- Notes
- A mes̱nevī of 95 couplets narrating a miracle performed by Prophet Muḥammad which leads to the conversion of fourty infidels. With the grace of God, a deer hunted by the infidels begins to speak, is set free to go nurse her young, and comes back to the presence of Muḥammad and the infidels together with a trap in which she is caught. The mes̱nevī ends with counsels against obeying one’s base self (nefs). The work is found in mecmū‘as containing other short folk stories in mes̱nevī form, mostly belonging to 14th and 15th century authors. This supports the claim that it was a popular work of collective reading in the early Ottoman period.
