al-Qur'an.

Surahs 11-cxiv.

A large Qur'an carefully written (like nos.
1053-6 and 1072(a)) in a rather stiff Indian
script which continued to be used occa-
sionally in Qur'ans until a comparatively
recent period (cf. no. 1056) and which is
distinguished by a general clumsiness of
effect, by the thickness of its horizontal
strokes, the shallowness of the curves of
final nuns and similar letters, the thinness
and approximate horizontality of the vowel-
marks, and other peculiarities'.

Elaborate but rather crude illuminations
on foil. 9 a (beginning of Surah n — the oppo-
site page is missing), 1 1 2 b and 113a (Surah
vn), 245 b and 246a (Surah xix), 37 yb and

1 It has been ascertained from a photograph that this
script belongs to the same type as that of Qur'an no. 65
in the Asaflyah Library, Haidarabad, which is stated in
the catalogue to be written in the khatt i Bihar. Major
Charles Stewart in his catalogue of Tipu's Library, p. 166,
describes a Qur'An (no. Vl) as "written in the Behary
character (a branch of the Cufick)." A manuscript of the
Durr i majalis said to be written in the khalf. i Bih&ri is
described by J<huda Bajchsh in his Maftbilb al-albab, p. 272.

S.A.M.

378a (Surah xxxvm) and 531 b and 532a
(Surah cxiv) mark the beginnings of the
four quarters and the end of the text.

In the margin near to the beginning of
each surah is written in red ink a Persian
note headed Jj^-JI J*iJ concerning the re-
wards promised, according to alleged state-
ments of the Prophet, for reading it. Below
or near to this note is another headed
(U£>) Sjy* jj&. concerning the talismanic
effects of reading the whole surah a speci-
fied number of times.

In the margin likewise are indicated
(usually in red) the beginnings of the
ajza' and asba' 1 and their subdivisions, the
ruku'at, the sajdahs, the variant readings
(the abbreviations denoting the names of
authorities beingwritten underneath, usually
in blue) and an apportionment of the text of
each juz' among the five daily prayers, the
names of which are written in red or blue.
At the beginning of each surah is stated
also in the margin the number of ruku'at
into which it is divided.

There are numerous marginal notes in
various hands consisting largely of extracts
from well-known works such as the 'Arais
al-bayan, al-BaidawI, al-Naisaburl's Gha-
raib al-Qur'an and the Madarik al-tanzll.
Interlinear notes and glosses also are fre-
quent.

Red ink is used in the text for al-Saja-
wandl's signs of pause, the J*e*Lo Ju, the
first few words of each juz' and the head-
ings of surahs,

indication of a division into aihman and atsa\

showing the names of the authorities

1052

4143.— Foil. 485; io£x7£in.; 11. 13; ruled
borders; good, forma] writing in some respects
similar to that of no. 1051 : fully vocalised (foil.
*> 37»38, 48 and 49 have been supplied in a later
hand); the beginning and end of the manuscript
especially have been damaged by worms and
otherwise; copyist, Muhammad Dihlawl; 15th
century (?). [DELHI 13&V]

al-Qur'an.

Surahs 11 12-cxiv.

A slightly defective copy carefully and
elaborately written.

The Quranic text is in large thick letters
and between the lines in small letters is a
literal Persian translation, each Qur'anic
word having the equivalent word or words
written under it. The verses are divided
from one another usually by gilt circles with
black circumferences (from a point on which
a curved line is often drawn to or beyond
the centre), but on foil. 2-7 by rosettes.

The ruku'al are marginally indicated by
means of gilt or red 'ains, the beginnings
of ajza by the word >>aJI (or jjt*.) and the
sajdahs by the word »j>*.* in red.

The headings of surahs are in yellow.
At the beginning of each surah is written
in red on the margin a statement con-
cerning the place of its revelation and the
number of its verses as well as a tradition
concerning the rewards promised for read-
ing it. Here and there are marginal state-
ments concerning the circumstances in
which a particular surah or verse was re-
vealed.

The Qur'anic text ends on fol. 482 a. On
fol. 482^ a prayer headed o!^ 1 a^ 1*a
begins as follows :

On fol. 483^ the copyist, Muhammad
Dihlawl, who gives his name on line 4 of
this page, begins an exposition of the rules
which he has observed in writing this manu-
script :

C*uf1 ajjj &££>)> ebti lak&^&a ^iji <it& j^ij^l&l

Unfortunately these last leaves have been
damaged and it is not possible to read all
the words, but for the most part the sense
is clear. The consonantal text of Zaid ibn
Thabit has, he says, been adhered to except
where this would have caused difficulty to
the reader. The readings of Abu 'Amr as
transmitted by al-YazIdl and those of al-
Kisa'I as transmitted by Nusair have been
given in the text, the latter being distin-
guished by the use of red ink. The other
variant readings are given marginally in red
with the abbreviations for the names of
the several authorities in blue underneath.

The pauses of al-Sajawandl are given in
red and the words U and ^U are marked,
according to the system of al-RazI, with
the signs .-. (= J»>£), o (= i^)> £ ( = -**•)• <-*"
(=»lyix-1) etc.

These statements concerning the rules
observed in writing the manuscript are
followed by two short chapters headed re-
spectively 0U 3 J*Uj^&5
and y!%J\ a^A* { ^ t ii\ s^iU-l^&i

The manuscript begins with the words :

There are lacunae after foil. 6 (n 68-76),
19(11 184-192), 28 (end of 11 255 and be-
ginning of 11 256), 29 (11 261-7) and 43 (111
95-106). About half of fol. 224 and the
bottom of fol. 225 have been torn away.

to that of No. 105 1, but with much less
skill and elaboration.

tliiuan of Bihilr. For further information concerning

VOL. II

The text is accompanied by an inter-
linear Persian translation (different from
that in no. 1052) marked by certain archaic
spellings.

The headings of surahs, the first, seventh
and last line on each page, the marks of
pause, and the marginal indications of
sections, sub-sections and rukil'at are in
red ink. The Persian translation is on some
pages entirely in red, on others entirely in
black, on others partly in red and partly in
black.

The verses are separated from one another
usually by red circles enclosing small black
squares or circles.

Little now remains of the original mar-
gins. The first three leaves were apparently
supplied in the 18th century. The last few
leaves have all lost more than the margins
and on fol. 387a about one-third of the
colophon has been torn away. The follow-
ing words are visible :

Tafslr Surah al-Waqi'ah.

A commentary on Surah lvi ascribed to
'Abd Allah ibn 'Abbas, who is said to have
died a.h. 68/687-8 or soon after (see Ency.
I si 1 19^ etc.).

This commentary is entirely different
from that contained in the concise tafslr
ascribed to Ibn 'Abbas which has been
printed several times. It is concerned
mainly with the subject matter and contains
much eschatological information. Thewords
w>-W» t>*l J 15 occur at frequent intervals and
are usually written in red ink. The por-
tions of the Quranic text are introduced by
the word <*J>$ in red (sometimes followed by

Tafslr al-Sulaml.

Surahs i-xviii.
The Shl'ite commentary of al-Sulaml, or,
as he is frequently called, al-'Aiyashl (Abu
'1-Nadr Muhammad ibn Mas'ud ibn Mu-
hammad ibn 'Aiyash al-Sulami al-Samar-
qandl 1 ), abridged by omission of the isnads.
The author's precise date does not seem
to be recorded, but he was the master of
al-Kashshl (who lived in the first half of
the fourth century a.h., see Rieu 633) and
consequently cannot have flourished long
before the year 300/912-3. Of his works,
which are said to have been more than
two hundred in number and to have been
held in high estimation in Khurasan, some
are mentioned in the Fihrist of Ibn al-Na-
dlm, pp. 194-195, and in that of al-TusT,
no. 690. Notices of him will be found —
apart from the two works already men-
tioned — in Khulasah al-agwal, fol. 113a,
Muntahq 'l-maqa't, fol. 187^, and Raudat
al-jannatiuij^st).

With regard to this commentary the Rau-
dat al-jannat has the following remarks :
jLi.-s|| JU*> ^jA* yt, ^jji jyyL^\ „j«juji V U£,

1 In the Raudat al-jannat he is not called al-Samar-
qandl but al-'Iraql al-Kuft.

I. QURANIC LITERATURE: B. COMMENTARIES

1 1

The commentary does indeed closely re-
semble that of 'All ibn Ibrahim al-Oumml
(see no. 1077), being based mainly on tra-
ditions derived from the Imams Abii Ja'far
(Muhammad al-Baqir) and Abu Abd Allah
(Ja'far al-Sadiq).

It opens with a number of traditions
concerning the Quran and the family of
the Prophet as sources of guidance. These
are followed by some unnumbered chapters
headed as follows :

Tafsir al-Qumml.

Surahs i-liii 18.

A copy, defective both at the beginning
and at the end, of the Shi'ite commentary of
al-Qummi (Abu'l-Hasan 'All ibn Ibrahim
lbn Hashim), who must have flourished in
the first half of the 4th century of the
Hijrah. The date of his death does not
appear to be recorded. Meagre notices of
him will be found in al-TiisI's Fihris, no.
451, p. 209, Khulasah al-aqwal '(1.0 ■. ■•38-24)
fol. 7s6\ Muntahq U-maqal(\.Q. 3802) fol.
134a , Brockelmann 1 192.

This copy is slightly defective at the
beginning, having lost apparently not more
than one leaf. In the Introduction which
is prefixed to the commentary proper the
author first speaks generally of the im-
portance of the Qur'an and the exclusive
knowledge of its meaning possessed by
the Prophet's family. He then (fol. 2a)
proceeds to the special section of which
Ahlwardi has quoted the opening words

mann 1 350.

This copy lacks the isnads which occur in
Ahlwardt 742 and 743, gives the Quranic
text less fully and is otherwise slightly
abridged in places.

The remarks on each surah begin with
statements concerning ( 1 ) its place of reve-
lation and (2) the number of (a) letters,
(6) words and (c) verses in it. These are
usually followed by Ubaiy ibn Ka'b's tra-
dition concerning the rewards promised
for reading it. The earliest commentators
(Ibn 'Abbas, Muqatil, etc.) are often quoted,
their interpretations being sometimes given
one after another in a string preceded in
each case only by the commentator's name
(e.g. fol. 92 a* :

aJUJI £j| o>*~-> ♦iUSj ^hLc ,^| ^56^ yj^oijj

OiJJ~!i k>~ *»JI Oi*Ma+i i)lo*.«)l ^J^L^j ji6>U»-<>3

Of the authorities quoted Tha'lab (d. 291)
and Ibn Jarir (i.e. al-Tabarl, d. 310/923)
seem to be among the latest.

characteristics of this commentary see es-

Surahs n 133-vi 26 and xii 43-xlvii 38.

