمره في سائر العوالم والحضرات

and that occurs when his dominion appears and his hosts and faculties are gathered together under his command, which is operative throughout the rest of the worlds and presences

al-Qayṣarī

﴿ما يكون له وجود من خارج محل الهمة﴾

أي، خارج الخيال الذي لنفسه، احترازا عن أصحاب السيمياء والشعبذة، فإنهم يظهرون صورا خارجة من خيالاتهم، لكن ليست خارجة من مقام الخيال، لظهورها في خيالات الحاضرين بتصرفهم فيها. والعارف المتمكن في التصرف بهمته يخلق ما يخلق في عالم الشهادة قائما بنفسه كباقي الموجودات العينية. والغيب أيضا كالصور الروحانية التي يخلقها، فيدخل بها في عالم الأرواح. ولا ينبغي أن تتأبى وتشمأز نفسك من إسناده الخلق إلى المخلوق، فإن الحق سبحانه هو الذي يخلقها فيذلك المظهر لا غيره، إلا أن الخلق يظهر حينئذ من مقامه التفصيلي كما يظهر من مقامه الجمعي. ومن هنا يعلم سر قوله: (فتبارك الله أحسن الخالقين.)

That is, outside the imagination belonging to himself—as a safeguard against the practitioners of sorcery (al-sīmiyāʾ) and legerdemain, for they make forms appear that are outside their own imaginations, yet these are not outside the station of imagination [altogether], since they appear within the imaginations of those present, through [the sorcerers'] exercising power of disposal over them. The gnostic who is firmly established in exercising power of disposal by his spiritual aspiration creates what he creates in the visible world (ʿālam al-shahāda) as something subsisting by itself, like the rest of the entified existents. Likewise in the unseen world: [he creates] spiritual forms, and by means of them enters into the world of spirits. One should not recoil or feel aversion at the ascription of creating to a created being, for the Real, glory be to Him, is the one who creates them within that locus of manifestation, and no other—except that creation then manifests from His differentiated station (maqām tafṣīlī) just as it manifests from His collective station (maqām jamʿī). From this one understands the secret of His saying: 'So blessed is God, the best of creators.'

Jāmī

﴿ما يكون له وجود من خارج محل الهمة﴾

يعني النفس والخيال احترز بذلك عن خلق أصحاب السيمياء والشعوذة فإنهم يظهرون صورة لكن في خيالات الحاضرين وهي محل الهمة منهم خلاف العارف المتصرف فإنه يخلق بهمته ما يخلق من الصور قائما بنفسه كسائر الموجودات العينية

meaning the soul and the imagination. By this he guards against the creating of practitioners of sīmiyā and sorcery, for they make a form appear, but [only] in the imaginations of those present, which is the locus of their himma — unlike the gnostic who exercises disposal, for he creates by his himma forms that are self-subsisting, like other entitative existents.

Quotes words that differ from our text (wavy underline).

والخلق هنا بمعنی قصد الإظهار من الغيب إلى الحضور ومعطي الوجود على حسب قصدهم هو الله لا غير

here "creation" (khalq) means the intention to bring forth from the unseen into presence; and the one who confers existence according to their intention is God, none other

al-Qayṣarī

﴿ولكن لا تزال الهمة تحفظه﴾

أي ذلك المخلوق. (ولا يؤدها) أي، لا يغفل الهمة حفظه. أي حفظ ما خلقته

That is, that created thing. '[And it does not weary it]'—that is, [the gnostic] does not neglect the aspiration's preserving of it, i.e., the preservation of what he has created.

Ibn Turka

﴿ولكن لا تزال الهمّة تحفظه ولا يؤدها حفظه أي حفظ ما خلقته … فمتى طرأ على العارف غفلة عن حفظ ما خلق﴾

at the predominance of the rulings of one of the presences or worlds over his moment and his being drawn toward it

Jāmī

﴿ولكن لا تزال الهمة﴾

أي همة العارف (تحفظه ولا يؤودها) أي لا يثقله (حفظه) ، أي حفظ ما خلقته

i.e., the himma of the gnostic (to preserve it, nor does its preservation weigh upon him), i.e., it does not burden him — the preservation of what he has created.

Bālī Zāde

﴿ولكن لا تزال الهمة يحفظه﴾

أي يحفظ ما خلقه (ولا يؤدها) أي لا يثقل الهمة (حفظه) أي حفظ ما خلقته الهمة

that is, preserves what it has created (and it does not weary it) that is, it does not burden the himma (its preservation) that is, the preservation of what the himma has created

al-Qayṣarī

﴿فمتى طرأ على العارف غفلة عن حفظ ما خلق عدم ذلك المخلوق﴾

لانعدام المعلول بانعدام علته

because the effect ceases to exist with the cessation of its cause.

