Table of Contents

[18] Mir-át ez-Zemán (MS. in my possession)—a great history whose author lived in the thirteenth century of our era. See also Ḳur. v. 65.

[19] Mir-át ez-Zemán. Ḳur. lv. 14. The word which signifies "a smokeless fire" has been misunderstood by some as meaning "the flame of fire:" El-Jóheree (in the Ṣiḥáḥ) renders it rightly; and says that of this fire was the Sheyṭán (Iblees) created.

[20] Ḳur. xv. 27; and Commentary of the Jeláleyn.

[21] Ḳur. xxvii. 10; and xxviii. 31; and the Jeláleyn.

[23] ´Ikrimeh, from Ibn-´Abbás, in the Mir-át ez-Zemán.

[24] Mujáhid, from the same, ibid.

[25] Hence the appellations of "Jinn" and "Jánn."

[26] Tradition from the Prophet, in the Mir-át ez-Zemán.

[27] Ibid.

[28] The worship here spoken of is prostration, as an act of obeisance to a superior being.

[32] Ḳur. vii. 11; and xxxviii. 77.

[33] Mir-át ez-Zemán.

[34] El-Ḥasan El-Baṣree, in the Mir-át ez-Zemán. My interpolation of the word "other" is required by his opinion before stated.

[41] Modern Egyptians, ch. x.

[42] Ibid.

[43] Sale, in a note on chap. xv. of the Ḳur-án.

[44] So I translate the word "khaṭṭ;" but in Es-Suyooṭee's Nuzhet el-Mutaämmil wa-Murshid el-Mutaähhil, section 7, I find, in its place, the word "weshm," or "tattooing;" and there are some other slight variations and omissions in this tradition as there quoted.

[56] Ibn-El-Wardee [fourteenth century].

[57] Its name is written differently in two different MSS. in my possession.

[58] El-Ḳazweenee, and Mir-át ez-Zemán.

[59] El-Ḳazweenee. In my MS. of Ibn-El-Wardee, I find the name written "Dahlán." He mentions an island called by this name, in the Sea of ´Omán; and describes its inhabitants as cannibal Sheyṭáns, like men in form, and riding on birds resembling ostriches. There is also an inferior class of the Jinn, termed El-Ghowwáṣah, that is, the Divers or Plungers in the seas.

[60] El-Ḳazweenee, in the khátimeh [or epilogue] of his work.

[61] Mir-át ez-Zemán.

[62] Ibn-El-Wardee.
