Note 265 — Chapter V · THE MOST PROMINENT FIGURES IN HEBREW MYTHOLOGY.
R. (Russell) Martineau translation
Muslim’s Collection of Traditions, edition with Commentary, Cairo 1284, V. 118. The commentator, Al-Nawawî, puts the name al-ʿÂḳib in combination with another name of the Prophet of identical meaning, viz. al-Muḳfî. The name al-ʿÂḳib occurs elsewhere also as a proper name, e.g. as the name of a friend of the poet al-Aʿsha (Kitâb al-aġânî, VI. 73).
