His death<\/strong><\/h2>\n

During his last days, Ibn Al-Nafees became seriously ill after he reached eighty years. He stayed in bed for six days. Some physicians advised him to drink some wine, claiming that he would recover. Ibn Al-Nafees refused to drink even a drop and said: I will not meet Allah (i.e. die) with a drop of wine in my stomach. He died on Friday the 21st of Thul-Qi’dah 687 A.H., the 17th of December 1288. Before his death, he made a will that all his possessions, money, books, and house should be allocated to the Mansoori Hospital as an endowment.<\/p>\n