Fragments of one of the older com-
mentaries, described on one of the fly-

i^Tu- 8 ^ 8 tl l e ^ ^'^^ and in the
Delhi Catalogue ascribed to his brother the
celebrated Abu Hamid al-Ghazall (d. 505/
nil, see Brockelmann 1419, Ency. hi. 11

mentary entitled Yaqut al-la'wll (H. Kh,
vi 1444;), but, as it was in 40 volumes, it
must have been on a much larger scale
than this work.

The manuscript begins abruptly in the
middle of an introductory section evidently
devoted to detailing the branches of know-
ledge ancillary to the science of exegesis
At the top of fol. 1 is the end of a list of
abrogating and abrogated verses in the
Quran. This is followed (line 6) by a
section on the eleven Readers (beginning

which is still incomplete at the end of
fol. 2 b, where a large lacuna occurs, em-
bracing the rest of the introduction, the
commentary on Surah 1 and that on the
first 132 verses of Surah 11.

Prefixed to the notes on each surah is a
statement concerning the place of its revela-
tion. This is followed firstly by a state-
ment concerning the number of verses,
words, and letters contained in it, and
secondly by a tradition concerning the re-
wards promised for reciting it. The Qur-
anic text is not given in its entirety but
only the words commented on, and these
for the most part only one, two or three at
a time. The author regularly cites the in-
terpretations of a number of early tra-
ditionists and commentators dating from
the 1st to the 5 th century. Among the

latest is al-Mawardl who died in 450. The
style is extremely concise, especially where
variant readings and diverse explanations
are cited, these being usually given one
after the other, each preceded merely by
the name of the authority responsible for
it. Verses of poetry are often cited, usually,
anonymously.

I. QUR'ANIC LITERATURE : B. COMMENTARIES

23

Neither the title nor the name of the
author occurs in this manuscript, which is
slightly defective at the beginning, but the
identification seems to be almost certain.
A passage quoted on fol. 73 a of the Tuhfah
al-ashraf (no. 1096 infra) as from a~&UJt
,J&\ differs only very slightly from the
corresponding passage in this manuscript
(fol. 29 <5 3 ), and the two supercommentaries
agree word for word in many other passages.
In this work, moreover, we find no references
to al-Tibl, the Intisaf and the Insaf works
which, as we know from H. Kh., became
known to al-Yamani only after the com-
pletion of the Durar al-asdaf. References
to the Taqrtb, the Kashf and to .%&aJI ^a*!
are common in both works.

The statement of Hajjl Khalifah that
this work was completed in Safar 738/1337
cannot be correct if the Cairo Catalogue
is right in saying that the Tuhfah al-ashraf
was completed in Safar 733/1332, since the
former is admittedly the earlier work.
Perhaps hi. Kh.'s 738 is a mistake for 728.

A portion (Surahs xn-xxiv) of the
Mabahilh al-tanzll, a lafslr apparently by
this author, is preserved in the British
Museum (see Ellis-Edwards p. 4).

Hajjl Khallfah states that al-Fadil al-
Yamanl after finishing his Durar al-asdaf
(see no. 1095) came across the annotations
of al-Tibl and composed a second super-
commentary on the basis of al-Tlbl's an-
notations and his own Durar" al-asdaf .
According to the Cairo Catalogue 1 137 the
work was completed on 3 Safar 733/1332
(but see the remarks on the date of the
Durar al-asdaf, p. 23 supra).

The preface is omitted in this manu-
script, in which the title Tuhfah al-ashraf
does not occur. At the top of the title-
page, however, the work is stated to be

Hashiyah al-Taftazanl ( ala
'1-Kashshaf.

Surahs i-x 58 and xxxviii-xliii 27.

A defective copy of the annotations of
al-Taftazanl (Sa'dal-Din Mas'udibn 'Umar)
on the Kashshaf.

For the life and works of al-Taftazanl, a
scholar of the time of Tlmur and the author
of several celebrated text-books, see Habib
al-siyar in 3, 87 (places his death in 797/
1394—5), Bughyah al-wu'a/i 291 (place's his
death in 791/1389 on authority of Ibn
H 2]ax),al-Fawa'idal-bahiyak 1 34 I0 (mentions
that according to some authorities (e.g. Ibn
Nujaim and apparently al-Kaffawl) he died
on Monday, 21 al-Muharram 792/1390),
and Brockelmann 11 215.

Hajjl Khallfah states, in a quotation from
al-Suyutl, that these annotations are an
abridgment of those of al-Tibl 1 (al- Hasan
or al-Husain b. Muhammad, died 743/
1342-3). He adds that they extended to
Surah x and from Surah xxxvm to liv,
and that the author ceased to work on
them in 789.

'1-Wafa', a son of the saint 'Alawan [see
Brockelmann 11 333]. Having studied
under Abu '1-Wafa' and other scholars for
a number of years at Hamah, he visited in
turn Halab, Hims and Asia Minor. He
was then appointed principal of a madrasah
in Damascus and while resident there he
studied Tradition and Quranic Exegesis
under Badr al-Dln al-GhazzI [see Brockel-
mann 11 360]. At this period he married the
daughter of Abu 'l-Fida\Isma'll al-NabulusI.
In the year 978/1570-1 he left Damascus
for Cairo. His account of this journey is
preserved in manuscript at Paris (de Slane
2293), Cairo (Cat. Vol. vn 646, cf. Brockel-
mann 11 361) and Cambridge (Browne,
Hand-list 144 and 303). In Egypt he
associated with a number of scholars who
are named by al-Muhibbl and held for a
time the post of judge at Fuwwah. Sub-
sequently he held judicial appointments at
Hims, Hi§ n al-Akrad, Ma'arrah al-Nu'man
and other places. Finally in 993/1585 he
settled at Damascus and held the appoint-
ments of Naib al-Kablr, QadI 'l-'askar and
Mufti as well as lectureships in a number
of madrasahs. He died on the 23rd of
Shawwal 1016/1608. He was distinguished
in many branches of knowledge and was
eminent both as a prose-writer and as a
poet. Al-KhafajT devotes a section to him
in his Raihanak al-alibba'. His hand-
writing, according to al-Muhibbl, was
extremely beautiful, but the writing of this
manuscript is not remarkable.

Of his works al-Muhibbl mentions the
following (in addition to the Tamil al-ayat) :

(1) Annotations on j~~»z\\ (i.e. presum-
ably al-Baidawl).

(2) Annotations on al-Hidayah (doubt-
less al-Marghlnanl's system of Hanafl law).

(3) Annotations on al-Durar wa-'l-
gfwrar (i.e. Mulla Khusrau's Durar al-
hukkam ft shark Ghurar al-ahkam, see
Brockelmann 11.226).

(4) \ 'Umdafi dl-Jtukkdm, a metrical work
or\ fiqk.

(5) A commentary on Muhibb al-Dln
[Muhammad ibn Muhammad] Ibn al-
Shihnah's Mangumah on rhetoric

(6) al-Rihlahal-Misrtyahwa-l-Runiiyah
wa-l-Tabriziyah. Of these travels the
Paris MS. de Slane 2293 seems to contain
the first two parts and a Cairo MS (vn p.
646) the first part, which bears the tide
Hadi 'l-az'an di ' Najdiyah ila 'l-Diyar al-
Misriyah. Both the first part and the
second part, which bears the title Bawadi
'l-dumu' al-'andamtyaA bi-wadi 'l-Diyar
al-Rumly<ih are preserved at Cambridge
(see Browne, Hand-list 144 and 303).

(7) alSahm al-mu'tarid (a work with
this title is ascribed by Ahlwardt (450 (27))
to Muhibb al-Dln's son Muhibb Allah).

(8) al-Radd 'ala man f ajar.

(9) A collection of twenty risalahs

(10) Numerous o^Cjj, some of which
were collected into a volume by his grand-
son.

In the present work the verses are
grouped alphabetically according to the
rhyming consonants. Within the groups
they are arranged in the order in which
they occur in the Kasjishaf. The writer
states that he had seen a commentary on
these verses [perhaps that described in
Cairo 1 179J which suffered from the defect
that it did not specify the aS\ which the
verse was quoted to illustrate. In this
work the author has stated in each case
the aj\ to which the verse applies and it is
to this circumstance that the book owes its
title.

The title-page bears the following words:

Sharh shawahid Majma' al-bayan.

A commentary on the poetical citations
in the Maj'tna' al-bayan of al-TabarsT
(d. 548/1153-4, see no. 1102) by Abu
Muhammad Muhammad l^usain ibn Mu-
hammad al-Tahir al- Sharif al-Wahld.

The father of the author is no doubt to
be identified with the well-known Muham-
mad Tahir Wahid, who was appointed his-
toriographer to Shah 'Abbas II in 1055/
1645—6, was subsequently wazlr to Shah
Sulaiman, and who composed a history of
the first fifteen years of the reign of Shah
•Abbas, an /nsha' and a Dlwan. (See Erh£
1653, Rieu, Persian Catalogue 189&) The
composition of this work may consequently
be placed with some probability in the
second half of the 17th century.

The shawahid are explained in the order
in which they occur in al-Tabarsl's work,
the opening of each surah being indicated
in the margin by the formula jukl>& »-^A
— »,^-» j*~*3 (in red ink) and in the text
usually by a similar though shorter formula
(— Sj^^^^uAj jjfcl^i) in black ink overlined in
red, while the title of the surah under dis-
cussion is written in red ink in the top left-
hand corner of the recto of each leaf. Each
citation is introduced by the word l^-u (or
lyUj) overlined in red.

It is the author's practice to arrange his
information methodically in the following
(unnumbered) sections:

(1) [without heading]. Information con-
cerning (a) the poet, (i) the remainder of
the line, if only a fragment is quoted,
(c) the context etc., (d) the individual

words from the point of view of accidence
and lexicography.

KV

with the heading vU* 1 ^' overlined

in red]. Notes on the syntax.

(3) [with the heading U5 ^Js_ Jt overlined in
red]. Elucidation of the meaning, This
section is frequently omitted.

(4) [with the heading <v a^*^--*;)! over-
lined in red]. Explanation of the point
illustrated by the citation.

Occasionally these are followed by a
fifth section introduced by the heading
J*jJJ3I or J*».xj, in which the author dis-
cusses not the citation but a point in al-
Tabarsl's commentary.

Jawami' al-jami'.

Surahs i-xviii 30.

About half of the commentary composed
in the period 18 Safar 542-24 al-Muharram
543 (according to the author's colophon in
Loth 64) at the suggestion of his son, Abu
Nasr al- Hasan, by al-TabarsI (Abu 'All al-
Fadl ibn al-Hasan, who died in 548/1 153
-4, see no. 1 102) on the basis of his •
Majma' al-bayan (no. 1 102) and his abridg-
ment of the Kashshaf entitled al-Kafl
H-shaf [>j[h\ .^iWI as it is written in this
copy: in Loth 64 it is written ^UM ^£1!,
not ^UJl ,J ^101 as stated in Loth's Cata-
logue]. The author was at the time of
composition more than seventy years old.
For further details see Loth 64.

