books, according to the subjects. Their order in the
present copy differs from the list of Tust. Besides,
some portions ore in a strange state of confusion, of
which the owner of this copy must have beeu conscious,
and which he tried to conceal by spoiling the text
at the end and at the beginning of several books with
ornaments. 3 Owing to the identity of their first words,
fojl. 287 sqq. and 555 sqq. have been misplaced, but
they cannot be re-arranged properly, in the present con-

He then proceeds to relate at great length the claims
and arguments of 'All, and subsequently those of the
other Imams in succession. Each of them is repre-
sented as pleading his cause in speeches and disputa-

work of this author, with the title -j^l t_J^, is

is an abridgment of that work, with additions by
the author. It tries to solve the discrepancies be-

and the Koran. The discrepant traditions are intro-

A Commentary on a work on Hanaflte Law, im-
perfect at the beginning, and without title. The
author of the original work is only alluded to
by the words i m Ji M a*b\ aUDI .wJI; however, from
ocoaeional quotations of other works, especially his
j^jull, 1 he appears to be Sniyid Ndsir al-din Abu'l-
Kasim Muhammad b. Ytisuf Samarkand! Madanl (d.

J-»UL Cf. H. Kh. vi. 291; Fleischer, Cot. Lips.
477 sq. ; nnd Aumer, Hdss. Miinoh. 94.
The author of the commentary is the well-known
Abu'l-barakat 'Abdallah b. Ahmad Nasafi (d. a.h. 711).
This commentary is described by H. Kh. (I.e.), who
also gives an abstract of the epilogue. It is probably
entitled ^Lea*^]. The chief authority of Nasail
is Badr al-dln Kardarl (Muhammad b. Mahmud),
commonly called Khwaharzadah (d. a.h. 651), the
nephew of that Kordor) (ShamB al-a'immah Mu-
hammad b. 'Abd al-sattar, d. a.h. 642) who is men-
tioned in the epilogue. 3 Very likely, therefore, the
" commentary by a disciple of Kardarl," subsequently
noted by H. Kh., 4 is not different from the present
work. Cf. Fliigel, Class. 323.
Only the first words of the passages commented are
given (with <0y), but the books, chapters, and sections
of the original work are marked throughout. Hence
it would appear that the Leipzig MS. is incomplete.

The beginning of this MS. (20 foil.) has been

destroyed by "white-ants. Still, the MS. is valuable
enough, as it is written in a very good hand, though
without diacritical points, and, as far as con be made
out from the conclusion, seems to have been transcribed
by the author himself. Unfortunately, the passage is

of the Khalif 'All, 1 in Eabi' I., 516, eto. The Isnftd
goes back to Mutawakkil, who gives the following
account of the origin of the book. He was return-
ing to Khurae&n from the pilgrimage, when he met
with Yahya b. Zaid b. 'All, and received from him
a copy of these prayers, on the authority of his father,
Zaid the Martyr. Subsequently, after Yahya had
been killed (a.b. 126), he went again to Madlnah,
where he showed his copy to Ja'far Sadik, who found
it identical with a book in his possession, which had
been written by his father, Muhammad b. 'All. From
this Mutawakkil took a copy, Ja'far himself dictating.
The book consisted originally of seventy-five chapters,
but eleven were lost by him, so that he only kept some
sixty ohapters (Lb .j^-awj Uli \$*t uu&A»-,).
With the exception of the last statement, the Borne
story is given with another Isnad, which, in Ibn
Mutahhar, joins that of Tust (I.e.). Aocording to this
version, the book contained only fifty-four prayers,

which are enumerated, and are exactly the same as
those found in the present MS. There is, however,
an appendix (fol. 176), which was offered by several
M8S. It is introduced by the first Isnad, and contains
seven more prayers, and formulte for each day of
the week.

