He did not die in 536/1141 (in the battle of the Qatwan steppe) but most probably around 460/1068 and should be counted among Avicenna's (d. 429/1037) direct students. Al-Ilāqī produced an epitome of the first book of the Canons of Medicine by Avicenna which was known under various titles: ''Kitāb al-Fuṣūl al-Ilāqiyya'' ("The Aphorisms of al-Ilāqī") and ''Kitāb al-asbāb wa-al-`alāmāt'' ("The Book of Causes and Symptoms"). Al-Ilāqī's greatly abbreviated version of the first book of the Canon was very popular, and many copies have survived.
