The Book of Divine Scenes

When Shaykh Muhyiddin returned to Seville, he wrote one of his mysterious books, The Scenes of Sacred Mysteries and the Views of the Divine Lights: Kitab Mashâhid al-asrâr al-qudsiyya wa-ma?âli’ al-anwâr al-ilâhiyya (RG 432), which is a treatise he wrote to his Tunisian companion, Shaykh Abu Muhammad Abdul-Aziz al-Mahdawi.

There are many commentaries on this book, including an explanation by Sit-al-Ajam Bint al-Nafis al-Baghdadiya, an illiterate woman, who says in the introduction, which she finished in 852/1448 in Aleppo, that she saw Shaykh Muhyiddin in a dream and asked her to explain this book [Explanation of the Sacred Scenes, Sitlal-Ajam Bint al-Nafis, edited by Bakri Aladdin and Suad al-Hakim, the French Scientific Institute for Arab Studies - Damascus, 2004, p. 5.]