A Sht'ah book on religious duties, especially prayer,

of the Shl'ites are prayer, almsgiving, fasting, pilgri-
mage, and holy war. The author begins with prayer,
as that duty which is to bo performed every day,
and treats of it circumstantially in a separate part,
<U-Ulj ajJI cjIjLc. This part is introduced by
a troatise on ablution and other preparations for
prayer.
Tho second part (fol. 100».), A^J\ Cj\jLc £jL«j,
treats briefly of the remaining duties, according to
their occurrence in tho course of the year. It begins
with Bamndan, tho time for fasting, and concludes
with Bajab. Tho rites of tho pilgrimage arc mentioned
under Dhu'l-hijjiih.

is made for the former to the author's X>1^\ and t y^-i.\ ' ,
and for tho latter, to his -.U^\ .'
Tho work concludes (fol. 213t».) with three sets of
prayers, recommended for special times, viz. morning
and evening prayers, prayers for each day of the week,
and such for the twelve hours of the day. For parti-
culars the author refers to his j-Lxa^l .
There are added (fol. 231) a charm, rules for the
Nauruz, and a proyor.
According to the colophon (fol. 232t>.), this copy was
transcribed from that of Muhammad b. MansQr b.
Ahmad b. Idris . . . 'Ijll, which had been written in
A.n. 570, and had been collated with the author's own
copy. It is well written and emended. It has also been
collated with the copy of one ^iddl ^1 .
At the end is a prayer, styled jf£i I _li*.» , and asoribed
to 'All. It is in a different hand, and is dated a.h. 1013.

fol. 20) is written in a legible Hasta'llk hand, though
almost without diacritical points, and with no dis-
tinction of text and commentary, was transcribed during
the author's lifetime. It bears corrections, additions,
and some notes by the author (marked with <uL> <U*

HUM and others, against his exaggerations and false
imputations.

and Abbasides, etc He then proceeds to say that he had
observed that, under the constant oppression to which
they were hitherto exposed, many weak Shl'ahs had of
late become doubtful as to their right of cursing the
Snnnites. He therefore intends to prove, not only from
the Eoran, but even from their own traditions, that
they are liable to be oursed.
The work consists of an introduction (JUjjU), on the
meaniug of cursing, and of seven sections, whioh oontain
arguments in support of the above assertion. Five of
them refer to passages of the Koran, one to the Sunnah,
and the serenth to the Shl'ah (Im&mryah) tradition.

stantial account of tho origin of both works. He states,
first, that he had already written several other works on
theology (specified in a note on the margin as c_jb£
j*~Y u}t**> iits^v &t** > etc.). He then proceeds to
rejate that, a.h, 877, he made the pilgrimage to Makkah,
and after it visited ^JJ (i.e. MadJnah, according to a
marginal note). He then went into 'Irak, and visited
the tombs of the Imams there, and finally travelled into
Khurasan, in order to pay his devotions to the tomb of
'A li ;^! da > at Mashhad. On his way thither he com-
menced the treatise ^ the request of a
travelling companion, and completed it after his arrival
at Mashhad. Having subsequently made there the
acquaintance of a distinguished Saiyid and descendant
of 'All Rida, named (Jhiyath al-dln Muhsin b, Muham-
mad, he was induced by him to write a commentary on
the said treatise. He completed this commentary, as
we learn from the conclusion, on Wednesday, 17th
Dhu'l-hijjah, 878, at the mansion of the Saiyid.

where the author lived with Saiyid Muhsin, the same
whom he mentions in the preface of XI., where he

and third meetings took place in the mansion of the said
Saiyid, the Becond on the J^JI *«j, or 10th Dhu'l-
hijjah, in the Academy of Sultan Shahrukh Mirza.
The altercation chiefly turned on the Imamate and the
Chalifate, and concluded with the defeat of the oppo-

made up hiB mind to become a Shi'uh.

first, the " mantle" of his Shaikh, Jamal al-dln Yusuf
'Abbasi Kassar, had, among others, passed through the

Persian version of this work is mentioned in Stewart's
Catal. 88. See regarding the author, Garcin de Tassy,
Mem, sur la relig. musulm. 46 (according to the
Jrd'ith-i'Jfajjfil).
The author was a descendant of Khwajah Farld
al-din 'Attar. He gives his name in the preface as
follows (fol. 3t>.) : AjjA, «. . ^jJI Jm. ^ j^«

a long time the pupil of the great Shaikh Zuhur
(al-din) Hajji Hudur, and subsequently retired for
more than thirteen years (?) to the mountains of
j\~s?\ <UJj, where he compiled the present work. At
an ensuing meeting with his Shaikh, he offered it
to him, and met with his highest approbation. He
was then only twenty years of age (!). He went
afterwards to Gujarat, where his work gained great
popularity. At the request of many students, he made
a new and better arranged edition of it, — the present
one. He completed this a.h. 956, being then fifty
years old.
The five parts (j»>)>-) of this work, whioh represent
the gradual progress of the Sufi, are enumerated in
H. Kh. They are inscribed here, more fully, as follows :

