  132.  Al-Bayhaqı¯,  Tatimmat S.iwa¯n al-h.ikma , 109. On the life and works of  ¶Ayn al-

Qud.a¯t, see his entry in  EIran , 3:140–43, by Gerhard Böwering. Al-Bayhaqı¯ says  ¶Ayn 

al-Qud.a¯t was a student of  ¶Umar al-Khayya¯m. Both were thoroughly infl uenced  by

Ibn Sı¯na¯’s ontology. See  ¶Umar al-Khayya¯m’s philosophical epistles in al-Khayya¯m, 

 Da¯nishna¯mah-yi Khayya¯mı¯ , 324–422; and in the collection of philosophical texts,  Ja¯mi ¶ 

al-bada¯ 7i   ¶,  165–93. Hamid Dabashi, who in his  Truth and Narrative , 86 (followed by Safi , 

 The Politics of Knowledge , 181), rejects this connection, sees in  ¶Ayn al-Qud.a¯t only a Sufi  

and is largely unaware of the philosophical character of much of his writings. It is quite 

possible that  ¶Ayn al-Qud.a¯t associated himself with  ¶Umar al-Khayya¯m in a similar way 

to how he associated himself with al-Ghaza¯lı¯.

Creation,” 75–85, discuss al-Ghaza¯lı¯’s ambiguity toward the  burha¯n al-s.iddı¯qı¯n .  Good-

man (p. 75) explains why, according to al-Ghaza¯lı¯, the assumption of an eternal world 

destroys Ibn Sı¯na¯’s argument from contingency.

  156.  Ibn  Qası¯,  Kita¯b Khal  ¶ al-na  ¶layn . Ibn  ¶Arabı¯ (d. 638/1240), the famous Sufi , 

wrote a commentary to this work. On Ibn Qası¯ and his book, see Goodrich,  A Sufi  Revolt 



in Portugal: Ibn Qasi and his Kita¯b khal ’   al-na ’ layn  (including an edition of the work on 

pp. 60–272); and Dreher,  Das Imamat des islamischen Mystikers Abu¯lqa¯sim Ah.mad ibn

. usain ibn Qası¯.  Goodrich (pp. 317–18) and Muh.ammad Amra¯nı¯, the editor of Ibn 

Qası¯’s  Khal ¶ al-na ¶layn , suggest that a passage close to the end of that book is copied 

from al-Ghaza¯lı¯ (?),  Ma ¶a¯rij al-Quds , 168–72. The author of this book, however, copied 

this passage himself from Avicenna (Janssens, “Le Ma ¶ârij al-quds fî madârij ma ¶rifat 

al-nafs,” 37). Hence, Ibn Qası¯ might have also adopted this passage from Ibn Sı¯na,  al-

no. 1825. See Rid.wa¯n al-Sayyid’s introduction to  al-Asad wa-l-ghawwa¯s. , 8–9. Only after 

fi nishing the work on this book I came across another manuscript of the work, MS Yale 

University, Beinecke Library, Landberg 98 (Nemoy 467), that identifi es the author as 

Abu


¯ l-Baraka¯t Nas.r ibn Sala¯ma al-Dimashqı¯. I have not been able to identify this person 

in any of the relevant bio-bibliographical sources and reference works. Brockelmann,

not e s   to   page s   8 4 – 8 7



 GAL, Suppl.  1:809, was aware of one of the MSS used in the edition but did not identify 

it as an independent work. 

  168.  Ibn  al-Muqaffa  ¶,  Kalı¯la wa-Dimna , 217–27 / 245–59. There are different recen-

sions of the Arabic text with different chapter arrangements. In Cheikho’s edition, the 

story is the tenth chapter after the introductions. In the oldest MS of the work, which 

was edited by  ¶Azza¯m and is less representative with regard to the order of the stories, 

it is the eleventh chapter. The plot of  al-Asad wa-l-ghawwa¯s.  takes many elements both 

from the stories about the lion and the bull and from Dimna’s trial in the fi rst and sec-

ond chapters of  Kalı¯la wa-Dimna , 53–124 / 43–124.  Al-Asad wa-l-ghawwa¯s.  mentions Ibn 

al-Muqaffa ¶ in its introduction (p. 40.2). Van den Bergh, “Ghazali on ‘Gratitude Towards 

God,’ ” 92, argues that al-Ghaza¯lı¯ may have been familiar with  Kalı¯la wa-Dimna .  (On 

the strength of this argument see below, p. 348, note 81.) As far as I know, al-Ghaza¯lı¯ 

nowhere mentions Ibn al-Muqaffa ¶ in his works. It is true that most MSS and editions 

of al-Ghaza¯lı¯’s  Fays.al al-tafriqa  include in its eleventh chapter a derogatory reference to 

“al-Muqaffa ¶.” That, however, is a scribal mistake that happened very early in the manu-

script tradition. The original reference is, for instance, in MS Berlin, Wetzstein II 1806, 

fol. 84b, and refers to “al-Muqanna ¶” (“the veiled one”), a religious propagandist, who ap-

peared in northern Khorasan in 160/777 and who is also referred to in Niz.a¯m al-Mulk’s 

 Siya¯sat-nama¯h , 252. (See my German translation,  Al-G

.

religiöse Toleranz , 87, 102). 

  169.   Al-Asad wa-l-ghawwa¯s. , 183.18–19. See also the very helpful German translation

8, pp. 121–22. The letter was published already during al-Ghaza¯lı¯’s lifetime. The literary 

technique of having the autobiographic narrator conducting an inner dialogue between 

himself and his soul appears fi rst in Arabic literature in Burzôye’s introduction in Ibn 

al-Muqaffa ¶,  Kalı¯la wa-Dimna , 32–33 / 27–28, and is later used in Sufi  literature. The 

passage in al-Ghaza¯lı¯ is quite reminiscent of the one in Burzôye’s introduction. 

  172.   Al-Asad wa-l-ghawwa¯s. , 70.8–9, cf. 111.2–6. 

  173.  See, for example, al-Ghaza¯lı¯,  al-Munqidh , 27.7–8; idem  Ilja¯m al- ¶awa¯mm ,  10.15–

  174.  Ibn  T.ufayl,  H.ayy ibn Yaqz.a¯n , 19.5. The metaphor of scholarship as being a 

“plunge” ( khawd. ) into something dangerous is, of course, not limited to al-Ghaza¯lı¯ and 

appears more often in Arabic religious literature.
