Ḥāshiyat al-Bājūrī ʿalā matn al-Sullam, with al-Anbābī's taqrīr in the margin, Cairo 1324/1906 baskısının Arapça metninden alıntı

(قَوْلُهُ ما احْتَمَلَ إِلَخْ) ما واقِعَةٌ عَلَى اللَّفْظِ الشّامِلِ لِجَمِيعِ الأَلْفاظِ، فَهِيَ جِنْسٌ، وَخَرَجَ بِقَوْلِهِ احْتَمَلَ الصِّدْقَ ما لَمْ يَحْتَمِلْهُ كَزَيْدٍ وَعَمْرٍو وَكَغُلامِ زَيْدٍ، وَبِقَوْلِهِ لِذاتِهِ ما احْتَمَلَهُ لا لِذاتِهِ بَلْ لِلازِمِهِ كَالإِنْشاءاتِ مِنَ الأَمْرِ وَالنَّهْيِ وَغَيْرِهِما، فَإِنَّ قَوْلَكَ: اسْقِنِي مَثَلًا وَإِنِ احْتَمَلَ الصِّدْقَ لٰكِنْ لا لِذاتِهِ، بَلْ لِما اسْتَلْزَمَهُ مِنْ قَوْلِكَ: أَنا طالِبٌ لِلسَّقْيِ مِنْكَ.

(His words “what admits …”): “what” applies to the utterance, covering all utterances, so it is the genus. “Admits truth” leaves out what does not admit it, like “Zayd”, “ʿAmr” or “Zayd's servant”; and “of itself” leaves out what admits it not of itself but through what it implies, like performatives — commands, prohibitions and the like. “Give me to drink”, for instance, though it admits truth, does so not of itself but through what it implies: “I ask you for a drink.”

وَدَخَلَ بِهٰذا القَيْدِ ما قُطِعَ بِصِدْقِهِ أَوْ بِكَذِبِهِ؛ فَالأَوَّلُ أَخْبارُ اللهِ وَأَخْبارُ رُسُلِهِ وَالأَخْبارُ المَعْلُومُ صِدْقُها بِضَرُورَةِ العَقْلِ نَحْوُ: الواحِدُ نِصْفُ الاثْنَيْنِ، وَالثّانِي كَأَخْبارِ مُسَيْلِمَةَ الكَذّابِ فِي دَعْواهُ النُّبُوَّةَ.

And this restriction lets in what is known for certain to be true or false: the first are the reports of God and of His messengers, and reports whose truth reason knows immediately, like “One is half of two”; the second are like the reports of Musaylima the Liar in his claim to prophethood.

Ders

The Sullam defines the as “what admits truth of itself”. Al-Bājūrī reads the word by word. “What” refers to the and is the . “Admits truth” leaves out single words like “Zayd” and phrases like “Zayd's servant”, which are neither true nor false.

“Of itself” leaves out performatives — commands, prohibitions and the like — which admit truth only through something they imply: “Give me to drink” implies “I ask you for a drink”, which can be true or false, but the command itself is neither.

The same restriction lets in reports known for certain to be true or false. A report of God or of His messengers, or a truth of reason like “one is half of two”, cannot be false; the claims of Musaylima the Liar cannot be true. Yet each admits truth and falsehood of itself, as a sentence; what settles it is something outside the sentence.
