He wrote seven works in Arabic on various subjects, all of them listed here in the introduction and none of which was known to Broctkelmann or other Arabists and none of which was published so far. The editor and translator chose this Treatise for publication as the most interesting among his works for the mood of the age on a hotly disputed subject.

The codex which contains four manuscripts of the author's works, among them the Treatirse published here, is in Ghazi Ḫusrev-Beg's Library in Sarajevo (R-761), the manuscripts of his two other works are in the University Library in Bratislava, while one is konown by title only.
