أَلَا تَرَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُتِيَ فِي المَنَامِ بِقَدَحِ لَبَنٍ قَالَ فَشَرِبْتُهُ حَتَّى خَرَجَ الرِّيُّ مِنْ أَظَافِرِي ثُمَّ أَعْطَيْتُ فَضْلِي عُمَرَ قِيلَ مَا أَوَّلْتَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ العِلْمُ وَمَا تَرَكَهُ لَبَنًا عَلَى صُورَةِ مَا رَآهُ لِعِلْمِهِ بِمَوْطِنِ الرُّؤْيَا وَمَا تَقْتَضِي مِنَ التَّعْبِيرِ وَقَدْ عَلِمَ أَنَّ صُورَةَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الَّتِي شَاهَدَهَا الحِسُّ أَنَّهَا فِي المَدِينَةِ مَدْفُونَةٌ وَأَنَّ صُورَةَ رُوحِهِ وَلَطِيفَتِهِ مَا شَاهَدَهَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَحَدٍ وَلَا مِنْ نَفْسِهِ

Do you not see that the Messenger of God (God bless him and grant him peace) was brought a cup of milk in a dream, and he said: "I drank it until the quenching came out from my fingernails; then I gave what was left over to ʿUmar." It was said: "What did you interpret it as, O Messenger of God?" He said: "Knowledge." He did not leave it as milk in the form in which he saw it, because of his knowledge of the domain of the dream-vision and of the interpretation it requires. And [Baqī] knew that the form of the Prophet (God bless him and grant him peace) that the senses witnessed is buried in Medina, and that the form of his spirit and of his subtle reality has never been witnessed by anyone: no one [has witnessed this] of anyone else, nor even of himself.

al-Qāshānī

﴿وقد علم أن صورة النبي عليه الصلاة والسلام التي شاهدها الحس أنها في المدينة مدفونة ، وأن صورة روحه ولطيفته ما شاهدها أحد من أحد ولا من نفسه ، وكل روح بهذه المثابة ، فتجسد له روح النبي عليه الصلاة والسلام في المنام بصورة جسده كما مات عليه ، ولا يخرم منه شيء ، فهو محمد عليه الصلاة والسلام المرئي من حيث روحه في صورة جسدية تشبه المدفونة ، لا يمكن للشيطان أن يتصور بصورة جسده صلى الله عليه وسلم عصمة من الله في حق الرائي ، ولهذا من رآه بهذه الصورة يأخذ عنه جميع ما يأمره به أو ينهاه أو يخبره ، كما كان يأخذه عنه في الحياة الدنيا من الأحكام ، على حسب ما يكون منه اللفظ الدال عليه من نص أو ظاهر أو مجمل أو ما كان ، فإن أعطاه شيئا فإن ذلك الشيء هو الذي يدخله التعبير ، فإن خرج في الحس كما كان في الخيال ، فتلك الرؤيا لا تعبير لها ، وبهذا القدر وعليه اعتمد إبراهيم الخليل عليه الصلاة والسلام ، وتقى بن مخلد﴾

, upon him be blessing and peace, and Taqī ibn Makhlad rely] and since Abraham was protected [from error] (maʿṣūm), God protected him from the slaughter of his son, whereas Taqī ibn Makhlad was not protected from vomiting by his restraint from it, and so knowledge forbade him [from acting on the literal vision].

Ibn Turka

﴿ألا ترى رسول الله صلَّى الله عليه وسلَّم لما اتي في المنام بقدح لبن قال : « فشربته حتّى خرج الريّ من أظافيري ، ثمّ أعطيت فضلي عمر » . قيل : « ما أوّلته يا رسول الله » ؟ قال : « العلم » ، وما تركه لبنا على صورة ما رآه ، لعلمه بموطن الرؤيا وما يقتضي من التعبير﴾

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

مسلم و الترمذي واعلم أنّ في تعبيره الرؤيا بهذه العبارة إشارة لطيفة إلى أنّ العلم الذي رؤي العطشان ، هو الذي خرج من أظافير أصابع يدي قدرته ، ووضعه الشعائر المستدعية للإشعار من ظواهر الصور المتكثرة الكونيّة التي تعلم وترقى عند النظر والافتكار . ففيه تلويح إلى الصور الكتابية من تلك الكونيات بخصوصها أنّها هي منابع ذلك العلم ، وأنّ فضلها قد اختصّ به عمر . أي له عمر وبقاء بعده هذا لمن له قوّة التدبّر في الإشارات الختميّة . من رأى رسول الله صلَّى الله عليه وآله في المنام ثمّ إنّ صورة محمّد عليه السّلام على ما علم من الحديث على خلاف هذا المقتضى في الرؤيا ، لأنّه لا يقبل التعبير ، فلا بدّ من بيانه بما ينبئ عن وجه اختصاصه بين الصور بذلك ، وعن معقوليّة أمره وتمام كيفيّته . فقوله

