رسالة في حق الاحتراز عن الوباء

Treatise on how to escape from plague, with a religious tone, aiming to demonstrate that it is a religious duty and a rational behaviour (ḥukm sharʻī wa-qānūn ʻaqlī) to keep away from places where there is plague (see preamble, fol. 2b). This short treatise was written after the author had fled from plague in Cairo on his way back from the pilgrimage in 917/1511, raising criticism from several ʻulamāʼ from Damascus and Aleppo (see preamble, fol. 2a). Ahlwardt, W. Verzeichnis der arabischen Handschriften, no. 6371 gives a detailed description of contents. 23 leaves: paper ; 205 x 120 (148 x 60) mm. bound to 205 x 120 mm.
