5.2 - His Second Trip to the North (606/1209-608/1211)
Likewise, we also do not know exactly when Shaykh Muhyiddin left Mecca this time, but we find him in 606/1211 in northern Syria, in Aleppo, where he wrote the Book of Transfigurations (al-Tajalliyat) and was also discussing the hadith with Shaykh Abu al-Hasan al-Bejaii, who saved him in Egypt as we mentioned above. Ibn al-Arabi then returned to Mecca through Damascus and possibly Baghdad, where he met the famous historian Ibn al-Dubaithi and his student Ibn al-Najjar.
