Fictional Arab people South Arabian deities Nawāḍir ʾal-ʾAyk fī Maʿrifat al-Nayk (Arabic: نواضر الأيك في معرفة النيك, "The Thicket's Blooms of Gracefulness on the Art of the Fleshly Embrace")[1] is an Arabic manuscript allegedly attributed to Islamic scholar Al-Suyuti in the late fourteen century, a summary of an earlier one written by the author, Al-Wishāḥ fī Fawāʾid al-Nikāḥ.
The other chapters contain poetry (usually happens to be short) and urban tales, mostly using explicit and vulgar words[6] and some are attributed to well-known figures such as Abu Nuwas, Ibn al-Rumi, Al-Asmaʿi and Al-Ṣafadī.
Some old Arab scholars classified this kind of books as 'Ilm al-Bah ("The Art of Coition").
The book also has some chapters relating tales about homosexuals and eunuchs, but in most occasions the author tries to depict the mainstream preferences of adult men at the time.
[citation needed] However, it is indexed in some old major resources like Kâtip Çelebi's Kashf al-Ẓunūn ‘an Asāmī al-Kutub wa-al-Funūn[11] and Ismail Pasha al-Baghdadi's Hadiyat al-ʻArifīn.
