لِأَنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّ مَوْطِنَ الخَيَالِ يَطْلُبُ التَّعْبِيرَ فَغَفَلَ فَمَا وَفَّى المَوْطِنَ حَقَّهُ وَصَدَّقَ الرُّؤْيَا لِهَذَا السَّبَبِ كَمَا فَعَلَ بَقِيُّ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ الإِمَامُ صَاحِبُ المُسْنَدِ سَمِعَ فِي الخَبَرِ الَّذِي ثَبَتَ عِنْدَهُ أَنَّهُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ قَالَ مَنْ رَآنِي فِي النَّوْمِ فَقَدْ رَآنِي فِي اليَقَظَةِ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَا يَتَمَثَّلُ عَلَى صُورَتِي فَرَآهُ بَقِيُّ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ وَسَقَاهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي هَذِهِ الرُّؤْيَا لَبَنًا فَصَدَّقَ بَقِيُّ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ رُؤْيَاهُ فَاسْتَقَاءَ فَقَاءَ لَبَنًا وَلَوْ عَبَّرَ رُؤْيَاهُ لَكَانَ ذَٰلِكَ اللَّبَنُ عِلْمًا فَحَرَمَهُ اللَّهُ عِلْمًا كَثِيرًا عَلَى قَدْرِ مَا شَرِبَ
For he knows that the abode of imagination calls for interpretation; yet he was heedless, and so did not give the abode its due, and he took the vision as true [to its literal form] (ṣaddaqa al-ruʾyā; cf. Q 37:105) for this reason. [This is] just as Baqī ibn Makhlad, the imam and author of the Musnad, did. He had heard, in the report that was established [as sound] in his view, that he [the Prophet], upon him be peace, said: “Whoever sees me in sleep has seen me in wakefulness, for Satan does not take on the likeness of my form” [ḥadīth]. Then Baqī ibn Makhlad saw him, and in this vision the Prophet, God bless him and give him peace, gave him milk to drink. Baqī ibn Makhlad took his vision as true [to its literal form], so he made himself vomit, and he vomited milk. Had he interpreted his vision, that milk would have been knowledge. So God deprived him of much knowledge, in the measure of what he drank.

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.