This is the author's rough copy, consisting origi-
nally of two volumes. The earlier portion of the first
volume, however, is lost. It begins now with the
eighteenth quire (A-»l^), which has been insoribed
JliM 'jsl\ . The first artiole is 'Alt b. Aflah (no. 487,
ed. "Wiistenfeld). It ends with the thirty-second quire,

the last portion being also lost. The second volume
(fol. 161), JliM .xLs^l, has a particular title, written
by the author himself. It begins with the fourth
fascicle of the original work (al-Mu'izz = no. 737, ed.
"Wiistenf.), and contains the rest of the book. It con-
sists of twenty-three quires, but it has now several
defects, especially in the twelfth and thirteenth quires ;
some leaves of the latter nre also misplaced in binding.
The author states at the beginning of the second
volume, that he began it on Sunday, 2nd Dhu'l-hijjoh,
701, at Balbec, and he addB in the postscript (fol. 381t>.
£\ Aj M t_JU Ar! rf ^>y* IfcJlS { j^\ csJj), that
he continued his work at Damascus, where he arrived

At the end is written the epilogue of Ibn TThnllilr an, to
which the author added, in a second postscript, a short
memoir of his father and an account of his own work.

from numerous kindred works, and especially from the
Talakdt of Ibn nl-Salab (d. a.h. 643) and Tifllsl ('Omar
b. Bundar, d. a,h. 672). Tho latter he incorporated
wholly in his own work. Although he also terms it
Talolat, it ia not arranged chronologically (or rather

with a succession of Tamanls, who are mentioned in
this place, according to the initial of their native
country, although their common names are different.

An abridgment of an old work on Geography, of
which two other copies are mentioned in Cat. Bibl.
Sprengcr. 2, and Cat. Mus. Brit. 182 (cf. Add. et Corr.
772). As is already stated there, the original work
was written near tho end of the reign of the Khalif al-
Hu'tadid billah (d. a.h. 289) ; and Sprenger's assertion,
that wo have here an abstract of the .jjjjjl c_>lii
of Idn Ai-FAxin BZamadanJ (Abu Bakr Ahmad b.
Muhammad b. Ishak, who flourished at the end of the
third century), is especially confirmed by a comparison
of the passages quoted from that author in Yakut's
Dictionary. Cf. Wiistenfeld's edition, i. v, and tho
index, vi. 300 ; and also Sprenger's Post- und Reise-
routen des Orients, p. xvii.
Sprenger is, however, wrong, in ascribing this
abstract to one Skatrl or Shartl; he rend i^j\&±>\
or iJjjiM\ by mistake, instead of ^jjJjJVi,* and
'All b. Ja'far b. Ahmad Shaizorl (from Shaizar in
Syria) was merely the scribe, who, a.h. 431, wrote
(i_~*s£) the copy, from whioh the Cod. Sprenger. was
token. This appoars from the colophon of the latter,
which is given by Chwolson in a letter published in
the Zeitschrift der Beutschen morgenl. Gesellsohaft,
xxii. 241. The present copy, too, must have been
derived from the MS. of Shaizari, whoso name, also
spelt Shatrt,\B inscribed on it as the author of the "book
(see above). No montion is made of him in the British
> Tho MS. has J^Jli' (sio).