[narrated by Muslim and al-Tirmidhī]. And know that in his interpreting the vision with this expression there is a subtle allusion to the fact that the knowledge which the thirsty one was seen [drinking] is that which issued forth from the fingernails of the fingers of his [God's] power-hand, and He placed therein the indicative marks (shaʿāʾir) summoning to be alerted, drawn from the outward forms of the manifold cosmic forms, which are known and ascended toward through contemplation and reflection. In this there is an indication toward the scriptural/written forms (al-ṣuwar al-kitābiyya) among those cosmic things specifically — that they are the wellsprings of that knowledge, and that its surplus (faḍl) was reserved specially for ʿUmar — that is, for him is 'umr (long life) and survival after him. This [insight belongs] to one who possesses the capacity for deep reflection upon the sealing allusions (al-ishārāt al-khatmiyya). On Whoever Sees the Messenger of God (peace be upon him and his family) in Sleep: Now the form of Muḥammad (peace be upon him), as is known from the ḥadīth, is contrary to this requirement in dreams, for it does not admit of interpretation (taʿbīr); so there must be an explanation of this, clarifying the manner of its specific distinction among forms in this regard, and the intelligibility of this matter and the completeness of how it is so. His saying [peace be upon him]...

﴿وقد علم أنّ صورة النبي عليه السّلام - التي شاهدها الحس - أنّها مدفونة في المدينة ، وأنّ صورة روحه ولطيفته ما شاهدها أحد من أحد ، ولا من نفسه - كلّ روح بهذه المثابة فيتجسّد له روح النبيّ عليه السّلام في المنام بصورة جسده ، كما مات عليه ، لا يخرم منه شيئا ، فهو محمّد عليه السّلام المرئي من حيث روحه ، في صورة جسدية تشبه المدفونة ، لا يمكن لشيطان أن يتصوّر بصورة جسده عليه السّلام ، عصمة من الله في حقّ الرائي﴾

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

فإنّه هو مظهر الهداية التامّة ، والخاتم لإبانة طريق الحق على الخاصّة والعامّة فلو لم يكن الرائي لصورته معصوما وأمكن الشيطان أن يتصوّره بتلك الصورة ما يتمّ له شيء من ذلك

for he is the manifestation of complete guidance, and the Seal who clarifies the path of truth for both the elite and the common folk. For if the one who sees his form were not protected, and it were possible for Satan to take on that form, none of this would be realized.

Jāmī

﴿ألا ترى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أتي في المنام بقدح لبن: «فشربته حتى خرج الري من أظافيري ثم أعطيت فضلي عمر». قيل ما أولته يا رسول الله؟ قال العلم، وما تركه لبنا على صورة ما رآه لعلمه بموطن الرؤيا وما تقتضيه من التعبير. وقد علم أن صورة النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم التي شاهدها الحس أنها في المدينة مدفونة، وأن صورة روحه ولطيفته ما شاهدها أحد من أحد ولا من نفسه. كل روح بهذه المثابة فتتجسد له روح النبي في المنام بصورة جسده كما مات عليه لا يخرم منه شيء. فهو محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم المرئي من حيث روحه في صورة جسدية تشبه المدفونة﴾

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

(ألا ترى أن رسول الله و أتي في المنام بقدح لبن قال: «فشربته حتى خرج الري من أظافيري ثم أعطيت فضلي عمر قيل : ما أولته یا رسول الله قال : أولته العلم، وما تركه لبنا على صورة ما رآه لعلمه بموطن الرؤيا وما تقتضي من التعبير). ولما ذهب الكلام إلى ذكر رؤية النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم في المنام أراد أن يحقق أن المرئي حينئذ ما هو؟ فقال

(Do you not see that the Messenger of God — was brought in the dream a cup of milk, he said: "I drank it until satiety came out from my fingertips, then I gave my remainder to ʿUmar." It was asked: "What did you interpret it as, O Messenger of God?" He said: "I interpreted it as knowledge," and his leaving it as milk, in the form in which he saw it, was due to his knowledge of the station of the dream-vision and what it requires by way of interpretation). And when the discourse moved to mention of the vision of the Prophet (peace be upon him) in a dream, he [the author] wanted to establish what exactly is seen at that time; so he said:

al-Qāshānī

﴿ألا ترى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أتى في المنام بقدح لبن قال « فشربته حتى خرج الري من أظافيرى ، ثم أعطيت فضلى عمر ، قيل : ما أولته يا رسول الله ؟ قال : العلم﴾