The title is mentioned in the preface,
but whereas in this manuscript it is given
in the "f m Jawami' al-jami' in Loth 64 it
is writt 1 Jmni' al-jawdmi'.

This commentary is much more concise
than the Majma' al-bayan and the com-
ments are not grouped under headings.

At the beginning of each surah are state-
ments concerning its place of revelation
and the number of its verses. These are
followed by a tradition or traditions con-
cerning the rewards promised for reading
it (beginning usually ^yl vtoj*- ^)-

A slightly defective copy of the Sufistic
commentary of Sadr al-Dln (Abu '1-Ma'alI
Muhammad ibn Ishaq) al-QunawI on
Surah 1 (cf. Brockelmann 1 449).

The author was a pupil of Ibn 'ArabI,
a friend of Jalal al-Dln RumI, and in
Hadlth the teacher of Qu.tb al-Dln ShlrazI
( Mahmud ibn Mas'ud "al-'Allamah," see
Brockelmann 11 211). He died, according
to Hajjl Khallfah 1 9150, n 3357 etc. in
672/1273-4 (the date of the death of
Jalal al- Din RumI, who predeceased him
according to Safinak al-anliya p. 68),
but in 673 according to H. Kh. 11 2372,
in 6336, iv 9180 etc. and Subkl v 19. The
date of his death is not mentioned in the
Nafahat al-uns (no. 539), the tfabib al-
siyar (in 1, 66) or the Safiuafc al-auliyB!
(p. 68). The Kkazinafr al-asfiya (1 112)
gives the incorrect date 630.

In the Habfb al-siyar 111 3, 348, there is
a short notice of a certain 'Isam al-Dln
Ibrahim who is described as the son of
'Arabshah Isfarayinl, but who is doubtless
to be identified with the author. It is there
stated that in the time of Sultan tlusain he
was appointed lecturer in the madrasah of
Shah Rukh Mlrza, that in Rajab 926

at the time when Khwandamlr wrote he
was enjoying the favour of 'Ubaid Allah
Khan [ibn Mahmiid, the ShaibanidJ. Ac-
cording to Rieu he died at Samarqand.

It is stated by H. Kh. that these annota-
tions, which he describes as

extended from Surah 1 to vi and from
Surah lxxviii to the end of the Quran.
They are dedicated to the ['Uthmanllj
Sultan Sulaiman ibn Sallm, who reigned
from 926 to 974. According to Rieu, the
author gives Shawwal 940 as the date of
completion (of the part relating to Surahs
i-vi).

The present copy begins, like Loth 84,
with the last words of the preface, viz. :

author of annotations on J ami's at-Fawa'id

completed in 1019/1610-11. Jalal ibn Naslr
must therefore have flourished about the

Hashiyah 'ala Madarik al-tanzil.

Surahs i-xiii 37.

Annotations on the Madarik al-ianzil of
al-Nasafi, probably by Ilahdad Jaunpuri,
who died in 923/1517 according to the
Hadaiq al-Hanaflyah 364 and the Tajalli
i nur of Nur al-dln Zaidi, Vol. 11 p. 40, but
in 932/1525-6 according to Rahman 'All
25. The date of his death is not mentioned
in the Akhbar al-akhyar or the Subhah al~
mar j an 43.

Ilahdad was the pupil both of 'Abd Allah
ibn Ilahdad Talanbl, who wrote a com-
mentary entitled Badi' al-mizan on the
Mtzan al-manliq, and of Abd al Malik
'Adil Jaunpuri, who was himself a pupil of
Shihab al-Dln ibn Shams al-Dln ibn 'Omar
al-Daulatabadl, the well-known qadl 7
qudah of Jaunpur in the time of Ibrahim
Shah Sharql. Consequently Abd al-Haqq
Dihlawl is able to say in his Akhbar al-
akhyar that Ilahdad

<£*»»• O^l vk-*' u*^* V-^ "J^b Atfi
and it is therefore not surprising that
Shihab al-Dln Daulatabadi is often referred
to in these annotations in such terms as

&su*jsub <jjtj^j c>i^h ^-*" «cjjV»» (01 _Ao'>)i) iix^yi

Ilahdad is said to have been particularly
learned in law and to have written com
mentaries on (1) the Kafiyah [of Ibn <\\
Hajib], (2) the Hidayah [of al-Marghlnanl |,
(3) al-Bazdawl['s work on the principles of
jurisprudence] and (4) the Madarik \cd
tanzll of al-Nasafi].

Ghara'ib al-Qur'an wa-ragha'ib

Surahs 1— cxi UeI,, »»8

A slightly defective copy of the com-
mentary of Nizam al-Naisaburi (i.e. Nizam

al-Dln al-Hasan ibn Muhammad ibn al-
Husain al-Qumml al-A'rajj.

The date of the author's death does not
appear to be recorded, but according to his
own statement at the end of his commen-
tary on Naslr al-Dln al-Tusl's Tahrtr al-
Mijtsti (Cureton-Rieu 392) he completed
that work in Sha'ban 704/1305. and ac-
cording to a similar statement he com-
pleted his commentary on al-Tadhkirah
al-Naftriyah (Cureton-Rieu 396) in RabT'
1 7 1 1/1 3 1 1 . His Shamsiyahfi 'l-hisdb (see
Loth 749) is dedicated to Shams al-Dln
'Abd al-Latlf one of the sons of the cele-
brated wazlr Rashld al-Dln Fadl Allah.
In the Bughyah al-iou'a/i 230 al-Suyuti
says that no biographical notice of this
writer was known to him. Ahlwardt (871)
refers to a notice in the Daslur al-i'ldm.
I here is another, destitute of accurate
data, in the Raudat al-jannat 225.

For further particulars concerning his
works see Brockelmann 11 211 (where the
lafstr al-Qur'an [i.e. Ghara'ib al-Qur'an']
and the Mukhtasar Mafatlh al-ghaib are
treated as two different worksp 1 131
(where there is a confusion with a much
earlier Naisabi.rl, al-Hasan b. Muhammad
b. Habib), 192, 305, 511.

The Ghara'ib al-Qur'an is based chiefly
on the Majall/i al-ghaib of Fakhr al-Din
al-RazI, but also on the KashshaJ "and other
works, some of which are specified by the
author in a passage at the end of his com-
mentary (Vol. xxx 201* in the Cairo edition),
which is quoted by Hajjl Khalifah (iv p.
308 4 ), who gives also the subdivisions of
, the introduction.

' For further information concerning the
nature of this commentary see especially

Ta'wilat al-Qur'an.

The Sufistic commentary of 'Abd al-
Razzaq al-Kashl (or al-Kashani), who died
according to Hajjl Khallfah iv p. 427 s in
730/1329-30, but according to Raudat al-

jannat 353 in 735/i334~5- His co ™ m ^\
tary on the Manazil al-satrin of 'Abd
Allah al-HarawI (see Loth 600) is dedicated
to Ghiyath al-Din Muhammad, the son of
the celebrated wazlr Rashid al-Din Fadl

under Tartar Dominion, 51-2, 68-87 etc.).
For further information concerning the
author see Haft Iqlim, no. 902, Ency. Isl.

According to Hajjl Khallfah 11 2358, the
Tdwilat of al-Kashl extended only to
Surah xxxvm, but none of the recorded
copies seems to stop at this point. Neither
the title nor the author's name occurs in
the text itself (in this manuscript the words

aJJI ^j ^\£* JljjJl <** ' u ^>* «^k5 u
are written at the top of fol. id) and a
printed edition published at Bulaq in 1283
bears the title Tafolr Ibn'Arato. (Presum-
ably the work of which an (incomplete >)
edition was published at Cawnpore in 1 300
etc. is identical with this : the tafsir attri-
buted to Ibn ArabI which is described in
Ahlwardt 808 is quite different.) The
author's prefatory statements concerning
the scope of his work are summarised in
Ahlwardt 931.

Part of the large commentary of Abu
Haiyan al-Gharnati (Athlr al-Dln Mu-
hammad ibn Yusuf), who died in 745/1344.
For further information concerning this
distinguished scholar 1 see his pupil al-
Isnawl's Tabaqal al-Sjiafi'iya/i (Loth 709)
fol. 5 1 b, Bughyali al-wu'ah 121, Brockel-
mann 11 109, Ency. 1st. 1 88 etc.

The work opens with a long preface, in
which the author states that a long-cherish-
ed hope of concentrating on the study of
Quranic exegesis was realised in the reign
of al- Malik al-Nasir, at the end of the year
710 and in the 57th year of his age, when
he was (appointed ?— something is torn
away here) lecturer in this subject in the
Qubbah of al-Malik al-Mansur. His state-
ments concerning the scope of his work
are summarised in the Cairo catalogue
p. 130. As he says on fol. 5 g», it is based
largely on the huge Kiidb al-lahrlr wa
l-lahbtr h-aqwal a'immah al-iafslr (see
H. Kh. 11 2498) of Ibn al-Naqib (Muham-
mad ibn Sulaiman al-MuqaddasI, d. 698/
1 298 according to Tabaqal al-mufassirln
no. 97, but in 668/1269-70 according to
al-Fawaid al-bahiyak 168). The com-
mentaries of al-Zamakhsharl and Ibn
'Atlyah, whom he calls the greatest of
commentators, have also been used.

A part (described in the colophon as a
quarter w>) of the predominantly gram-
matical commentary of Ibn al-Samln al-
Halabl (Shihab al-Dln Abu 'l-'Abbas
Ahmad ibn Yusuf) who was a pupil of
Abu Haiyan al-Gharnati (see no. 1 140) and
held various appointments at Cairo, includ-
ing the Ministry of Waqfs and a lecture-
ship at the Mosque of Ibn Tulun. He died
according to al-Dtirar al-kaminak (l.O.
MS.) in Jumada 11 or Sha'ban 756/1 355,
cf. BugkyaA al-wu'a/i 175, Brockehnann 11

in. ~~

This work (which is mainly concerned
with grammatical, lexicographical and
rhetorical matters) is frequently called
I'rab al-Quran or I'rab al-Samln.- Accord-
ing to H. Kh. 1 p. 354 s it is based on al-
Bahr al-mukil of Abu Haiyan, whose
statements, however, the author frequently
controverts. A statement of the author,
which is quoted on the last page of this
manuscript after the colophon, gives the
date of completion as the middle of Rajab,
734/1334. In this same statement the
author's name is given, professedly in a
quotation of his own words, as Ibn al-
Samln not al-Samln (see below).

According to H. Kh. the statement of
al-Suyuti (followed apparently by Brockel-
mann) that al-Safaqusl's I'rab al-Quran is
an abridgment of (Ibn) al-Samin's is a
mistake, since both are directly dependent
on Abu Haiyan. This is borne out by
Ahlwardt's summary of al-Safaqusl's own
statements (Berlin Cat. 881).

