Notlar	Charming anecdotes on admonition regarding honourable people with physical blights (al-Nukat al-ziraf fi al-maw'iza bi-dhawi al-`ahat min al-ashraf), by Jar Allah ibn Fahd (1486-1547). This is the only surviving copy of Jar Allah's third revision (in 1543) of his controversial book of anecdotes about important and honourable people with various disabilities and other physical conditions and characteristics. The Arabic term `ahat refers not only to physical disabilities inherited or caused by disease or injury (such as blindness and paralysis) but also physical conditions such as baldness. Historically, there are different genres of Arabic literature dealing with `ahat, including legal judgements, consolation and humour. In this case, the author caused great offence in his home city of Mecca with the first version of this book, in which he named several contemporary luminaries as bald. He was immediately judged of malicious ghiba (backbiting) which is forbidden in Islam, and copies of his book were destroyed. He was obliged to seek further legal opinions to defend himself from the 1541 fatwa. In this third version (dated 1543), Jar Allah pointed out that he had now omitted the bald Meccans, but only because they were not honourable people. Codex, ink and colour on paper, 59 folios, Arabic text in naskh script, al-Nukat al-ziraf fi al-maw'iza bi-dhawi al-`ahat min al-Ashraf, by Jar Allah Muhammad ibn `Abd al-`Aziz ibn `Umar ibn Taqi al-Din Muhammad ibn Najm al-Din Muhammad ibn Abi'l-Khayr Muhammad ibn Muhammad `Abdullah ibn Fahd al-Hashimi al-Makki al-Shafi`i (1486-1547), on the physical disabilities and conditions suffered by honourable people, with four sections, a foreword (on earlier works in the same genre; fols. 2r-3v), a longer introduction (on Islamic discourses on disability (`ahat), and then defending the author's 1541 version from contemporary accusations of backbiting (ghiba), which is forbidden in Islamic law; fols. 9r-16r), chapter 1 on disabilities in general and important historic figures (fols. 16r-38r), chapter 2 on specific conditions (including losing one eye, squinting, baldness, lameness, and leprosy; fols. 38v-53v), and conclusion (on the rewards and blessings granted to disability sufferers; fols. 54r-59r), colophon signed by the author, Barabir valley, Mecca, Arabia (modern Saudi Arabia), dated Jumada I 950H, August 1543