Wetzstein in Zeiteobrift fur allgem. Erdkunde, 1866, p. 18.
Museum MS. There is no positive proof that this
abridgment was made by the author himself, but it
is very probable.
It begins with some general aphorisms, as follows :
These are followed by some remarks of the author con-
cerning bis present task, which are to be found in Cat.
Mus. Brit. 182 (Jl ^kf \Afi). Sprenger and others
have already observed that Ibn al-Faklh was more of
a literary charactor, than an exaot geographer. The
plan of his work is, at least as for as the present
abridgment goes, neither systematic nor in any way
complete. It is, however, rich in dotails. After a few
introductory chapters, on tho formation of the earth
(fol. 2), and on the seas (fol. 3), and a comparison
between the Chinese and Indian nations, there comes
a description of the Arabian peninsula (foil. 5t>.~12).
Next follow two literary digressions, viz. (fol. 12)
^ J* d$} lW J1 ^ *-* i v r aS ■«■* ^> and
(fol. 14) (-jl/iHj «0>!1 z ^ d- After these, the
author describes (fol. 17) Egypt; (fol. 24) al-Maghrib ;
(fol. 25) the Berber country ^^Jl Ja\js\ ; (fol. 28)
Syria and Palestine ; (fol. 36, a special chapter on the
rivalry between the people of Damascus and al-Baerah
^jjj^aJi ,Jl& ^^-^IaJI jiicUl;) (fol. 39t>.) Meso-
potamia ; (fol. 42) the Roman empire, with a digression
(fol. 47) 'Ui C J*» d and (fol. 49) '\^i\ fj di
(fol. 60».) al-'Mk, and especially (fol. 51) al-Kufah,
and (fol. 59) al-Basrah ; (fol. 62, a special chapter,
(iK jj / *aJI ^jlx j^-JjiJi ^Uciil ). Baghdad is not even
mentioned.
On fol. 6 It*, begins the second part, preceded by a
Basmafoh, a list of contents, and a special introduction,
commencing: 'J\ <_>ls£)i Jjl dj&&\ \u*Af L£ jjj.

This commentary is different from that published

at the beginning of the introduction, on the authority
of his pupil JawaUk) (d. a.h. 639): Us&A\ 0^1
^ *r\ y) "j-jyk^. jy*~» y\ o^Hl J^IH aUH
Jl AjU^J ,JUj *)J1 tsJ }J ^\ rf aajst*. The
relation of Tabriz! is founded on the following Itndd :
Abu Muhammad Ibn al-Hasan Jauhari (d. a.h. 454),
Abu 'Omar Muhammad b. al-' Abbas b. Zakarlya b.
IJaiyawaih (date, 1st Safar, 327),

'Abdallah b. 'Amr,
Ibrahim b. ol-Mundhir,

IT. Foil. 7-12. A short Commentary on an erotic
Jfastdah, called <U-3-M , or the Orphan ; by 'Abb al-
HAKX B. 'AbD' At-LAfrP ZlTBAHti.
The Kasidah begins :
It is stated at the beginning of the commentary,
that the poem was called the Orphan, because the
author of it was not known. It is also mentioned there
that two verses of it ore quoted in Hariri's preface
to his Mokdmdt. Now in the commentary on that
work, 1 these verses are attributed to 'Ad! b. al-Rika',
'Amili, a contemporary of Jarlr,' and to the same
the whole Kastdah is ascribed in a note at the end of
this MS. But the two verses given in the said com-
mentary as those immediately preceding the quotation
do not agree with the present text. It is probable,
therefore, that the Xaeldah is supposititious, and only
framed on the metre and rhyme of the old veraes
found in Hariri, which have been put at the end of
the composition.
III. Foil. 16-136. ZauzanI's Commentary on the

The Mu'aUakah of «Amr stands here after that

hence arose some confusion in the text (fol. 125).
On the few leaves which precede this piece are
added a list of contents and various notes.

sequently collated with three copies, whioh were

ment of a commentary, in which the author is named
Shams Ax-nin 'Abb ax-utth'iu b. Mub~ahhaj> Bab-
KtndMi. The latter statement is more probable, as
H.Kh. evidently confounds the present treatise with
Isfara'ini's <— >U1I, before mentioned (no. 894). This
would appear from his general description of the latter
work (£\ jtsfj t_>l^ y.j, p. 303), which in faot is
taken from the preface of the present treatise. 1 The
author of it cannot be later than the eighth century.