Surahs i-m 130.

The beginning of the commentary of al-
Maha'imi ('All ibn Ahmad), who died in
Jumada 1 835/1432 according to Subhah
al-marjan 40 6 , Hadaiq al-Hanaflyah Wl
and Rahman 'All 147'--. ' ''

He belonged to the largely seafaring
people called Navayat (or Nava'it as
Ghulam 'All A 2 ad spells the name~cn>
00^ cJlyJI aiJU,, Subhah p. 39 ult.) who
claim Arab descent and exist to this day
as a separate class on the coast of the
Bombay Presidency. He was buried at
Maha'im; the present Mahim, a small town
on the coast of the Thanah district. Among
the works ascribed to him by Ghulam 'All
Azad, in addition to his tafslr, are com-
mentaries on the 'Azvarif al-ma'arif of
al-Suhrawardl, the Fusils al-hikam of Ibn
al-'Arabf, and the Nushs of" Sadr al-Dfn
al-QunawI (see Ahlwar'dt 3016) as well a*
a treatise entitled Adillah al-tauhld.

1. QUR'ANIC LITERATURE: B. COMMENTARIES

This commentary is mentioned by Hajjl
Khalifah n 2388, where however the author
is confounded with another writer, cf.
Brockelmann 11 113 (where al-Maha'iml
should be substituted for al-Umawi al-
Hanbali and 831/1427-8 for 833/1429) and
221 (where the date should be corrected).

As appears from the preface this com-
mentary was composed in 831.

As stated by Loth ( 1 1 2), it is the author's
practice to begin his commentary on each
surah with an explanation, frequently
allegorical, of its title (<o or l^j c«^->). " Next
follows an ever-varying paraphrase of the
Basmalah, and it concludes with a pious
peroration " [or rather doxology].

Jami* al-bayan fi tafsir al-Qur'an.

A concise "mixed" commentary com-
posed at Mecca in the space of two years
and three months by Mu'In Tal-Dln] ibn
Safl [al-Dln].

According to the Cairo Catalogue 1 159
(cf. Brockelmann n 203) the author, Mu'In
al-Dln al-Saiyid Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-
Rahman ibn Muhammad ibn 'Abd Allah
ibn Muhammad ibn 'Abd Allah al-Hasanl
al-Husainl al-ljl al-Safaw! al-Shafi'I, was
born at Ij in 832/1429 and is said to have
died in 905/1499-1 5°°.- Hajjl Khallfah,
who calls the work Jawami' al-tibyan (11
4246)/says on the alleged authority of the
work itself that it was begun on 2 Jumada
n 904 and completed in Ramadan 905.
This is not in agreement either with the
present manuscript or with the lithographed
text in both of which there is a colophon
stating that the work was completed in 870/
1465-6. In the preface the author states
further that he was forty years old at the
time, a statement which is only approxi-
mately correct if he was born in 832.

There is nothing moreover either in this
manuscript or in the lithographed text
corresponding to Hajjl Khallfah's words

but the quotation beginning aj^^j U J^l ^M^
agrees with the manuscript and "the litho-
graph. As is there stated, the work is
based on the Ma'alim al-lanzll, the Wasit,
Ibn Kathir, al-Nasafi, the Kashshaf with
the annotations of al-Tibi and al-Taftazanl
and al-Kashf [see no. 1094], an d lastly al-

Accordingto al-Suyutl's own statement in

is based mainly on the smaller commentary
(i.e. al-Talkhis fi'l-tafsir) of al-Kawashi

'Alam al-Dln 'All ibn Muhammad al-
Sakhawi, and who died in 680/1281, see

al-Iklll fi 'stinbat al-tanzll.

A work by the same al-Suyuti on the
deductions which have been or" may be
drawn from various passages in the Qur'an.
1 hese deductions are for the most part
legal and theological, and consequently
this work though wider in scope, belon/s
to the class of those dealing with the
Ahkam al-Quran.

The author introduces his subject by
quoting a number of Qur'anic passages and
traditions in support of the thesis that
everything in existence is explicitly or im-
plicitly mentioned in the Qur'an He then
gives an abridged extract from [the Tafsir

am 1 u M a U [ sT •^ Sharaf al " Dln Abu 'Abd
Allah or Abu "1-Fadl Muhammad ibn 'Abd
Allah, d. 655/1257 according to H. Kh 11
3399, cf. Brockelmann 1 312] in which are
mentioned the sciences dependent on the
Quran as well as a number of sciences of
which the fundamental ideas may be re-
garded as referred to in the Qur'an. Having I
briefly indicated the kind of historical and
other information which is to be found in the
Quran, he states that he has himself
written works, surpassing those of his pre-
decessors, on a number of the Quranic
sciences ^

Jj>i)l U^t^ oU«J|j V>fc »Jl3 J^jjt w^lfe)

As regards the Ahkam al-Qur'an^i
mentions that works on this subject have

been written by al-Qadl IsmaTl [ibn Ishaq
al-Azdf al-Basrl, who died in 282/895-6]
Bakr ibn al-'Ala', Abu Bakr [Ahmad ibn
'Ah al-Jassas] al-Razi [whq died in 370/
981 and whose Ahkam al-Quran is pre-
served at Bankipur, Cairo and Constanti-
nople], byal-Kiya al-Hirasi ['All ibn Mu-
hammad, who died in 504/1 no and whose
Ahkam al-Quran is preserved at Cairo]
Abu Bakr Ibn al-'Arabl [Muhammad ibn
'Abd Allah, who died in 543/1148, and
whose Ahkam al-Quran was printed at
Cairo in i3 3 i]and by 'Abd al-Mun'im
[ibn Muhammad] Ibn al-Faras [al-Gharnatl,
who died in 597/1 200-1].

He expresses his opinion of his pre-
decessors and states the purpose of his own
work in the following passage :

Nearly the whole of the prefatory matter

legal, theological or other deductions which
have been based on it. The authorities for
particular deductions are frequently men-
tioned by name, and there are many ex-
tracts from the works of Abu Bakr al-RazI,
Ibn al-Faras and others.

Shaikh 'Alial-Muttaq^^j&^M ^ »y2> aa^A*.),
the space for his name before these words
being left blank.

'All ibn Husam al-Dln al-Muttaqi was a
celebrated Indian saint and scholar who
was born at Burhanpur in 885, settled
eventually ai Mecca and died there, ac-
cording to Rahman 'All, p. 147 6 , in 975/
1567, cf. Brockelmann 11 384, Hadaiq al-
Hanaftyah 383 12 .

According to Hadaiq al-Hanafiyah
392 ,(1 (cf. 387 s ) 'All al-Muttaql's khalifah
was 'Abd al-Wahhab (ibn Wall Allah) al-
Muttaqf, who was born in India but who
lived the greater part of his life in Mecca,
where the well-known 'Abd al-Haqq
Dihlawl became his pupil and disciple.
He died in 1001/1592-3.

No works of 'Abd al-Wahhab al-MuttaqT
are named in the Akhbar al-akhyar, the
Tadhkir'ah i 'u/ama i Hind, or the Hadaiq
al-Hanafiyali. In view of this fact and
of the possibility that 'All al-MuttaqT may
have had more than one khalifah, it cannot
be stated quite definitely that 'Abd al-
Wahhab is the author of this work.

At the beginning of the work it is the
author's practice to summarise in short
sentences the divisions of the subject
matter and to quote after each sentence the
relevant Qur'anic passage. This plan is
soon modified, but throughout the work
the author is concerned mainly with the
chief divisions of the subject matter, with
the asbab al-nuziil, and with the historical
and other allusions. The exegetical ma-
terial is for the most part derived from the
earliest traditionists and commentators.

The manuscript is slightly defective at
the end, and breaks off in the middle of
the remarks on the last surah.

Surah 1.

A commentary by the Shl'ite scholar
Baha' al-Din al-'Amill (Muhammad ibn
Husain, who died in 1030/162 1, see
no. 1 1 20).

According to the Randat al-jannat, iv
94 M , this commentary never extended be-
yond Surah 1, and if we may judge from
this manuscript, even this part remained
unfinished, since it breaks off abruptly
before the end of the traditions which were
to form the conclusion of the comments on
this surah (cf. fol. 29^ :

It was composed in the reign of Shah
'Abbas II, after the author had reached
the fiftieth year of his age. Linguistic and
grammatical points are discussed as well as
the subject matter, and both Shl'ite and
Sunnite views are referred to. There are

Nur al-thaqalain.

Surahs vii-xvm.

The second part \al-juz" al-thanf\ of the
ShT'ite commentary of 'Abd 'All ibn Jum'ah
al-'ArusI al-HuwaizI, a resident of Shiraz.
The date of his death does not seem. to be
recorded, but a short notice of him is given
by his contemporary al-Hurr al-'Amili
(d. 1 099/ 1 687-8) in his Amal al-Amil
(p. 48'° in the Tihran edition), and there
is a longer one in the Raudat al-jannat,

p. 358.

In addition to this commentary he wrote
a commentary on the Lamiyafi al-'Ajam.
The Shaikh Ni'mah Allah al-Jaza'irl was
one of his pupils.

The date of the completion of this
second part is given in the colophon of
this manuscript as 1057/1647, while the
colophon of Loth 106 states that Part I
(or at any rate one autograph manuscript
of that part) was completed in 1065/1655.

The extracts of which this commentary
consists are introduced by the titles of the
books from which they are talcen preceded
by the preposition ^J> (^UOI ;~Jtf ^i etc.,
always written in red ink).

consisting to a considerable extent of
glosses on al-BaidawI's notes. According
to an endorsement on fol. i a the author of
the first is "Imam Qurtubl," and according
to a similar endorsement on fol. 910 the
second is a hashiyak by Maulawl Muham-'
Lmad Tahir. It is clear, however, both from •
;the close mutual resemblance of the two
" works and from the fact that they contain
identical passages introduced by the word
J>»l, that they are both by the same author.
That the author, moreover, is Ghulam
Naqshband is evident from the fact that
on fol. 63 b the Tafsir Anwar al-Furqan
is referred to as a work of the author's
own.

Ghulam Naqshband Lakhnawl, who
died in 1126/1714 (see no. 1127), wrote a
commentary on a quarter of the Quran
entitled Anwar al-Furqan, annotations on
this commentary, commentaries on some
surahs of the Quran, a commentary on al-
Qasidah al-Khazrajiyah (referred to on
10I. 820 of this manuscript) and other works :
see Subhah al-marjan 78, Hadaiq ai-
Hanaftyak 435, Rahman 'All 158.