Jāmī

﴿فمتى طرأ على العارف غفلة عن حفظ ما خلق بهمته﴾

فلا يشاهده ولا يحضر معه

﴿فمتي طرأ على المعارف غفلة عن حفظ ما خلق عدم ذلك المخلوق﴾

Quotes words that differ from our text (wavy underline).

لانعدام الإمداد بالغفلة لزوال الهمة بالغفلة فزال المعلول

because of the cessation of the sustaining support (imdād) through heedlessness, due to the lapse of the himma through heedlessness, whereby the effect (the created thing) ceases

Ibn Turka

﴿عدم ذلك المخلوق﴾

ضرورة أنّ مدده الوجودي إنّما هو من همّته وتوجّهه

necessarily, since its existential support is only from his resolve and his attention

Jāmī

﴿عدم ذلك المخلوق﴾

لانعدام علة بقائه وهي حضور العارف معه

follows, because the cause of its persistence — namely the gnostic's presence with it — has ceased to exist.

al-Qayṣarī

﴿إلا أن يكون العارف قد ضبط جميع الحضرات، وهو لايغفل مطلقا، بل لا بد له من حضرة يشهدها. فإذا خلق العارف بهمته ما خلق، ولهبه الإحاطة، ظهر ذلك الخلق بصورته﴾

Quotes words that differ from our text (wavy underline).

أي، ظهر ذلك المخلوق على صورته

presences, so that he is never heedless at all, but must always have some presence that he witnesses. So when the gnostic creates, by his aspiration, what he creates, and he possesses [this] comprehensive encompassing, that creation appears in its [proper] form'] That is, that created thing appears according to its [proper] form.

Ibn Turka

﴿إلَّا أن يكون العارف قد ضبط جميع الحضرات﴾

المرتبطة بعضها بالبعض ، ارتباط الأرواح بالأجساد والأجسام والحضرات هي المواطن الكليّة ، فلا بدّ وأن يكون لكل من الموجودات وجود في كل منها بحسبها ، كما في مرتبة الأرواح والأجساد بعينه

that are interconnected with one another, as spirits are connected to bodies - and the bodies and presences are the universal abodes, so each of the existents must have an existence in each of them according to it, just as in the rank of spirits and bodies itself

Jāmī

﴿إلا أن يكون العارف﴾

لسعة قلبه. قال الشيخ رضي الله عنه

by virtue of the vastness of his heart. The Shaykh, may God be pleased with him, said:

وهي الحضرات الخمس : عالم المعاني والأعيان الثابتة وعالم الأرواح وعالم الشهادة وعالم الإنسان الكامل الجامع لجميع العوالم كله (وهو) أي العارف

and these are the five Presences: the world of meanings and the fixed entities (al-aʿyān al-thābita), the world of spirits, the world of sensory witnessing, and the world of the perfect human (al-insān al-kāmil) which comprehends all the worlds together. (and he) i.e., the gnostic

﴿له هذه الإحاطة ظهر ذلك الخلق بصورته في كل حضرة﴾

لأن هذا العارف يخلق ذلك الخلق من مقام الجمع فيكون موجودة على صورته في كل حضرة بقدر نصيبه . (وصارت الصور يحفظ بعضها بعضا) لأنه إذا كان الخلق بصورته موجودة في كل حضرة فقد تحفظ الهمة الصورة التي لا يغفل العارف عن حضرتها وتحفظ باقي الصور بالصور المحفوظة بالهمة لوجوب التطابق بين الصورة . وهو معنى قوله

because this gnostic creates that creature from the station of Gathering (jamʿ), so it exists in his form in every Presence according to his share therein. (and the forms come to preserve one another) because when the creature exists in his form in every Presence, the himma may preserve the form whose Presence the gnostic is not oblivious of, and the rest of the forms are preserved by the forms preserved by the himma, due to the necessary correspondence between the forms. This is the meaning of his saying

al-Qayṣarī

﴿في كل حضرة، وصارت الصور تحفظ بعضها بعضا. فإذا غفل العارف عن حضرة ما، أو عن حضرات - وهو شاهد حضرة ما، من الحضرات حافظ لما فيها من صورة خلقه انحفظت جميع الصور بحفظه تلك الصورة الواحدة في الحضرة التي ما غفل عنها.﴾

المراد بالحضرات إما الحضرات الخمس الكلية، وهي عالم المعاني والأعيان الثابتة، وعالم الأرواح، وعالم المثال، وعالم الشهادة، وعالم الإنسان الكامل الجامع بين العوالم. وإما الحضرات العلوية السماوية والسفلية الأرضية وغيرها من العناصر. وإنما يتحفظ

What is meant by the presences is either the five universal presences, namely: the world of meanings and the fixed entities (al-aʿyān al-thābita), the world of spirits, the world of imagination (ʿālam al-mithāl), the world of sensory witnessing (ʿālam al-shahāda), and the world of the perfect human (al-insān al-kāmil) which combines all the worlds. Or it is the higher heavenly presences and the lower earthly ones and the other elements. And that form is only preserved

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.
