Notes Treatise on prophetic medicine (Prophetic Medicine) by Muḥammad al-Mahdawī ibn ‘Alī ibn Ibrāhīm al-Ṣubunrī (Muhammad al-Mahdawi ibn Ali ibn Ibrahim al-Sabnari, d. 1412). The author's name, which does not appear in this manuscript, is disputed and his nisba is also reported as Ṣanawbarī (coniferous, GAL II, 189; GALS II, 252; Ullmann, This medicine is Islam , 188) and Ṣuburnī (Be patient, Hamarneh, Catalog of Arabic Manuscripts on Medicine and Pharmacy at the British Library , 221). The treatise is often falsely ascribed to Jalāl al-Dīn al-Suyūṭī (Jalāl al-Dīn al-Suyuti, d. 1505). The title is mentioned on f. 60v, line 12-13. The treatise is followed by a note on alchemy, which cites Jābir ibn Ḥayyān (Jābir ibn Hayyan, f. 74r-v). Begins (f. 60v, lines 2-5): Praise be to God, who invented existing things out of nothing and brought them into existence Beings and most knowledgeable in the wisdom of active natures and divisions of bodies Combinations are of four different natures and the extent of benefits and harms Diseases, health, and death... Ends (f. 74r, lines 5-8): ... To wipe out urine, dill and wheat flour are taken And gum arabic and red sugar, equal parts, all beat and boil With oil until it becomes a paste, he eats it every morning and evening As much as a hazelnut, it is beneficial and proven, and God knows best what is correct Colophon Section at the end of a manuscript text. (f. 74r, lines 9-10): The book was written with help God Almighty