The first of these two commentaries is
complete and occupies foil. 1-90, the second
is defective and breaks off before the con-
clusion of the notes on verse 87. The
greater part of the material in both is
identical. The Quranic passages com-
mented on are introduced by the words
t yU3 tig, al-Baidawl's words by aJj*.
Neither of these commentaries has any-
thing in the shape of a preface prefixed,
and the first, in which there occur references
to explanations already given in Surah 11,
is evidently part of a commentary em-
bracing more than this one surah.

on 10 Muharram 1 1 17 [1705] (notes on fol.
324a). He says (note on fol. 361) that he
was present at the battle between Muham-
mad A'zam Shah and Bahadur Shah near
Akbarabad[i8 Rabr i, 11 19/18 June, 1707]
and fully expected to die and leave the
commentary unfinished, but that on the
conclusion of hostilities he devoted himself
to the two remaining parts [i.e. Surahs
xix-lxxvii] and completed them at Ajmer
in Qhu '1-Hijjah 1 120 [1709].

Foil. 16-26 contain a rough draft of the
beginning of the work which was no doubt
intended to be superseded by the revised

A Shl'ite commentary on the Basmalak
by Muhammad 'All ibn Fadl 'AH Khan
entitled Fadl 'All Khan, completed at the
beginning of Safar 11 32/1 719.

The author states in his preface that

having since his childhood been devoted to

the study of the 'nlftm and having come

across no commentary on the Basmalak he

decided to compose a commentary in which

it should be considered from the point of

view of twelve different 'ulilm. The work

is divided into a muqaddi/uak, twelve

raudat and a khatimah. Each raudah is

concerned with a particular 'ilm as follows :

(1) al-lughah, (2) al-sarf, (3) al-nakw,

A al-ma'aui, (5) al-bayan, (6) al-badi\

7) al-hikmah al-nazariyah, (8) al-kalam,

9) al-mantiq, (10) al-nsftl, (11) al-fiqh,

Fath al-Khabir bi-ma la budd min
hifzih fi 'ilm al-tafsir.

Concise annotations (in Arabic) on the
Quran, consisting for the most part of
explanations of the less familiar words
occurring therein, together with brief state-
ments concerning the circumstances which
led to the revelation of particular surahs or
passages. The work forms the fifth and
last chapter of al-Fauz al-kablr, a Persian
treatise on the principles of Quranic
exegesis by Wall Allah DihlawT (d. 1176/
1762-3, see Ency. hi 1 971), but, as the
author states, it has been given a separate
preface [and title] so that it may, if desired,
be copied as an independent book. The
rest of al-Fauz al-kablr precedes it in
this manuscript.

The author states that the explanations
are traditional and are derived for the most
part from 'Abd Allah ibn 'Abbas, mainly
through the medium of Ibn Abl T a lhah,
but in some cases through al-Dahhak and
Nafi' ibn al-Azraq. Further explanations
are derived from al-Bukharl's Sahth and
other sources. Statements concerning the
asbab al-nuzul are derived from al-Bukharl,
al-Tirmidhl, andal-Hakim[i.e. Muhammad
ibn 'Abd Allah Ibn al-Baiyi', see Brockel-

ibn Maulawl Lutf Allah Faruql, of whom
a short notice is given in Tadhktrah i
'ulama i Hind, p. 172. He is there said to
have been a pupil of Shah *Abd al-'AzIz
Dihlawl 1 , of Rashld al-Dln Khan Dihlawl
and of Muhammad Kazim Dihlawl. As
a Sufi he was the disciple of Saiyid Al
i Ahmad Marahrawl. He died at the age
of ninety on the 4th of §ha\vwal .1291/1874.
Rahman 'All says that he wrote numerous
works but does not give the titles of any.
Several arepieserved in the Delhi Collection
(see the Index to this Catalogue).

This commentary, as the author himself
acknowledges (fol. 23 ^), consists almost
entirely of extracts from other works 5 . A
large proportion are in Persian. Prefixed
to the commentary proper is an introduction
divided into four usfil, each asl being sub-
divided into a number of 'unwans. The
usfil are as follows :

These are followed by a long extract
from the Itqan of al-Suyuti.

1 That he was not the immediate pupil of Shah 'Abd
al-'Aziz but the pupil of a pupil is suggested by the
following words which occur on fol. 228^ of this MS. :

2 The sources of the extracts are regularly specified.

The actual commentary is divided into
majalis, of which the first (fol. 24 b) is
headed

^jijjI^ t^-ttij O*^ 1 -*? *-* )l **** »-W

The next nine majalis are numbered and
(except in the case of no. 2, where the date
seems to have been accidentally omitted)
assigned to particular Fridays (13th, 21st,
and 28th Jumad§ u, 6th, 12th, 19th, and
26th Rajab, and 4th Sha'ban). Thence-
forward the ordinal numbers and dates
(except in the case of no. 11, which is
assigned to Sha'ban, without mention of a
particular day) are omitted. After fol. 147
even the word ^^-»JI is omitted.

A particular Quranic verse or phrase
usually forms the subject of several suc-
cessive majalis. Some of the majalis are
entirely in Persian.

The remarks on Surah 1 begin on fol. 48a,
those on Surah 11 on fol. 232 a.

Brockelmann 1 119. where the name of the
author is given as Abu Bekr M. b. 'Omar

sole authority of the Leyden manuscript).

The author, who is said to have spent
fifteen years on this work, was a pupil of

Anbarl who was himself a pupil of Tha'lab.
Whether his name was y r y- c*' or jjj* &i\

The work itself contains nothing in the
shape of a title apart from the words Tafsir

As'ilah al-Qur'an wa-ajwibatha.

A fragment of a work belonging to the
type usually called as'ilah al-Qur'an or
mushkilat al-Qur'an, of which the object
is to explain away the difficulties, apparent
inconsistencies, inaccuracies, etc. to be found
in the Qur'an.

That it is a fragment of the As'ilah al-
Qur'an wa-ajwibatha of Muhammad ibn
Abl Bakr ibn Abd al-Qadir al-RazT is
rendered probable by the facts that (1) the
questions are introduced by the words
J*S ,^li and the answers by UAJ 1 (cf. Ahl-
wardt 706), (2) the author refers on fol. 88<J U
to a work of his own entitled Shark gharlb
al-Qur'an (a work by al-Razi on this sub-
ject is mentioned by Hajjl Khallfah iv 331 s ),
(3) he is later than al-Zamakhsharl, whom
he mentions on foil. 800, 970, 99 b and
elsewhere.

Muhammad ibn Abl Bakr al-Razi, the
author of the Mukhtar al-Sihah (see Rieu
850), the Raudah al-fasahah (Rosen, In-
stitut, no. 108) and of other works, flourished
in the middle of the seventh century a.h.,
see Rieu 850 and Rosen, loc. cit.

For manuscripts of his As'ilah al-Qur'an
see Ahlwardt 706-8, Browne Suppt. 323,
Cairo 1 123 (5 copies), Casiri 1356-7,
1414-6, de Slane 623, 624 1, 625, Leyden

nople catalogues.

and 96/', the spaces for these and similar words having
been always left blank, presumably in order that they
might be filled in afterwards in red ink.

A similar work on the difficulties or
questions which suggest themselves to a
student of the Quran composed in the
year 1230/1814-15 by Muhammad Karim

table of contents prefixed to the volume as
Wa'iz Dihlawl (see no. 1 1 70).

The difficulties are dealt with in the
order in which they occur in the Quran
and the last relates to an expression in

Sharh al-Shatiblyah.

An inaccurate copy, defective both at
beginning and end, of a fairly large com-
mentary on al-Shatibi's Hirz al-amanl (see
no. 1 190).

It begins with the commentary on verse
1 38 and breaks off before the conclusion of

the comments on the fourth line from the
end of the poem.

The author refers on fol. 1 a to a certain
Siraj al-MilJah wa-'l-Dln, qari' al-sab'ah, as
his teacher d^i-Aj ^iU-l).

This commentary is not that of al-
Sakhawl (mentioned on fol. 184a) nor that
of al^Fasi {al-Ldali' al-faridah, mentioned
on foil. 141 b and 165/J), nor that of Shu'lah

_ An autograph copy, lacking the first leaf,
of a work on the text and pronunciation of
the Qur'an according to the tradition of
Hamzah ibn Hablb al-Kufl, one of the

al-'Uman. The author states in his preface
that he wrote the work for the Marnluk
Sultan Abu Sa'id Muhammad Jaqmaq
(reigned 1438-53 a.d.) and in the colophon
he gives the date of writing as 844/1440-1,

is a notice of a person who is presumably
identical with the author and who is called

al-Durr al-nazlm fi fada'il al-Qur'an
al-'azlm.

• •

A work on the magical virtues of the
Quran and the use of various passages in
it as charms, based mainly on Abu Bakr
Muhammad ibn Ahmad al-Ghassanl al-
Wadiyashl's al-Barq al-lami' wd l-ghailh
al-hami' (H. Kh. 11 1782), and a work by
al-Ghazali on the virtues (Mawass) of the
Qur'anic verses and of the cryptic letters
at the beginning of certain surahs.

According to J-IajjT Khallfah 111 4902 the
author of al-Durr al-nazim is Ibn al-
Kha shsh ab al-Yamanl (Abu Abd Allah
Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn 'Ubaid Allah
(ibn ?) Suhail al-Jauzi, cf. Brockelmann 1
414), who was no doubt, as Ahlwardt says,
"wol urn 650/1252 am Leben," since on
fol. 140a of this manuscript he says that
he heard Muhibb al-Dln al-Tabaii (who
was born in 6 10/12 13-4 according to al-
Subkl, but in 61 5/1 2 18-9 according to the
Tadhkirak al-Huffaz, and who died, ac-
cording to the latter, in 694/1295, cf.
Brockelmann 1 36 1) make a certain state-
ment.

It is said by Hajji Khallfah that an
epitome of Ibn al-Khashshab's work, about
half the size of the original, was made
by al-Yafi'I (Aflf al-Dln Abd Allah ibn
As'ad, who was born, according to al-
Dttrar al-kamiuah, two or three years
before 700/1 300-1 and who died in 768/
1367 1 according to the same authority and
al-Isnawi, Tabaqat (Loth 709) fol. 155a'),
and in the copyists' colophons of some
manuscripts bearing the title al-Durr al-
nazlm, as for example in the colophon of
no. 1 2 10 below, al-Yafi'I is said to be the
author. The same ascription is to be found
in the editions ((1) 1880? cf. Ellis 1 11,

1 Other dates avc yh'en by other authorities. Cf.
Brockelmann II 176.

In the absence of more detailed informa-
tion concerning the distinguishing features
of al-Yafi'1's epitome it must remain doubtful
whether a particular copy bearing the title
al-Durr al-naztm is the epitome or the
original. It may however be said that there
seems to be nothing either in this manu-
script or in no. 1 2 10 which would suggest
that they are copies of an epitome.

al-Qasam al-ilahl bi '1-ism al-rabbani.

A discussion by the celebrated Ibn

the Qur'ati, viz. Surahs i ! / 68, xv 92, xix
69, li 23, lxx 40.

