Suyuti withdrawal from public life
In his Tarikh Ibn Misr Iyas indicates ( The history of Egypt ) that Suyuti, when he had reached his 40th year of life, henceforth the human community and shunned the side of the Nile retreated to the gardens of al - Miqyas. Ibn Ilyas writes:
"He shunned his former colleagues as if he had never known. In his seclusion there he wrote most of his nearly 600 books and treatises. Wealthy believers and princes visited him and offered him money and gifts, but he refused. Even the repeated invitation of the Ottoman sultan, to come to him, he struck out. He once said to an envoy of the Sultan, 'Come never back again with a gift to us, because the truth is that Allah has all these needs to put an end to us [ for gifts ] .' "
