(قَوْلُهُ وَبُرْهانٌ) سَيَأْتِي أَنَّهُ ما رُكِّبَ مِنْ مُقَدِّماتٍ يَقِينِيَّةٍ، نَحْوُ قَوْلِكَ: زَيْدٌ إِنْسانٌ، وَكُلُّ إِنْسانٍ حَيَوانٌ، يُنْتِجُ: زَيْدٌ حَيَوانٌ، وَسُمِّيَ بِذٰلِكَ لِأَنَّهُ مَأْخُوذٌ مِنَ البَرْهِ، وَهُوَ القَطْعُ، لِما فِيهِ مِنْ قَطْعِ الخَصْمِ عَنِ المُنازَعَةِ. (قَوْلُهُ جَدَلٌ) هُوَ بِفَتْحِ أَوَّلِهِ ما رُكِّبَ مِنْ مُقَدِّماتٍ مَشْهُورَةٍ أَوْ مُسَلَّمَةٍ، إِمّا عِنْدَ النّاسِ وَإِمّا عِنْدَ الخَصْمِ؛ فَمِثالُ الأَوَّلِ أَنْ تَقُولَ: الظُّلْمُ قَبِيحٌ، وَكُلُّ قَبِيحٍ يَشِينُ، يُنْتِجُ: الظُّلْمُ يَشِينُ.

(His words “and demonstration”): it will be explained that it is what is composed of certain premises, as when you say, “Zayd is a human, and every human is an animal”, yielding “Zayd is an animal.” It is so named because it is taken from barh, “cutting”, since it cuts the opponent off from disputing. (“Dialectic”): jadal, with a on the first letter, is what is composed of widely accepted or conceded premises, accepted either by people at large or by the opponent. An example of the first is to say, “Injustice is ugly, and everything ugly disgraces”, yielding “Injustice disgraces.”

(قَوْلُهُ مُتَواتِراتٌ) هِيَ ما يُدْرِكُها العَقْلُ بِواسِطَةِ السَّماعِ عَنْ جَمْعٍ يُؤْمَنُ تَواطُؤُهُمْ عَلَى الكَذِبِ، كَقَوْلِكَ: سَيِّدُنا مُحَمَّدٌ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ظَهَرَتِ المُعْجِزَةُ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ، وَالصَّحِيحُ أَنَّهُ لا يُشْتَرَطُ عَدَدٌ مَخْصُوصٌ، بَلِ المَدارُ عَلَى كَوْنِ المُخْبِرِينَ يَمْتَنِعُ تَواطُؤُهُمْ عَلَى الكَذِبِ، وَيَخْتَلِفُ ذٰلِكَ بِاخْتِلافِ الوَقائِعِ وَالأَحْوالِ.

(His words “the transmitted by many”): they are what the mind grasps through hearing from a group whose agreeing on a lie is ruled out, as when you say, “Our master Muḥammad, God bless him and give him peace, worked miracles.” The sound view is that no particular number is required: what counts is that the informants cannot have agreed on a lie, and that differs with the events and the circumstances.

الدَّرْس

The Sullam divides arguments by their matter into five: (burhān), from ; (jadal), from the widely accepted and the conceded; , from the received and the supposed; poetry, from the ; and , from the and the look-alikes. It names the kinds of certain premise: , the observed, the experienced, the transmitted by many, the intuited and the sensed.

Al-Bājūrī explains each name and gives it an example. is named from barh, “cutting”, because it cuts the opponent off from disputing: “Zayd is a human, and every human is an animal; so Zayd is an animal.” uses accepted by people at large or by the opponent: “Injustice is ugly, and everything ugly disgraces; so injustice disgraces.”

Of the transmitted by many (mutawātirāt) he says that what counts is not a set number of informants but that their agreeing on a lie is ruled out, which differs with the events and circumstances; and he notes that scholars disagree whether such is or . Only yields certainty; the other arts have their uses, but a careful reasoner knows which kind of premise he is using.
