《自发性与急于遵行的区别》
The Difference Between Spontaniety And Quick Observance
自发性与迅速的观察力都源于同一件事,即敏捷的理解力。然而,自发性往往伴随着其结果而出现,例如那位妇人对欧麦尔说,她的丈夫夜间礼拜、白天斋戒;又如那位妇人把苹果送给先知ﷺ,先知ﷺ将其分成两半,把其中一半给了她。在那位向欧麦尔申诉的妇人的例子中,与欧麦尔同行的那位贝都因人理解到她是在抱怨自己的丈夫,而并非在称赞他。
Spontaniety and quick observance both come from one matter, which is quick understanding. However, spontaniety comes together with its results, such as when the woman said to Omar that her husband stood the night praying and fasted the day; also when the woman gave the apple to the Messenger and he divided it into two parts and gave her one part. In the example of the woman that complained to Omar, the Bedouin who was with Omar understood that she complained about her husband and did not praise him.
这种理解认为这是抱怨而非赞美,属于即兴反应。至于那位把苹果交给圣人的女子,她的用意是想了解月经的事,因此圣人ﷺ领会了她的意图并回答了她。这个例子属于敏锐的观察,而非即兴反应。这是因为圣人ﷺ从苹果中领会到她指的是月经,所以这是敏锐的观察,只不过它是建立在迅速理解的基础之上。
The understanding that this is a complaint and not praise is spontaniety. As for the woman who gave the apple to the Messenger , she intended to know about menstruation, so the Messenger understood her purpose and answered her. This example is quick observance and not spontaniety. This is because the Messenger understood from the apple that she meant menstruation, so this was quick observance, though it was based on quick understanding.
快速观察是快速理解说话者或行为者的意图,而即时领会(spontaniety)则是快速理解说话者和行为者的意图,但两者有所不同。在即时领会中,人从言语中理解说话者的意图。然而,言语可能有多种含义,如果理解了其中正确的含义,这便是即时领会。而快速观察则是说话者或行为者将其言语隐晦化,尽管他所指的是某一特定含义,而你却能把握住它。
Quick observance is to understand the purpose of the speaker or the doer quickly, whereas spontaniety is to understand the purpose of the speaker and the doer quickly but with a difference. In spontaniety, one understands the purpose of the speaker from the speech. However, the speech may have many meanings, if one understood the correct meaning then this is spontaniety. While quick observance is that the speaker or the doer obscures his speech, while he aims at one particular meaning that you grasp.
因此,你对他的理解是“快速领会”(al-fahm al-sari‘),而不是“即兴”(al-badaha)。也就是说,话语或行为会被迅速理解;“即兴”与“快速领会”有共同之处,但二者又有所区别。如果说话者或行动者的目的只有一件事,而他的言辞或行为含混不清,那么这就是“快速领会”。然而,如果他所要表达的是多个事项,而这些事项被他含混地表达出来,那么你应当使用“即兴”而非“快速领会”。因此,言辞或行为的含混会导致“快速领会”,而目的的含混则导致“即兴”。
Thus, your understanding of him is quick observance and not spontaniety. Thus, the speech or the action is understood quickly; spontaniety and quick observance share that aspect, but they then depart from each other. If the purpose of the speaker or the doer is only one thing, but he obscures his words or action, then this is quick observance. However, when he means many matters, but he obscures these matters, then you should use spontaniety and not quick observance. Thus, obscuring the speech or the action leads to quick observance, while obscuring the purpose leads to spontaniety.
两件事——即应变(spontaneity)与敏捷的领会(quick observance)——都只能以敏捷的思维为前提而存在。因此,二者只可能存在于聪慧之人身上。然而,这种敏捷的理解只会导向一种结果:要么导向敏捷的领会,要么导向应变。如果晦涩或含糊之处在于言语或行为本身,那就是敏捷的领会;如果晦涩或含糊之处在于言语或行为的目的,那就是应变。
The two matters, spontaniety and quick observance, can’t exist except with quick thinking. Therefore, both can only exist in intelligent people. However, this quick understanding only leads to one thing, either to quick observance or to spontaniety. If the obscurity or vagueness were in the speech or the action itself, it would be quick observance. If the obscurity or vagueness were in the purpose of the speech or action, it would be spontaniety.
因此,这位妇人在向欧麦尔讲述她丈夫的事情时,隐晦了她的目的,使之含糊不清。而那位把苹果送给圣人ﷺ的妇人,隐晦了行为,却没有隐晦目的。因此,那位妇人与圣人ﷺ之间的事情属于快速的遵从,而那位妇人与欧麦尔之间的事情则属于自发性。这就是隐晦目的(从而成为自发性)与隐晦言辞或行为(从而成为快速的遵从)之间的区别。所期望的是培养自发性,而不是快速的遵从。
Therefore, in her statement to Omar about her husband, the woman obscured her purpose and made it vague. While the woman who gave an apple to the Messenger obscured the action but did not obscure the purpose. Therefore, the action regarding the woman with the Messenger was quick observance, while the action regarding the woman with Omar was spontaniety. This is the difference between making the purpose vague, so it would be spontaniety, and making the speech or the work vague, so it would be quick observance. What is hoped for is the development of spontaniety and not quick observance.
