﴿ومن بين احشاء الدنان تصاعدت﴾

والتصاعد تفاعل يقتضى صعودها شيئا فشيئا وفى انعبارة استعارة بالكناية حذف فيها المشبه به وهو الانسان واضافة الاحشاء الى الدنان استعارة تخييلية والتصاعد يمكن آن يعتبر ترشيحا وتجريدا فتامل

Taṣāʿud (rising up) is a tafāʿul [form], which entails its rising little by little. In the expression there is an istiʿāra bi-l-kināya (implicit metaphor) in which the thing compared to, namely the human being, is omitted. Attributing 'entrails' to the wine-jars is an istiʿāra takhyīliyya (imaginative metaphor). The taṣāʿud may be regarded both as tarshīḥ (reinforcement of the metaphor) and as tajrīd (divestment of the metaphor); so reflect.

﴿ولم يبق منها فى الحقيقة الا اسم﴾

دقيق لتمامها وهذا اشارة الى اضمحلال الكمالات الوجودية وفناء المعارف الانسانية الى أن لا يبقى سوى ما اشار اليه صاحب المرتبة الخاتمة من يقاءما هو خلاف الخير والله تعالى دافع كل ضير

[…] because of its completeness. This is an allusion to the dwindling away of existential perfections and the passing away of human gnoses, until nothing remains except what the possessor of the sealing rank alluded to: the remaining of what is contrary to good. God Most High wards off every harm.

﴿تصاعدت﴾

أى المدامة المذ كورة يعنى ارتفعت شيئا فشيئا وهو كناية عن خفاء العلوم الالهية من صدور الرجال وتقاصر الهمم الروحانية عن نيلها وطلبها لانحراف القلوب عن هذا المجال وموجب ذلك كمال الرغبة فى محبة الدنيا وشهواتها وزيادة الانهماك فيها والاقبال

That is, the aforementioned wine; he means it rose little by little. This is a kināya (metonymy) for the concealment of the divine sciences from the breasts of men, and for spiritual aspirations falling short of attaining and seeking them, because hearts have turned away from this field. The cause of that is the utmost desire for love of this world and its lusts, and increased absorption in it and turning toward [it].

al-Nābulusī · pt. II, p. 177

﴿ولم يبق﴾

الخ فيقال ارتفعت الحقيقة المدامية بعد تجليها بنزولها فى الصور الحسية والمعنوية ولم يبق منها عند المريد الصادق الا الاسم الذى يتولاه لانه مجلاه قال تعالى ولله الاسماء الحسنى فادعوه بها فانه لا يدعى ويطلب الا باسمائه لانها المتصرفة فى العوالم دون الذات المقدسة لغناها عن العالمين بحكم قول الله تعالى والله غنى ءن العالمين اه

… etc. So it is said: the wine-like reality rose after its tajallī (self-disclosure) by descending into sensible and intelligible forms, and nothing remained of it with the sincere aspirant except the Name that takes charge of him, because he is its majlā (locus of manifestation). God Most High said: 'To God belong the most beautiful names, so call upon Him by them' (Q 7:180). For He is not called upon or sought except by His names, because it is they that act in the worlds, not the holy Essence, since It is independent of the worlds, by virtue of God Most High's saying: 'And God is independent of the worlds.'
