And al-Nawawi said: (The noble Abu al-Husayn Muhammad ibn 'Ali , known as Akhi Muhsin , mentioned in his book that 'Abd Allah ibn Maimun had resided in Sibat Abu Nu'ah , and he concealed himself behind Shi'ism and knowledge. When what he was harboring and concealing of denial of divine attributes, permissibility of all things, and deception and trickery became apparent, the people rose up against him.