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

وما تركه لبنا على صورة ما رآه لعلمه بموطن الرؤيا وما يقتضي من التعبير ". إنما أول اللبن بالعلم ، لأن اللبن غذاء لأبدان الأطفال الناقصين الباقين على الفطرة ، فهو صورة العلم النافع الذي هو غذاء لأرواح الناقصين الصادقين ، كالماء الذي هو سبب الحياة ، والعسل الذي هو صورة العلم الذوقية العرفانية ، والخمر الذي هو صورة الجليات والعشقيات الشهودية قال الشيخ رضي الله عنه

He did not leave it as milk in the form in which he saw it, because of his knowledge of the station of vision and what it requires by way of interpretation. He interpreted the milk precisely as knowledge, because milk is the nourishment of the bodies of infants who are deficient [in development] and who remain upon the original nature (fiṭra); so it is the form of beneficial knowledge, which is the nourishment of the spirits of the deficient who are truthful — just as water is the cause of life, and honey is the form of experiential, gnostic knowledge (al-ʿilm al-dhawqī al-ʿirfānī), and wine is the form of the manifest realities and the states of passionate witnessed love (al-jaliyyāt wa-al-ʿishqiyyāt al-shuhūdiyya). The Shaykh, may God be pleased with him, said:

al-Qayṣarī

﴿فشربته حتى خرج الري من أظافيري، ثم أعطيت فضلي عمر قيل ما أولته يا رسول الله؟ قال: العلم﴾

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

وما تركه لبنا على صورة ما رآه، لعلمه بمواطن الرؤي ( وما يقتضى من التعبير). وإنما أول اللبن بالعلم، لأنه غذاء الأرواح، كما أن اللبن غذاء الأجسام. ولما ذكر قوله، عليه السلام

He did not leave it as milk in the form of what he saw, because of his knowledge of the stations of visions (and what they require by way of interpretation). He interpreted the milk as knowledge because it is the nourishment of spirits, just as milk is the nourishment of bodies. And when he mentioned his saying, peace be upon him

Bālī Zāde

﴿یا رسول الله قال : العلم وما تركه … لبنا على صورة ما رآه لعلمه بموطن الرؤيا و﴾

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

لعلمه (ما يقتضي من التعبير) ، وإنما أول اللبن بالعلم لأن الروح ألطف المخلوقات والعلم ألطف الأغذية الروحانية والصبيان ألطف الأجسام واللبن غذاؤهم وهو ألطف الغذاء الجسمانية

because of his knowledge (of what interpretation requires). He interpreted the milk as knowledge because the spirit is the subtlest of created things, and knowledge is the subtlest of spiritual nourishments; and children are the subtlest of bodies, and milk is their nourishment, being the subtlest of bodily nourishments.

al-Qayṣarī

﴿وقد علم أن صورة النبي، صلى الله عليه وسلم، التي شاهدها الحس، إنها … في المدينة مدفونة، وعلم أن … صورة روحه ولطيفته، ما شاهدها أحد من أحد ولا من نفسه﴾

أي، ما شاهد الصورة الروحانية، من حيث تجردها، أحد من بنى آدم في أحد غيره، ولا في نفسه. فيكون (من) مستعملا في مقام (في). وفي هذا السياق لطيفة. وهي أن روحه، عليه السلام، أبو الأرواح كلها، و (الولد سر أبيه) ،. فلطيفته وحقيقته سارية في جميع الأرواح. فكما لا يقدر على شهود صورة روحه عليه السلام، أحد، كذلك لا يقدر على شهود تلك الصورة الروحانية في نفسه وفي غيره أحد. لذلك قال

that is, no one among the children of Adam has witnessed the spiritual form, in respect of its disengagement, in anyone else nor in himself. Thus 'min' [in] is used in the sense of 'fī' [in/within]. There is a subtlety in this context: namely, that his spirit, peace be upon him, is the father of all spirits, and 'the child is the secret of his father.' So his subtle reality and his truth pervade all spirits. Just as no one is able to witness the form of his spirit, peace be upon him, likewise no one is able to witness that spiritual form in himself or in another. For this reason he said

Jāmī

﴿وقد علم أن صورة النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم التي شاهدها الحس﴾

عند حياته صلى الله عليه وسلم

during his lifetime (peace be upon him)

Bālī Zāde

﴿وقد علم أن صورة النبي عليه السلام التي شاهدها الحس … إنها في المدينة مدفونة و … أن صورة روحه ولطيفته ما شاهدها أحد من … أحد ولا من﴾

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

صورة (نفسه) بل لا بد لشهود روحه من صورة جسده المدفونة في المدينة

the form (of itself); rather, the witnessing of his spirit necessarily requires the form of his body buried in Medina.
