love of ones homeland is something that is universal to all people and is prevalent among all neighbors. however it is more prevalent in turkey and is more deeply rooted therein because of the special similarity and suitability the equality of resemblance and the equivalence of composition. do you not see that alabdi says may god fill the lands with love of homelands and that ibn alzubayr said people are not more content with their homelands than any of their categories and that omar ibn alkhattab may god be pleased with him said had it not been for the dispersion of the desires of the servants god would not have filled the lands and that jumah aliyadbah said had it not been for what god commanded the servants to do regarding the desert of the lands no valley would have been enough for them nor would any provision have been sufficient for them.
ومحبة الوطن شيء شامل لجميع الناس، وغالب على جميع الجيرة. ولكن ذاك في الترك أغلب، وفيها أرسخ؛ لما معها من خاصة المشاكلة والمناسبة، واستواء الشبه، وتكافي التركيب. ألا ترى أن العبدي يقول عمر الله البلدان بحب الأوطان ، وأن ابن الزبير قال ليس الناس بشيء من أقسامهم أقنع منهم بأوطانهم ، وأن عمر بن الخطاب رضي الله عنه قال لولا تفرق أهواء العباد لما عمر الله البلاد ، وأن جمعة الإيادبة قالت لولا ما أوصى الله به العباد من قفر البلاد، لما وسعهم واد ولا كفاهم زاد .
