[191] _Mohi-eddin_, “he who makes religion revive and flourish,” is a surname borne by several Muselman doctors. The above-mentioned is _Mohi-eddin Ibn al Arabi_, born in Kordua, in Spain, of an Arabian family, called _Tayí_, in the year of the Hejira 560 (A. D. 1164). He studied in the academy of Seville, and then visited Asia Minor, Syria, and Egypt, where he heard the most distinguished Shaikhs of his time. He became the founder of a mystic school from which, among other remarkable disciples, the great _Maulana Jelal-eddin Rumí_ issued; he is called “the Pole of the mystic world.” He died in the year of the Hejira 638 (A. D. 1240), in his seventy-sixth year, and was buried at the foot of mount Cassius, near Damascus, where his sepulchral monument is still well preserved. He left thirty-three works, which are enumerated by Baron von Hammer, the illustrious historian of the Ottoman empire.――(See vol. II. pp. 490. 657 of the German work.) The Muselmans in India revere, under the name of Mohi-eddin, a saint, son of Zangui and Bibí Fatima, called also Shaikh Saddo. He lived at Sambhal, in Rohilkunt, according to others, at Amroha, in the province of Delhi, where his tomb still exists. There the devotees assemble every year, on the 11th day of the 2nd Rabiâ (the 4th month of the Arabian year) and celebrate the saint’s memory, by particular fatihas, “prayers,” addressed to him, and other acts of devotion.――(See _Mémoire sur les particularités de la Relig. Muselm. dans l’Inde, par M. Garcin de Tassy_, pp. 46-54.) [192] See hereafter an explanatory note upon Enka. [193] See page 141, note 3. [194] A work already quoted (vol. I. p. 82) composed by _Mahmud Shebisterí_. His native place was _Shebister_, distant eight parasangs (about twenty-eight miles) from Tabriz, near which place he was buried in A. D. 1320. He wrote the _Gulshen-raz_ three years before his death, as an answer to fifteen questions addressed to him by the great Shaikh Hussein, of Khorassan, who died A. D. 1318, one year after the composition of the just-mentioned most celebrated didactical work upon the doctrine of the Súfis. [195] حضرت غيب مضاف. [196] حضرت مضاف غير. [197] حضرت شهادت مطلقه. _Shahádet_, interpreted in common acceptation by “testimony, attestation, witnessing, confession, evidence,” is translated by Silvestre de Sacy, in a note of Jorjáni (see a subsequent note), by “assistance.” It takes in the terminology of Súfis, a meaning varying according to the particular opinion of their sects; thus it coincides sometimes with “presence,” whether with the qualifications of attentive expectation, whether with that of perfect intuition.
