			[[File:01S alFaras alKamilB.png\|thumb\|Al-Faras al-Kāmil (the Complete Horse) is a horse imagined and outlined by al-Ṣūfī in his book: Kitāb al-Kawākib.]]
	The only mention of al-Faras, that I am aware of, is by al-Ṣufī in his discussion of Andromeda. He described a complete horse figure detailing the member stars. Al-Ṣufī did not indicate any connection of this figure to the Arabs. His description followed the section on the stars of the Arabs in the Greek constellation and after the table of those stars. Before outlining al-Faras, he also detailed another figure of a fish at the foot of Andromeda. Both figures were imagined by al-Ṣufī. He sometimes takes the liberty to imagine figures that he believes deserve mention, such as the Bowl between Lyra and Cygnus and the Crater between Cygnus and Aquila.

	Adams interprets the term الفرس, al-Faras, in al-Qutayba<ref>Ibn Qutayba al-Dīnawarī, Abū Muḥammad ʿAbdallah b. Muslim. 1956. ''Kitāb al-anwāʾ (fī mawāsim al-ʿArab)''.

She points out: <blockquote>Paul Kunitzsch lists the Complete Horse (al-faras al-kāmil) among the asterisms of the Arabs, but it should be noted that the adjective “complete” only makes sense in opposition to the partial image of the Greek Pegasus (1961, 56-57). Thus, if this asterism had been recognized among Arabian tribes prior to the introduction of Greek astronomy, it likely would have been known simply as the Horse (al-faras).</blockquote>Furthermore, she explicitely states that the traces of the "complete horse" prior to as-Sufi are uncertain:<blockquote>... al-Ṣūfī traces the outline of an image of a “complete Horse” (al-faras al-kāmil) that was located to the west of the Well Bucket (al-dalw; 1981, 133-134). ... but most of the stars of the Arabian Horse fall within the modern boundaries of the constellation Pegasus, the well-known Winged Horse. Neither Ibn Qutayba nor al-Marzūqī identify this asterism, so there is no way to date it prior to its appearance in the work of al-Ṣūfī.</blockquote>[[File:Horse asSufi.JPG\|thumb\|Horse drawn in Kitāb Ṣuwar al-kawākib al-thābitah (Mosul 1170)]]		Adams interprets the term الفرس, al-Faras, in al-Qutayba<ref>Ibn Qutayba al-Dīnawarī, Abū Muḥammad ʿAbdallah b.
