The Difference Between Ibn al-Arabi and Ibn Arabi

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Is the student of Abu Hamid al-Ghazali Ibn al-Arabi, or Ibn Arabi?
The Shaykh:
Ibn al-Arabi with the definite article (al-), and I am still looking at you. Do you want Ibn al-Arabi, or do you want Ibn Arabi who is said to have studied under al-Ghazali? That is far-fetched.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
I think there are time differences between them, yes.
