فَإِيَّاكَ أَنْ تَغْفُلُ عَنْهَا فَإِنَّ تِلْكَ الحَضْرَةَ الَّتِي تُبْقِي لَكَ الحُضُورَ فِيهَا مَعَ الصُّورَةِ مَثَلُهَا مَثَلُ الكِتَابِ الَّذِي قَالَ اللَّهُ فِيهِ مَّا فَرَّطْنَا فِى ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ مِن شَىْءٍ فَهُوَ الجَامِعُ لِلْوَاقِعِ وَغَيْرِ الوَاقِعِ وَلَا يَعْرِفُ مَا قُلْنَاهُ إِلَّا مَنْ كَانَ قُرْآنًا فِي نَفْسِهِ فَإِنَّ المُتَّقِيَ اللَّهَ يَجْعَلْ لَهُ فُرْقَانًا وَهُوَ مِثْلُ مَا ذَكَرْنَاهُ فِي هَذِهِ المَسْأَلَةِ فِيمَا يَتَمَيَّزُ بِهِ العَبْدُ مِنَ الرَّبِّ وَهَذَا الفُرْقَانُ أَرْفَعُ فُرْقَانٍ فَوَقْتًا يَكُونُ العَبْدُ رَبًّا بِلَا شَكٍّ وَوَقْتًا يَكُونُ العَبْدُ عَبْدًا بِلَا إِفْكِ فَإِنْ كَانَ عَبْدًا كَانَ بِالحَقِّ وَاسِعًا وَإِنْ كَانَ رَبًّا كَانَ فِي عِيشَةٍ ضَنْكِ
So beware lest you become heedless of it! For that presence which keeps for you [your] presence in it along with the form is like the Book of which God said, 'We have neglected nothing in the Book' [Q 6:38]. It gathers together what occurs and what does not occur. No one knows what we have said except one who is in himself a qurʾān [a gathering]. For whoever is wary of God, 'He will make for him a discrimination (furqān)' [cf. Q 8:29], and that is like what we have mentioned in this question concerning that by which the servant is distinguished from the Lord. This discrimination is the loftiest discrimination. At one time the servant is a lord without doubt, and at another time the servant is a servant without falsehood. If he is a servant, he is through the Real ample; and if he is a lord, he is in a straitened life [cf. Q 20:124].

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.
