- 2018 June 4, “Ibn 'Arabi Sang Muhyiddin dari Murcia”, in Tirto.ID[1]:
- Hanya saja, legenda ini juga tidak bisa dibenarkan, mengingat Abu Syamah, salah satu pencatat biografi Ibn ‘Arabi paling tepercaya yang menghadiri langsung prosesi pemakamannya, tidak menyinggung peristiwa ini sama sekali.
- However, this legend cannot be verified either, considering that Abu Shamah, one of the most reliable biographers of Ibn 'Arabi who attended his funeral procession in person, did not mention this event at all.
