Kitāb al-Safīnah al-Nūḥīyah fī al-sakīnah al-rūḥīyah
A third conventional placeholder name, extending the example of individually knowing souls.
If every part is a knower, then there are knowing souls, like the soul of Zayd and ʻAmr and Khālid — whereas our discourse is of a single knower and a single knowing of the known.
And the ant and the camel imagine a need in the future and so store up, while they are ignorant and do not distinguish between the property of Zayd and of Khālid, nor between the impure and the pure.
Kitāb mīzān al-ḥaqq fī al-manṭiq
A named person in the illustration that denying one predicate of a subject settles nothing about unconnected predicates.
8 — The absence of one matter from a thing does not require the absence of another matter that has no connection with the first, nor its establishment — as when we are told, Khālid is not in Bayrūt.
