The Reciprocity of ‘Influence’ and the Five Presences:Jāmī’s Golden Chain and Ibn al-ʿArabī’s Bezels of WisdomThis article investigates how ʿAbd al-Raḥmān Jāmī (d. 898/1492), conceptualizes the principles of influence (taʾthīr) and receptivity (taʾaththur) in Silsilat al-Dhahab through the lens of Ibn al-ʿArabī’s (d.638/1240) Fuṣūṣ al-Ḥikam and the doctrine of the Five Presences. Through an intertextual, ontological, and phenomenological approach, the study argues that Jāmī’s reception of Akbarian thought is not limited to doctrinal transmission, but constitutes a sustained reflection on the ways in which beings act upon, receive from, and are transformed by one another across the spiritual, imaginal, and corporeal realms. By examining Jāmī’s poetic treatment alongside Ibn al-ʿArabī’s metaphysical exposition, the article demonstrates that influence functions not merely as an ontological principle, but also as an ethical and spiritual framework for the cultivation and refinement of the soul.Keywords: Silsilat al-Dhahab, Fuṣūṣ al-Ḥikam, taʾthīr, taʾaththur, Five Presences.
