Geciteerd uit het Arabisch van Ḥāshiyat al-Bājūrī ʿalā matn al-Sullam, with al-Anbābī's taqrīr in the margin, Cairo 1324/1906

وَاعْلَمْ أَنَّ عِلْمَ المَنْطِقِ قِسْمانِ: أَحَدُهُما ما هُوَ خالٍ عَنْ ضَلالاتِ الفَلاسِفَةِ المُكَفِّرَةِ وَغَيْرِها، كَالمَذْكُورِ فِي هٰذا المَتْنِ وَمُخْتَصَرِ السَّنُوسِيِّ وَإِيساغُوجِي وَمُخْتَصَرِ ابْنِ عَرَفَةَ وَتَآلِيفِ الكاتِبِيِّ وَالخُونَجِيِّ وَالسَّعْدِ وَغَيْرِهِمْ مِنَ المُتَأَخِّرِينَ، وَهٰذا القِسْمُ لا خِلافَ فِي جَوازِ الاشْتِغالِ بِهِ، بَلْ هُوَ فَرْضُ كِفايَةٍ عَلَى أَهْلِ كُلِّ إِقْلِيمٍ، لِأَنَّهُ يَتَوَقَّفُ عَلَيْهِ رَدُّ الشُّكُوكِ فِي عِلْمِ الكَلامِ.

Know that the science of logic is of two kinds. The first is free of the errors of the philosophers that amount to unbelief and of others, like what is in this matn, in al-Sanūsī's Mukhtaṣar, the Īsāghūjī, Ibn ʿArafa's Mukhtaṣar, and the works of al-Kātibī, al-Khūnajī, al-Saʿd [al-Taftāzānī] and other later scholars. About this kind there is no disagreement that one may study it; rather it is a communal obligation (farḍ kifāya) on the people of every region, because answering doubts in the science of kalām depends on it.

Google Translate ↗p. 35

وَثانِيهِما ما لَيْسَ خالِيًا عَنْ تِلْكَ الضَّلالاتِ كَالمَذْكُورِ فِي كُتُبِ المُتَقَدِّمِينَ، وَهٰذا القِسْمُ هُوَ الَّذِي فِيهِ الخِلافُ.

The second is not free of those errors, like what is in the books of the early logicians; and it is this kind that is disputed.

De les

The Sullam gives three opinions on studying : Ibn al-Ṣalāḥ and al-Nawawī forbade it; some said one should learn it; and the “well-known and sound” view is that it is allowed for one of sound mind who knows the Sunna and the Book.

Al-Bājūrī makes the question precise by dividing into two. The first kind is logic free of the philosophers' errors that amount to unbelief: the logic of the Sullam itself, of al-Sanūsī's Mukhtaṣar, the , Ibn ʿArafa's Mukhtaṣar, and of al-Kātibī, al-Khūnajī and al-Taftāzānī. Here, he says, there is no disagreement: it is allowed, and even a communal obligation (farḍ kifāya) on the people of every region, because answering doubts in kalām depends on it.

The second kind is the of the early books, mixed with those philosophical doctrines; it is this kind that the three opinions are about. So the verses of the Sullam, read with al-Bājūrī, are not a warning against the Sullam: the logic it teaches is of the first kind. He adds that the obligation holds only where good minds and sound natures cannot do without it, and that is why the Companions, their Followers and the great imams did not need it.