The work is divided into five chapters
(for the headings of which see Ahlwardt

These chapters are preceded by some re-
marks in unnumbered fusut on the names
of God, and are followed' (fol. 60b) by five
short fustll in euphuistic rhymed prose
corresponding to the five chapters and
apparently intended to sum up their Sufistic

al-.Kalabadhl. Of this author little is known,
and various dates are given for his death.
H. Kh . in his notice of the present work
(n 3083) assigns his death to the year
380/990, and this is the date generally ac-
cepted: Ahlwardt, however, gives the date
390/1000, without quoting his authority.
On the front fly-leaf of the present copy the
following note has been added by the
copyist:

«l<Jj*!)t ^4*5 [sic] >UJI >«Uyj aJjjuM wjU£»

Another note in the same hand reads:

with which may be compared H. Kh .'s
words (loc. cit.):

In this copy the usual chapter-headings
have been omitted. The marginal notes, ex-
tracted from the commentary of al-Qpnawi
and in the copyist's own hand, are fairly
copious to fol. 32^; foil. 22, 23, 29, 31, and
35 are occupied entirely with notes, while
additional leaves with notes are inserted be-
tween foil. 6 and 7, and 7 and 8. There are
a few marginal and interlinear Persian
glosses in a later hand. The date given in
the colophon is not the date of this copy,
but of its original.

'Abd al-FIaqq al-DihlawI, from whose auto.-
graph this copy was made, was born in
958/i55i» entered the Qadirl order in 985/
1577, and went to the Hejaz in 996/1588,
where he remained for some years : he died
at Delhi in 105 2/ 1642. (See Rieu, Cata-
logue of the Persian Manuscripts in the
British Museum 14.)

Copies of this work are comparatively
common. See Ahlwardt 302 7 (extracts
from al-Qonawi's commentary compiled by
'All ibn Ahmad al-Manufi, d. 880/1457),
Fliigel 1888 (with commentary of al-
Qonawl), Nicoll-Pusey 253 (with commen-
tary of Shihab al-Din-al-Suhrawardl), etc.
For a short extract (containing part of the
preface only) see Loth 6576. The "text of
al-Kalabadhl was printed at Cairo in 1933-

al-Risalah al-Qushainyah.

A very old copy of the. well-known text-
book of Sufism by Abu '1-Qasim 'Abd al-
Karim ibn Hawazin al-Qushairl, who died

m 465/1074 (see Shadharat al-dhahab in
319). This copy is unfortunately imperfect,
the first 1 1 folios being missing, while ex-
tensive damage and the loss of many folios
throughout the volume have been repaired
by a very late hand. The work is fully
described in many places (cf . Ahlwardt
'in. 8-9): but in view of the remarkable
antiquity of this copy a detailed analysis is
given. Fol. 12 a (the first in this copy) is
much damaged and effaced, but begins
towar*ds the end of the section on Abu
Sulaiman al-Ta'i (printed on p. 16 of the
Cairo edition of 1 284/1867). In this ac-
count the Arabic foliation is given.

The commentary is about as full as that

600), but is not the same, nor is it identical
with that of 'Afif al-Din al-Tilimsani ( S ee
Ahlwardt 2828). Owing to the deficiencies
in this copy it is not possible to identify
this commentary with any of those noted
in Ritter's list (see No. 1222). Our com-
mentator quotes freely from his own verses
in illustration, as at fol. 58^ and fol. gii.

The above details show that al-jllani
made a practice of giving these sermons on
Sundays, Tuesdays and Fridays : those on
Tuesdays and Fridays in the School (<Uy jJ),
those.. on Sundays in the Monastery (J»Wj).
There are but two exceptions: -majlis 37 is
noted as taking place on a Friday in the
Monastery, and majlis 47 is dated for a
Monday in the School. Another far more
important fact, however, emerges from an
analysis of this list. In the year 545, 3 Sh.
was a Tuesday, not a Sunday; 2 DQ. was
a Tuesday, not a Sunday; 12 DH. was a
Sunday, not a Friday; 7)2 was a Sunday,
not a Friday; 2 Ra. was a Thursday, not
a Tuesday; 1 Sh' was a Thursday, not a
Tuesday; 3 Tim. was a Sunday, not a
Friday; 1 Sh. was a Sunday, not a Friday:
arid in the vear 546, 9 Ra. was a Monday,
not a Friday; 13 Sh . was a Wednesday,
not a Tuesday; 30 Sh. was a Friday, as
recorded. Now 3 Sh. 546 was a Sunday;
2 DQ. 546 was a Sunday; 12 DH. 546 was
a Friday; 7 J 2 546 was a Friday; 2 Ra.
543 was a Tuesday; 1 Sh' 546 was a Tues-
day; 3 Rm. 546 was a Friday; 1 Sh. 546
was a Friday; 9 Ra. 545 was a Friday;
13 Sh. 545 was a Tuesday. Either, there-
fore, these dates are wholly fictitious, or, as
seems more probable, there is a mistake in
the years assigned to them. Now the dates
given by H. Kh . for the first and the last
chapters of jJ»UJt »^ are Friday 9 Rajab
(no year given) and 24 Ramadan 546 respec-
tively. The former date, which, as we have
seen, must belong to the year 545, actually
is assigned to majlis 57 in our manuscript ;
the latter date is assigned to majlis 55: but
neither is the former the earliest, nor the
latter the latest date recorded, according
to our reconstruction. We may therefore
conclude that the recension now before us
is both different from and ampler than that
ofH. Kh,

The present work is a meditation on the
well-known Tradition of the Prophet:

I n a series of unnumbered J>*ai the author
enumerates the various ' ' veils " which in-
tervene between the mystic and God, and
describes the "stations" and "states"
through which he passes during his mystical
journey, seventy in all (fol. io<5). He then
discusses the condition of iiltl of which the
Prophet complained (in the Tradition), ex-
plaining that it is a spiritual sickness which
comes to every initiate, especially those of
the highest rank. He quotes the interpreta-
tions of this state attributed to al-Junaid
(fol. 15a), Abu Sa'id al-Kharraz (fol. 156)
and many others, and then gives his own
explanation (fol. i8<5-end).

[Delhi 3iod]

A fragment, foliated in arabic numerals
116^22 -and. J31-54, of a work on Sufi
discipline. This copy lacks both beginning
and end, and eight leaves have been lost
after fol. 128:. The author mentions two
works of his own, o'-J^ 1 J^. ^ o^^ j>^u
(fol. 128^) and ^bu^l v*P-» (fol. isoS).
Among the Sufis mentioned are Ibn
Masruq '(fol. 130a), Ibn Najid (fol. 131a),
Abu <Abd Allah Muhammad ibn Khafif.
who is called Ujn^j Ud**£, (fol. 133 £; died
in 331, see Rieu, Pers. Cat. 205), 'Abd al-
Rahim al-Istakhri (fol. 142 £), Abu Najib
ai-Suhrawardi (fol. 145^: died in 562/1 167).
Of the last-named the author relates a
personal anecdote; Suhrawardi was the
instructor of Baqli (see Nafahdt al-uns
288), so that it seems highly probable that
Baqli is the author of the present work.
The work, or at least this part of it, is not
divided into chapters or sections.

Two leaves follow (foil. 153-4), numbered

different nasta'liq hand. It seems most
probable that these leaves are a fragment
of another work, also on Sufism.

A compendium of Sufi ethics, by Abu

work, which was completed in 597/1200, is

by Ahiwardt (vn 660-1), and is based on
74 books by various authors, detailed by
al-Fariyabi in an appendix to the present

Risalah ila l-ha'im al-kha'if min
laurnah al-la'im.

A homiletic work on the ten virtuous
practices of the soul. The author of this
work according to H. Kh . (w 457) is
Muhammad ibn Muhammad Najm al-Din
al-Kubra (cf. vn 745 where the additional
names Nasr al-Din al-TusT are added by
one MS.) ; the colophon to the present copy
names as its author 'All al-Husaini al-
Hamadhani. i.e. 'AH ibn Shihab al-Din
al-Husaini al-Hamadhanl. This work is,
however, identical with o-o^W" vjSUtJt AILy
^5yjt <U>) described by Ahlwardt (m 123)
and attributed by him to Ahmad ibn 'Umar
ibn Muhammad al-Kubra al- Kha juql (see
Brockelmann 1 440), and it is certain that
this is the correct ascription, and that
H. Kh . is in error in giving the author's
names. Al-Khajuql was the author of
several works on Sufism, and died in 618/
1 221 (H. Kh. 11 381; Encyclopaedia of
Islam in 823).

tain of his friends, particularly Ahmad al-

Irshad al-murldln.

A short treatise on Sufism and the Sufi
discipline. The author's name and the title
of the work do not appear in this copy,
although a later hand in cursive nasta'llq
has added on the front fly-leaf the inscrip-
tion [sic] «4>>A- v^' ls* ^J • ^ seems certain
(see Bankipore Catalogue xm 54) that this
is. a work of Shihab al-Din al-Suhrawardi,
though it is not mentioned by Brockel-
mann: it is obviously not to be identified
with the work of the same title mentioned
by H. Kh. (1 252) as written by Ibn a.l-
Jauzi. The work is divided into 47 (un-
numbered) chapters, which are fully enu-
merated in the Bankipore Catalogue. A
comparison of these chapter-headings with
those of the Risdlah of al-Qushairl (see
No. 1219) makes it highly probable that the
present work is little more than a com-
pendium based on, but not extracted from,
that work. On fol. 220 al-Qushairi's defini-
tion of the wait (Risalaji ed. Cairo 1284/
1867 p. 153) is somewhat inaccurately
quoted; on fol. 25a the definition of adab
by Abu Nasr al-Sarraj (seeKitdb al-Luma'
ed. Nicholson p. 142 1. 19-p. 143 1. 14) is
cited, but in the garbled and abbreviated
form given by al-Qushairl (p. 168).

