وَدونَك في شرح الوقوف وإنه

لخمسة أقسام على النسق أَعقبا

And in explaining the stops, he

Has five categories in order I will follow

وقوف سؤال وهو مما تخالفت

أَولو الحق فيه وادعى الحق أَصوبا

A stop for questioning, which is what the people of truth

Disagreed about, each claiming more rightness

وقد أَوجبوا فيه التخطي وأَشرعوا

به اللعن حتى كلهم فيه أَطنبا

They made obligatory to skip it and made

Cursing through it permissible, until all excessively did so

وأَما وقوف للضلال فإنه

وقوف دخيل العقل فيه تذبذبا

As for a stop due to misguidance, it

Is the stop of one whose intellect in it wavers,

من المحدث الجاني وعن من يواله

وعن من تبرا منه للوقوف أَو حبا

Of the heretical innovator and whoever aligns with him

And whoever absolves himself of it, whether stopping or in love

كذلك أَشكال الوقوف فإنه

إِذا الفئتان للقتال تألبا

Likewise the ambiguous stops, for when

The two parties prepare for battle

أَو الرجلان أَحدثا فتخالعا

ولم تدر أَصل الحدث حتى تصوبا

Or the two men innovate then disagree

And you do not know the origin of the innovation until you correct

وأَما وقوف للسلامة أَن تَرى

وليّك يأتي ما جهلت ويركبا

And a stop for safety, that you see

Your guardian coming with what you did not know and rides

فبعض رأي دينا وقوفك بعد ذا

وبعض رآه وهو رأي تهذبا

So some of the view is religion in your sight after this

And some saw it, and it is the view you should cultivate

وأَما وقوف الدين فالناس كلهم

وقوفك دينا عنهم كي ترى النبا

And the stop for religion, all people

Your stop from them is religion so you can see the prophethood

فمن بان منه فعل شر فعادِه

ومن بان منه الرشد والخير فاحبِبا

So whoever shows evil from it, oppose him

And whoever shows righteousness and good from it, then love
