After reading the above citation from Ibn 'Arabi's "Futuhaat" a second time, it now appears to me that the words below..

وهو جبل عظيم طوق الله به الأرض وطوق هذا الجبل بحية عظيمة قد جمع الله رأسها إلى ذنبها بعد استدارتها بهذا الجبل
..are Ibn 'Arabi's.

He is describing the Mountain Qaf. He says, "It is a great mountain, with which Allah has wrapped the earth, and He has wrapped this mountain with a great snake, which Allah has joined its head and tail after wrapping it around this mountain."

والله أعلم
