Qāʿidah fī al-Inghimās fī al-ʿAdūIbn Taimiya

Heading of the issue and its illustrative cases:
22- This discussion concerns a man—or a small group—who takes on an enemy force more than twice their own number² when such fighting brings benefit to the religion and they are almost certain they will be killed.

First scenario
23- One example is a lone man who charges a line of unbelievers and plunges into their ranks. Scholars term this inghimās fī al-ʿaduww (plunging into the enemy), for he disappears among them like an object that sinks into whatever engulfs it.

(2) The original manuscript reads “daʿifihim” (their weak), but I have adopted the reading that best fits the context; the correct form will reappear on p. 58, confirming the choice retained here.
عنوان المسألة وصور لها: ٢٢- وهذه المسألة هي في: "الرجل أو الطائفة يقاتل منهم أكثر من ضعفيهم٢ إذا كان في قتالهم منفعة للدين، وقد غلب على ظنهم أنهم يقتلون". الصورة الأولى ٢٣- كالرجل: يحمل وحده على صف الكفار ويدخل فيهم. ويسمي العلماء ذلك: "الانغماس في العدو"؛ فإنه يغيب فيهم كالشيء ينغمس فيه فيما يغمره.
٢ في الأصل: "ضعيفهم" وما أثبته هو الموافق للسياق وسيأتي ص (٥٨) على الصواب ما يؤكد ما أثبته.