An analysis of the foregoing list, .and of
the sayings attributed to each individual
named, makes it clear that Ibn [al-]'ArabI
is using a literary device to give expression
to his own meditations. It will be observed
that with every name, the " father " or
"grandfather " is styled by some compound
of j-e, this compounded word being one or
other of the names of God; while the other
"person" in the "genealogy" is given, in
the great majority of cases, the name of one
of the Prophets: and the sayings attributed
to each individual form a meditation on the
name of God mentioned in the "genealogy".

prophetic source which varies with the in-

Lata'if al-a'lam fi isharat ahl al-ilhariL

A somewhat careless and very mutilated
copy of the dictionary of Sufi technical
terms ascribed alternatively to Ibn [al-J
'ArabI (Dozy 1 86), Sadr al-Dln al-
Qonawi (Ahlwardt in 258) and Jamal
al-Din al-Qashani (Loth 181). H, Kh.
mentions two works with almost identical
titles (v 315): of these, the former, which
has :>\**.^ll for ^1*5)1 , is evidently to be
identified with the present work, but of
this no author is named; the latter, which

has the exact title of the present work, is
ascribed to al-Kashanl (i.e. al-Qashani),
but no extract from it is given, so that it is
impossible to identify it. Brockelmann is
mistaken in treating the work under sepa-
rate authors (1 450, 11 204), as all known
copies are seemingly identical in contents.
The present copy bears no indication of
authorship.

who died in 656/1258 (see No. 1211;

A commentary on S«5UajJI ^sCaJI of Ibn

If this ascription is correct- — and it re-
ceives no confirmation from the text itself —
the author of the present work is Muham-
mad ibn 'Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Sa'igh
Shams al-Dln al-Nahawi, who was born
about 708/1308, wrote several well-known
grammatical works and commentaries (in-
cluding a commentary on Sjj-sloJI Sj**aU\

died in Sha'ban 776/1375 {Shadhardt al-

The commentary is a very full one, and
the author does not appear to quote from
any of the numerous other commentaries
on this work: this is therefore some support
for the ascription of the commentary to
Muhammad ibn al-Sa'igh, for it would be
the earliest of the commentaries preserved
(see Brockelmann 11 1 18). This copy is not
quite complete, and the text of Ibn- 'Ata'

An imperfect copy, lacking about the
last third of the whole work, of a recon-
struction of al-NafzI's commentary on
ieJU^JI^^Jl of Ibn 'Ata' Allah (see No.
1 33 ( >)- The author of this work is 'All ibn
Husam al-Din al-Hindi called al-Muttaql,
who died in 975/1567 (Buhar Catalogue
11 46) or 977/1569 (Ahlwardt vii 609) and
is otherwise known as the author of an
eschatological work entitled ^^1,^03

The purpose of the present work is to syste-
matise the commentary of al-Nafzi so as
to make it a convenient text-book for be-
ginners on the principles of the Sufi disci-
pline. The same author afterwards recon-
structed Zarruq's commentary on the same
work, dividing it into the same number of
chapters with the same headings (see Berlin

A discussion of the dilemma, in what
respect God can be said to be near to man
when he prays, seeing that He is exalted
above all creatures. The author of this
treatise, as appears from the exordium, is
the celebrated theologian Abu 'l-'Abbas
Ahmad ibn 'Abd al-Hallm ibn 'Abd al-
Salam ibn Taimlyah, who died in 728/1328
(see Shadhardt al-dhahab vi 80-5, Encyc. of
hi. 11 42 1-3). On fol. 20c the following title
is given:

al-'Urwah li-ahl al-khalwah
wa '1-jalwah.

A manual for the use of Sufis expound-
ing the doctrine of the Divine Unity and
other cardinal beliefs of Islam, and setting
forth the true nature of Sufism as an
orthodox religion and a right discipline.
The author of this rare work is Abu '1-
Makarim Ahmad ibn Muhammad al-
Simnanl, who died in 740/1339 {Shadhardt
al-dhahab vi 125). 1 According to the
author's own statement (fol. lb) this work
was begun in the mosque of Sufiyabad
towards the end of Ramadan 720/1320, and
was completed (fol. 115a) on 23 Muharram
721/1321 (cf. H. Kh . iv 197-8). This was
the first copy of the work, in the author's
own hand; but at the request of Abu
'1-Barakat TaqI al-Dln All al-DusI al-
Simnanl the author made 'another copy

1 Brockelmann (u 1 66) gives 70^:336 as the date of
his death.

(fol. 1 15^), which was completed on i
Jumada 1 722/1322. It is curious that rl. Kh.
in his account of the work should state
that it was written in Persian (loc, cit.).

Mukhtasar fi ( ilm al-akhlaq.

A short tract on ethical philosophy, by
the famous theologian and philosopher
!Adad al-Din 'Abd al- Rahman ibn Ahmad
al-Iji (d. 756/1355, see H. KJi. 1 204,:or
754/ I 353» see Shadhardt al-dhahab vi 174).
The present work is known under several
titles. In the colophon to this copy it is
styled (jfjL-ot J^-M, H. j£h. (loc. cit) calls
it otj}\ a-ift (3*^-1, while Ahlwardt (v 10)
gives the title i5^U.^I j^s. ^ <L*UJt aiL*pi.
The title here given is that which occurs in
the exordium of the work itself.

Berlin manuscript, but is identical with
that with which the same author's ji5U*)l

H. Kh . in his account of the work does not
quote the opening phrase.

A commentary on al-Iji's tract on ethical

this copy, but it is certain that it must be
identified with the commentary mentioned

Jami' al-asrar wa-manba' al-anwar.

A text-book of Sufi doctrine, showing
its essential agreement with orthodox Shi'ite
theology, by Haidar ibn 'All al-'Ubaidi
al-Amili. This copy does not bear either
title or name of author, except for a notice
on the front fly-leaf by a later hand: its
opening, however, agrees with that quoted
by I'jaz Husain (p. 151). Of this autho.
little appears to be known, except that he
was a contemporary of Muhammad ibn al-
Hasan al-Hilli (see Buhar Catalogue 11 242 ;
d. 771/1369): it may therefore perhaps be
conjectured that he is to be identified with
Haidar ibn 'All al-Shlraz! (d. 785/1383)
mentioned by Ibn al-Tmad {Shadhardt al-
dhahab vi 287), who lived at Damascus,
but afterwards removed to India, where he
died by drowning. He is mentioned in the

al-Risalah al-Makklyah.

A manual of Sufism ascribed in the Cairo
Catalogue (vn 1 2) to 'Aflf al-Dln 'Abd
Allah ibn As'ad al-Yafi'i (d. 768/1367), but
attributed in a note On fol. 2560 of this
copy to Qutb al-Dln Dimashqi. The latter
attribution receives some support from the
fact that H. Kh. (in 445) mentions a work
of this name under the authorship of
Qutb akDln 'Abd Allah ibn Muhammad
ibn Aiman al-Isfahidl: and the Bankipore
Catalogue has accepted this ascription, and
shows that the author belongs to the 8/ 14th
century (xni 177), since he mentions that
the Shaikh of his Shaikh was 'Abd al-
Rahman Kasraql (d. 700/1300). The author
relates in his preface that this book was
written at Mecca, and then revised and

enlarged at Damascus. For the <->•>>) and

'Ain al-'ilm.

A manual of ascetism. Concerning the
authorship and nature of this work there is
considerable confusion. H. Kh . mentions
the work twice: under the name given
above, by which it is generally known
(iv 283), and under the title d^jWI ^aU<.,
which is the title given by Ahlwardt (in
112), but which appears to derive no sup-
port from the text. In his first notice,
H . Kh., quoting from the commentary on
the work written by 'All ibn Sultan
Muhammad al-Qari' (see No. 1357), ex-
presses the two conflicting views, that its
author was an Indian, and that it is the
work of a scholar of Balkh; he then adds
that some authorities confirm that Muham-
mad ibn 'Uthmanal-Balkhi was the author.
In his second notice, H. Kh . attributes the
work to 'Abd Allah ibn 'Abd al-Rahman
al-Mada'ini. The latter view is adopted by
Ahlwardt, who failed to observe H. Kh.'s
first notice: and he is followed by Brockel-
mann. [It should be noted that the ir*)**,
j>ijla)l of Sulami; (Ahlwardt, 2821) is a
totally different work.] On the fly-leaf of
this copy Muhammad ibn 'Uthman al-
Balkhi is named as the author: he is known
for his philological work >»~iH w > XjW
and for a commentary entitled u* 1 "^ 1 Jv^*"
on al-Damamlni's ^l^llyl^] and Loth
(269) shows that he must have been
writing at least as early as 800/1397-8.
Concerning the nature of the work, Stewart
(139) first conjectured that it was an
abridgement of al-Ghazali's chj& >>** »l*»-',
on the authority of a note in the India
Office copy of the work (see Loth 190):
it will be seen that this note is a quotation

' Possibly to be identified with the secretary of the
Emperor Aurangzeb, author of^lft >l£a-l, who died in
1139/1726 (see Beale 179; Rieu, Catalogue of Pers. MSS.
in Brit. Mus. 4016).

from al-Qari "s commentary; and on that
ground the Bankipore Catalogue supports
this view. Loth (iiid.) and Ahlwardt (for
other reasons) reject this hypothesis. Al-
Qari"s statement is (No. 1357, fol. ia):

The contents of this work tend to show,
however, that it is an original composition:
and al-Qari' probably means no more than
that it uses al-Ghazali as a first authority.

Sharh Adillah al-tauhid.

An autograph copy, lacking perhaps two
folios at the beginning, of a commentary

' The text as quoted is conjecturally restored.

167

on the Adillah al-tauhid, a Sufi treatise
on the Divine Unity by 'All ibn Ahmad
al-Maha'iml (d. 835/1431, see No. 1328).
The commentator, who in this copy, so far
as it extends, does not mention his name,
states in the colophon that this work was
written during his seventy-seventh year:
the date, which is partially effaced, is
almost certainly 990/1582.

The colophon reads as follows:

\>»[. . . .] l».j[. .] AJl&jV *^-*U o 1 ^ ^jW
-J I jk.pT* « Uj^Jj U^~y Sjjk.& ^yo tL»L» a .«.« 3 j

The incomplete word can only be read
^(ji-j, not L>s«*-<, for it was in 990 only of
these alternatives that 14 Sha'ban fell on a
Monday.

The Adillah al-tauhid is mentioned as a
work of Maha'imi in the Tadhkirah i 'ulamd
i Hind (147). It appears to be a short,
continuous work, without any division into
chapters, and arrays the various arguments
proving God's unity. The commentary is
ample in content, and the commentator
several times quotes as an authority "my
brother Shaikh Ahmad".

A commentary on a work entitled »!>»
JSUaJI, which is a mystical-metaphysical
treatise on the grades of existence, with the
central doctrine of the Perfect Man as in-
carnate in the "Idea of Muhammad"
(5_>jm»~«-ll Ai-^-S-oJt). The author of the
original states (fol. 99 a) that this is a
translation of the well-known Persian work
entitled i^Ui o\*- >^-» by Muhammad
Shlrln ibn 'Izz al-Din al-Maghribl, who
died in 809/1406-7 (see Ethe, Pers. Cat.
1080). No indication is given in this copy
as to the name of the translator or of the
commentator. It seems improbable that
this i^UJ oWA is t0 be identified with
the work of the same name mentioned by
H. Kh. (11. 3857) and by him attributed to
Mir Ghiyath al-Din Mansur ibn Mir Sadr

dote is related concerning the maternal
great-grandfather (^1 w>l C*') of the author,
one 'Abd al-Haqq Ahmad, who is perhaps
to be identified with the Chishti Shaikh of
that name who died in 837/1434 at the age
of 120 (see Ethe, Cat. oj Pers. MSS. in
the India Office 335). On fol. 21 b begins
a long discussion of the question whether
God may be seen in this world, and how
His vision is attained. On fol. 22b there
is a quotation from a work which is in-

Risalah fi Iman Fir'aun.

