This is a book of aphorisms written by Ahmad ibn Muhammad Ibn Ata
Allah al-Iskandari (d. 1309), here called Ibn Atallah, the third
sheikh of the Shadhili Sufi order. He was born and grew up in
Alexandria, then lived and died in Cairo. Ibn Atallah is well known
for compressing large thoughts into a small space. The shape of the
thought is smooth, small, dense, and hard. He chose the form of
aphorisms to express himself because he wanted above all to spread
the word of what he believed in, and indeed, many of these
statements could be likened to a pebble that one might carry in
one's pocket.
