UDK 1 Ibn Arebi
1 Ibn Rušd
Ibn Rušd je najpoznatija osoba među andaluzijskim filozofima s kojima se susreo Ibn Arebi. Godine 577/1182, kada je Ibn Arebi bio dijete bez malja po licu, prema njegovoj vlastitoj izjavi, susreo se sa Ibn Rušdom (um. 595/1198), kadijom iz Kordobe, i razgovarao s njim putem simbola i alegorija. Ibn Rušd je lično tražio taj susret. Ibn Rušdu, koji je rekao „da“, nakon što su iskazali poštovanje jedan prema drugom, Ibn Arebi je također odgovorio sa „da.“ Osjetivši da se Ibn Rušd zbog toga osjeća sretnim jer je mislio da ga razumije, Ibn Arebi je ovaj put odgovorio sa „ne.“ Shvativši veličinu duhovnog stanja mladog mudraca, Ibn Rušd ga je pohvalio i iskazao poštovanje. Ovaj susret je veoma važan u smislu otkrivanja razlike između filozofskog i mističnog znanja. Nasuprot Ibn Rušda, koji tvrdi da se pravo znanje može steći razumom, Ibn Arebi je zagovarao da se istinsko znanje može steći ne samo umom, već posebno putem kešfa ili otkrovenja.

The Encounter between Ibn Arabi and Ibn Rushd
Abstract
Ibn Rushd (Averroes) was the most prominent Andalusian philosopher whom Ibn Arabi met. In 577/1182, when Ibn Arabi was still a beardless youth, according to his own account, he met Ibn Rushd (d. 595/1198), the judge of Cordoba, and conversed with him through symbols and allegories. Ibn Rushd himself had requested this meeting.
Upon exchanging greetings, Ibn Rushd said “Yes”, to which Ibn Arabi also replied “Yes”. Sensing Ibn Rushd's satisfaction at what he presumed to be mutual understanding, Ibn Arabi then responded with “No”. Recognizing the profound spiritual state of the young sage, Ibn Rushd praised and honored him.
This encounter is highly significant in revealing the distinction between philosophical and mystical knowledge. In contrast to Ibn Rushd, who asserted that true knowledge is attainable through reason, Ibn Arabi maintained that genuine knowledge is acquired not solely by intellect but particularly through kashf (spiritual unveiling or revelation).