A tract bearing no title or indication of
authorship, but which is identical with the
{j**** Oyrj* O^' u* al -y (see Ahlwardt 11
460, and cf. id. in 239, where it is styled
Of*** O^ J** - 3 ) of Muhammad ibn As'ad
al- Dawanl. This tract is based on a Qur'anic
text (Surah x 90) and is a defence of Ibn
[al-]'Arabi against the charge of unortho-
doxy in connection with his doctrine that
Pharaoh was a Believer. See No. 1146,
where another copy of this work is de-
scribed; H. Kh. in 372.

a!~jawahir wa'1-durar (al-Wusta).

A n incomplete copy, lacking seven folios
••it the beginning, of a rare work by
list famous polygraph 'Abd al-Wahhab
il'jn Ahmad al-Ansarl al-Sha'rani (or al-
;".;l;ia'rawi) who died in 973/1565 (see Shadh-
c.rdt al-dhahab vm 372). In this work he
jjives an account of the doctrine of his Sufi
J taster 'All al- Kh auwas (see al-Tabaqdt
".'. knbra u 175-97), reproducing in the
loiiu of question and answer the salient
points of his mystical doctrine. In the
c: oidium (which is wanting in this copy)
ilte author states that the book was
written at the request of certain friends,
;jjid he asserts that he is to be excused
ior any inaccuracies, explaining that 'All
m1- Kh auwas could not write, and that he
can only therefore report what he re-
members of conversations which he held
with him over a period of ten years (see
H. Kh , 11 650-1). This work was issued
in three recensions (see Brockelmann 11
ytf). The first (vj>-£>l) was published in
940/1533, while the second (jjkwjM), of
which this is a copy, was published on
:..' 1 Ramadan 942/1536 (see Cairo Cata-
logue 11 78 and fol. 159a of this manu-
script). It is to this second recension that

Nafa'is al-anfas fi nisbah al-khirqah
wa'1-ilbas.

A treatise setting forth the history and
principles of the investiture of the Sufi
robe AS>JI. This copy, which is somewhat
defective at the commencement, gives no
clue to the correct title of the work: but
the title given above is written (in a later
hand) on the fly-leaf of the manuscript of
which this work is a part; and it also occurs
on fol. yd of the oU-l-^u which precede it
(see No. 1389). On fol. 7 a, however, another
writer refers to it as l^J J> iw 3Jk S ol^p

fr^*^^'- The author of thi s work is
Abd al-Qadir ibn Shaikh ibn 'Abd Allah
ibn Shaikh ibn 'Abd Allah al-'Aidarus al-
Alawi (d. 1038/1628, see Brockelmann 11
418-19): he names his father on fol. 366
The work (so far as it is possible to judge)
begins with a nuniyah setting forth the
tsnad of the khirqah: this passage is badly
defaced in the present copy, and the treatise
proper begins:

*i> [...]<Ui*) ^ *) j^i 3 ^ afil^Jl »>£)!

The author thus sets forth in general
terms the fundamental orthodoxy of the
Sufis, and outlines the theory of the trans-
mission (jjb) of the as^. On fol. 26a he
describes a ceremony at which such an in-
vestiture takes place, and then enumerates
the various j*>U quoted by the Sufis.
This leads up to the main purport of the
book, which is the tracing of the author's
own jUwI.

Fol. 36a:
oJiyt ^*iJi ^jlw o' ^*l« IJ* c-«JU lit

With these words the author gives an
account of his father, his grandfather, and
others of his ancestors, tracing back step by
step to his spiritual genealogy to Shu'aib
ibnal Husainal-Maghribl(fol. 53^), through
whom the connection is established with
al-Ghazall (fol. 60a) and through him to
the great mystics, and finally to 'All ibn
Abl Talib (fol. 83a), Muhammad, Gabriel,
and God (fol, 87 4). In a A*jU. (fol. 89a)
the author points out that the actual in-
vestiture of the khirqah is only traced back
to al-S_hibli and al-Junaid: beyond that
point it is necessary to speak of a *•*««, an
association, and it is through this associa-
tion that the genealogy eventually mounts
to God.

The author illustrates his doctrines,
which are those of the school of Ibn [al-]
'Arabl; with quotations from the Qur'dn,
and from ancient (Greek) and modern
philosophers and theosophists. The so-
called " Theology " of Aristotle is frequently
cited, as also Ibn [al-]'Arabi's *-£»!! oU>tfM
and ^*-)l »>>>-»* (with various commen-
taries), Jalal al-Din Rumi's (j>i**)i c^^'.
and numerous other well-known works. A

'Aqa'id al-khawass.

A treatise on dogmatic theology ac-
cording to the Sufis. The author's name is
nowhere mentioned in this copy, but in
another copy (No. 1393) the work is
ascribed to Muhibb Allah IlahabadI, a
well-known Indian Sufi scholar who died
in 1058/1648 (see Tadhkirah i 'ulama i
Hind 175, No. 1279). From the colophon it
appears that this work was dictated in a
period beginning 21 Jumada n 1047/1637

and ending 5 DhQ '1-Qa'dah of the same
year: this statement would therefore lend
support to the ascription of the work to
Muhibb Allah Ilahabadi. Moreover, the
general style of the book, and the frequent
quotations from the *£*J\ ^>^ of Ibn [al-]
'ArabI, tend to confirm his authorship. In
the list of his works given in the Tadhkirah
(supra), the following titles appear: ?>kL«

v*\yLj\ ,^u s^u, ^riJi. Another of
his works preserved in this collection (No.
1279) is entitled v*^\ ^\U, It seems
certain therefore that this work is of the pen
of Muhibb Allah. The author has given his
book the alternative title of »tt>*)l J$[h , in
view of its division into twenty-one chapters
called Ji\h. These are as follows:

A work of encyclopaedic scope exposing
the various errors into which men have
fallen in matters connected with religion

named in the present copy, but in the list
of the works of Muhibb Allah Ilahabadi

doubtless that is to be identified with this
book. This copy is not complete, for of the

Tarjamah al-kitab.

A comprehensive work setting forth the
general theological and mystical system of
the Sufis. The name of the author does not
occur in this copy, but on the fly-leaf of
the author's own commentary (see No. 1397)
it is attributed to Muhibb Allah Ilahabadi,
and internal evidence confirms this ascrip-
tion. The author gives his work the alterna-
tive title of a*jj^I s-* 3 !** 11 (fol. \b of the
commentary), in view of its division into
four sections called <^j\r». He acknow-
ledges that the ^&*J I u^y^of Ibn[al-]'Arabi

A commentary on the fourth section
(a^) of the preceding work, by the author

himself. This commentary is ascribed on
the front fly-leaf to Muhibb Allah Ilaha-
badi, and it is possible that this is an
autograph copy. The author explains that
since writing the wA^M a*^p he had read

decided to expand the fourth section of
that book with references to that and the
well-known Sufi works. This commentary

Tahiti mu'dilat Ibn al-'Arabi.

An excellent copy of a work explaining
difficulties which occur in the writings of
Ibn [al-J'Arabl (especially _*£»~>l c^s-aj) and
defending that famous theosophist against
the strictures of the orthodox theologians.
The author of this work (see fol. \a) is
Amr Allah ibn Munir Allah al-Bahari,
who informs us (fol. 2d) that he had written
another work entitled Sj*. 3 jj^p ^ a^Uj aJLit
i>"?-y I : the present book is dedicated (fol. 2 b)
to Khandauran Bahadur Samsam al-Dau-
lah, who was Amir al-umara' at the court
of the Moghul emperor Muhammad Shah,
and was killed in the year 1151/1738 (see

The author explains that the obscurities
with which Ibn [al-]'ArabI is charged are
of two kinds: those connected with the
doctrine of Divine Unity (j>».yi Jj— 5 ), and
those not connected therewith. He pro-
ceeds to analyse passages from ,*£=»Jl ^o^ai
according to these two classes. His pro-
cedure is, first to quote the relevant passage ;
then to state the difficulty (JUc^l); and
finally to resolve it (JAe^H). This section
ends with a i»3U., beginning on fol. 1530:
this A«3U. is divided into three J^ai:

The work is ascribed in the colophon to

ascription is accepted by Krafft and Pertsch,
followed by Brockelmann: but the exor-
dium quoted is identical with that cited by
H. Kh . as the opening of' ^a.^\ iJLyJI of

however, that a treatise bearing the same
name by iJjQ\, also cited by H. Kh .. begins
in a very similar way: u»J ^*UI <dJ «^«»Ji

ever, a commonplace. If the author of the
present work is al-BulbanT, and not lbn

to be identified with the Abu 'Abd Allah

Mir'ah al-'arifin.

An anonymous work, purporting ap-
parently to be written by either al- Hasan
or al-Hus'ain, according to the following
statement on fol. 96:

^i ^ Ch^i^ 1 [•«"'] j*?' ^i Jis Us> >*&

" e

A book with this title is mentioned but
not described by H. Kh. (v 483) and there
attributed to Ibn [al-]'ArabI.

The work is a fanciful disquisition on the
Surah al-Fdtihak, and begins:

On foil. 2b~2,a we read:

expounds the doctrine of al-Insdnal-kdmil
according to the theosop'hical interpreta-
tion of the school of Ibn [al-]'ArabI. On
fol. 13 a he returns to the esoteric inter-
pretation of the Fdtihah, and with this the
treatise ends:

Baghdad, where he died in 507/1 114, Abu
Nasr b. al-Sabbagh, author of the Shdmil,
having been one of his predecessors in
office (Ibn Khallikan, tr. de Slane 11 625).
This Ibn al-Sabbagh is mentioned on
fol. 57^ of the manuscript. The work is
usually, however, attributed to al-Qaflal
al-Shashl.

H. Kh. v 81 calls the work Kitab al-

of the profundities of the Usui al-fiqh of

The first volume of a work on Shl'ah fiqh,

name of the author is not given, but he states
that he was asked by Miqdad b. 'Abd
Allah al-Suyurl (?al-Najafi; c. 800/1397,
for whom see Brockelmann 11 199) to com-
pile from his own Qur'anic commentary a

He calls this commentary ^-—i^l £>$.£■

Ahmad ibn Muhammad al-Siwasi, who
died at some time after 880/1475 (see
Brockelmann 11 228 and the reference there
to Shaqd'iq al-Nu'mamyalj) and who, from

author of the present work. He likens him-
self in the preface to Hariri who followed in

A reply by the 'ulama of Mecca to a
query from Shahjahanabad on the point
whether the reading of the Dald'il al-
khairdf (by Jaztih"; cf. Brockelmann 11
252 (4)) is to be reckoned an act of piety or
of heresy. The Dai&'il consists of adula-
tions upon the Prophet and the reading of
it was regarded by the Wahhabls as bid' ah,
a view rejected by the 'ulama in this reply.
