وَاعْلَمْ أَنَّ أَقْسامَ الكُلِّيِّ ثَلاثَةٌ: الأَوَّلُ ما لَمْ يُوجَدْ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ، وَالثّانِي ما وُجِدَ مِنْهُ فَرْدٌ واحِدٌ فَقَطْ، وَالثّالِثُ ما وُجِدَ مِنْهُ أَفْرادٌ، كَذا قالَ الأَقْدَمُونَ، وَجَعَلَها المُتَأَخِّرُونَ سِتَّةً، حَيْثُ قَسَمُوا الأَوَّلَ إِلَى ما يَسْتَحِيلُ وُجُودُ شَيْءٍ مِنْهُ كَالجَمْعِ بَيْنَ الضِّدَّيْنِ، وَما لا يَسْتَحِيلُ كَبَحْرٍ مِنْ زِئْبَقٍ، وَقَسَمُوا الثّانِيَ إِلَى ما يَسْتَحِيلُ وُجُودُ غَيْرِ ذٰلِكَ الفَرْدِ الَّذِي وُجِدَ مِنْهُ كَالإِلٰهِ، وَما لا يَسْتَحِيلُ كَالشَّمْسِ، وَقَسَمُوا الثّالِثَ إِلَى ما وُجِدَ مِنْهُ أَفْرادٌ غَيْرُ مُتَناهِيَةٍ …

Know that the kinds of universal are three: one of which nothing exists; one of which a single individual exists; and one of which many exist. So said the earliest; the later scholars made them six. They divided the first into what cannot exist at all, like the joining of two contraries, and what can, like a sea of mercury; the second into that of which no individual besides the one that exists can exist, like “god”, and that of which another could, like “sun”; and the third into that of which infinitely many individuals exist …

De les

The Sullam defines the as what can be understood to be shared by many, and the as what cannot. Al-Bājūrī adds that the universal is a matter of what the allows, not of what exists: a universal may have no instance at all, or only one.

So the earliest scholars counted three kinds of : one of which nothing exists, one of which a single instance exists, and one of which many exist. The later scholars made them six: what cannot exist (the joining of two contraries) and what could but does not (a sea of mercury); what has one instance and can have no other (“god”) and what has one but could have more (“sun”); and what has many instances, finite or infinite.

The five of the poem — , , , property and — are then the kinds of universal by their relation to the of what they are said of: the first three are , the last two .