PREFACE.
Early in 3870 I was honoured by the Indian Government with the commission to prepare
a Catalogue raisonne of the Arabio MSS. in the Library of the India Offioe. I was engaged
on this task, in London, from April 1870 to July 1872. Unfortunately nearly double
that time has been spent in carrying the work through the press.
The larger half of the MSS. belong to the great colleotion of Muhainmadan MSS.
of the East India House. This collection was formed from the libraries of Warren Hastings,
Tippu Sultan, Richard Johnson, the Gaikwar, Dr. Leydbn, etc. It comprised above
3000 volumes, which were not even classed according to the different languages (Arabio,
Persian, Urdu, Malay, etc.). In 1869 the Arabio portion was picked out, for the first time,
by Dr. G. Hoffmann (now Professor in Kiel), who also drew up a list, in which the numbers
were ?.rruugeu avoiding to eubjeots. The original numeration was left unaltered.
"With the excoption of the library of Tippu, — of which Major Charles Stewart had
prepared a catalogue, whibt it was still in the College of Port William,*— these Arabio MSS.
have remained comparatively little known, and only one has, to my knowledge, been used
for an edition, f
The remaining MSS. belong to the BydpAr colleotion, which consists almost entirely
of Arabio books, only a few being Persian. A full account of the discovery of this collection,
and of the transactions connected with its removal from Bijapur, may be found in the
Bombay Government Becords, No. XLL, New Series, pp. 210 sqq. It was once the Royal
Library of the 'Adil-Shahs, but was subsequently removed to the Asar Mahall J^*J\ } an
ecclesiastioal establishment, which owed its name to the possession of some relics of the
Prophet. There the library was still to be found in 1849, when the attention of the
Government of Bombay was drawn to it by a report of Mr. H. B. E. (now Sir Bartle)
Prere (see Bomb. Gov. Bee, l.o., pp. 215 sqq.). This gentleman also prevailed on a learned
Muhammadan, named Hamid al-din Hakim, to prepare a catalogue in Urdu, which was
translated by Mr. Erskine (Bomb. Gov. Bee, I.e., pp. 221 sqq.). After being removed, in

described partly as MSS. of Tippu, and partly as MSS. of the College of Fort William.

1851, to Satara, the wHole collection was finally sent to London in 1853. Here it was
: «ied, and a catalogue of it drawn up, in Arabic, by Mr. Bizkallah Hassoun, in 1869
In order to distinguish these MSS. from those of the old stock, the letter B has been prefixed
to their numbers.
^ These Bijapur MSS. were, on the whole, in a sad condition. Damp, vermin, and
haoitual neglect, had combined to do their work of destruction on the treasures of the Asar
Ma^L Ihey were generally deprived of their bindings; most of them were defective
and m disorder; some were mere bundles of rubbish. However, I did not spare time and
trouble in ascertaining the doubtful fragments, in re-arranging the leaves, and in notins
*o sometimes numerous defects. Now that they have been duly bound and mended, these
MHb. will, I hope, still be considered a valuable portion of the Library.
In most of theso MSS. there is a note, stating the dates at which they were incorporated
mth the Library of Bijapur ; to which the names of the former owners are frequently added
1 have usually quoted these statements at the foot of the single articles, with the abbrevia-
tion^;. Libr. Subsequently to the taking of Bijapur by Auran gz ib,A.H. 1097 ( = ad 1686)
the Library of the Asar MahaU was inspected by an officer of the latter, named Kabil Khto
U was again surveyed, by order of Asaf Jah^UK ci^v ^ ^ ^ ,___ A . H . 1H6
(-a.d. 1733). Identical notes (and seals) to this effect being in most of the books, I have
not faken any special notice of them. As to the Catalogue Eakim-ErsMne, it was easy to
identify moat of its items, by means of the inscriptions, however inaccurate, which Hakim
Welf had given to the fragments. This is the meaning of the abbreviation CaiaL or
tat, which will usually be found at the end of the articles.
In the literary notes, I have referred, as far as possible, to Hajjf Khalifah's Biblio-
graphical Dictionary, as edited by Flu.gel (H. Eh.), and to the" printed Catalogues of
various collections; but I have avoided needless quotations.
A list of Addenda et Corrigenda which occurred to me, after the respective sheets
were printed, will be found on a subsequent page.
t r n^ ° T °° CluSi0n ' * ^ t0 es P ress ra y bes * thanks to Dr. Rosr, the Librarian of the
India Office Library, who first conceived the plan of cataloguing all the collections under his
charge ; and to Professor W*. Wbighx, for his kindness in reading a proof of each sheet as
it passed through the press, in order to correct faults of style and idiom. That in doing so
he also saved me from some more material errors need scarcely be said.
