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﴾

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.
