known as “al-Sīra al-Halabiyya”. Some relevant passages are: 1/89, 152, 175, 335, 439; 2/74, 75, 138, 142, 177, 302, 323, 443; 3/41, 81, 249, 349, 390 (Dār al-Kutub al-‘Ilmiyya edition).

Al-Zurqānī (d. 1122 AH) subsequently relied heavily on it in “Sharh al-Mawāhib al-Ladunniyya”, quoting a very large number of passages from it. Some examples are: 1/67, 233, 259, 387, … (Dār al-Kutub al-‘Ilmiyya edition).

• Besides the works mentioned above, quotations from “al-Zād” appear in works in other disciplines, demonstrating its wide circulation among authors over the centuries. The following is a brief list of some of these works (1):

• “al-Ādāb al-Shar‘iyya”, by Ibn Muflih (d. 763 AH): 1/40, 80; 2/250; 3/220. He also quoted from it elsewhere without citing it: 2/352, 445; 3/25, 88, and other passages.

• “Shifā’ al-Ālām fī Tibb Ahl al-Islām”, by Jamāl al-Dīn al-Surramarrī (d. 776 AH), one of Ibn al-Qayyim’s students. He relied extensively on “al-Zād” and sometimes mentioned his teacher by name. We have drawn attention to passages from this work in our annotations to the section on Prophetic medicine. A manuscript of the work is held in the Chester Beatty collection under no. 3150.

• “Tasliyat Ahl al-Masā’ib fī Mawt al-Awlād wa-l-Aqārib”, by al-Manbijī (d. 785 AH): pp. 13–14, where he quoted extensively from the chapter on relieving the burning pain of affliction, without explicitly naming “al-Zād”.
