Notes
This book on revealing doubts has been attributed to Ibrahim bin Abi Saeed Al-Maghribi Al-Alai under the name of Evaluation of Single Medicines. At the end of the book, the author provided tables in which he mentioned medicines that have two or three names. The last substance in these tables is: Ghassan, which is dates, mentioned with the letter Ba. The purpose of this book - as the author explains in the preamble - is to know medicines and foods, their properties, benefits or harms, and what medicine is suitable for each disease according to what the patient agrees with. The book consists of: First: an introduction in which the author explains the properties of medicines and how to arrive at knowledge of their mixtures through experimentation and measurement. Then he mentions their effects, characteristics, and conditions. The author concludes this introduction by saying: “These are the general laws that the doctor must and must know regarding the individual medicines. Now we move on to talking about each of the individual medicines after arranging the tables that we have created for the medicines to make it easier for him to seek the required medicine, God Almighty willing.” Second: From tables that the author divided - in length - into six sections, the first: a translation of what is in each of the lines, and in the remaining five medicines arranged according to the letters of the dictionary, starting with the letter Alif followed by the letter B according to the well-known order (meaning the order of Abjad, Hawza...). Third: From other tables, which the author divided - casually - into sixteen sections: First: Names of individual medicines. Second: What is the medicine? Third: type of medication. Fourth: Choice if the medicine is of many types. Fifth: The mood of the medicine and its rank in terms of temperature, cold, humidity, and dryness. Sixth: The power of the medicine. Seventh: Its benefit in the head organs. Eighth: Its benefit in the chest organs. Ninth: Its benefit in the digestive system. Tenth: Its benefit in diseases that are not specific to any of the organs (leprosy, surgeries, joint pain...). Eleventh: How to use the medicine (drink, cooked, or powder... internal or external use). Twelfth: The amount of it used. Thirteenth: It is harmful to some moods, bodies, or organs. Fourteenth: Correcting it if necessary, such as using another medicine with it that will eliminate its harmful effects. Fifteenth: A replacement, meaning something that can take its place if it is missing. Sixteenth: The number sign for the mentioned medicines (i.e. the arrangement of the medicines according to the letters of the alphabet). There are copies of the book in the Rabat Public Library, 2652 (1050) and 2652 (1034).
Sample Text
The first thing to begin the speech with is... glorifying the remembrance of God... and since medicines and foods are substances for preserving human health and essential for treating bodily ailments, it is incumbent on the physician to know their essence, nature, strengths, and benefits in truth and investigate in order to treat every type of disease with the appropriate medicine for it.
