KITAB AT-TAISIR.

A well-known treatise on the seven principal " Readings " of
the text of the Kur'an, by ^J^sJl ^ibJJ ojl*« ^ w Lk ^ yi )
Abu 'Amr 'Uthman bin Sa'id'W-Danf al-Kurtubi. He was born
in Denia in Spain in AH. 371, A.D. 981 and made the pilgrimage
to Mecca in A.H. 397, A.D. 1006. He remained four months at
Kairawan and a year at Cairo. On his return he settled in his
native town and died there in A.H. 444, A.D. 1063. For details
of the author's life see al-Makkari, Vol. 'I., p. 560; Yakut, Vol. II.,
p. 540; Wiistenfeld, Gesch. No. 197; Noldeke Gesch. d. Qoran^
p. 336; and Brookeloann, Gesch. d. Arab, Litter. Vol. I., p. 407.

Beginning:- # ^ ^ ^^ ^b tydj) & ^«J|

The author says in the preface that he composed the present
short work on the seven " Readings " of the text of the Kur'an
at the request of his friends and pupils, and concerning each reading
he quotes two reliable " narrations " of that " Reading." Before
dealing with the "Readings" of the text of the Kur'an, the
author gives a short account of the " Seven Readers " of the text
of the Kur'an and some of their pupils.

considerable time. It is regrettable and surprising that there should
be so great an uncertainty as regards the date of al-Baidavi's
death, whose name is universally familiar to all students of Arabic
literature. Aocording to Taj al-'Urus, Vol. V., p. 11, and Iktifa
al-Kunu', p. 11*, he. died in A.H. 601, A.D. 1291; Mir'at ah
Janan (library copy). Vol. II., fol. 3136, and Habib as-Siyar, Vol.
III., juz' I, p. 77, place the date one year later, i.e. A.H. 692,
A.D. 1292; Tarikh-i-Guzida (Gibb Memorial edition), p. 118 oalls
him Naslr ad-Din Abu Sa'd (according to Haji Khalifa, Vol. I., p.
469, Abu Sa'id) 'Abdallah bin Muhammad bin 'Ali a]-Baidavi;
and gives A.H. 605, A.D. 1208, as the date of his death. Miftah-
as-Sa'ada, Vol. I., p. 436 mentioned two dates — A.H. 641, A.D.
1243, and A.H. 686, A.D. 1286; as-Suyuti, in Bughyat al-Wu'at,
p. 286, points to A.H. 685, A.D. 1286, and A.H. 691, A.D. 1291.
But in my opinion his death took place in A.H. 686, A.D. 1286,
as this date is given by Miftah as-Sa'ada (Vol. I., p. 436) on the
authority of as-Salah as-Safadi (d. A.H. 764, A.D. 1362) who
again bases the authenticity of this date, A.H. 686, A.D. 1286,
on the authority of Najm ad-Din Sa'id ad Dehli, nearest in
point of time to al-Baidavi. See also Nuzhat al-Jalis, Vol. II., p.

This commentary is chiefly based on az-Zamakhshari's al-
Kashshaf, but in it the author has added much matters in refuta-
tion of Mu'tazilite doctrines, and other matters drawn from other
sources. It is the favourite commentary of the Sunnis in the east.

brought up at Siyalkut in the Punjab. He was the pupil of
Mawlana Kamal ad-Din al-Kashmlrl and was regarded by his
contemporaries as a most sound and perfect soholar. During the
time of the Emperor Jahanglr (A.H. 1014-1037, A.D. 1605-1628)
he was teaohing students in his native land, but in the Emperor
Shah Jahan's reign (A.H. 1037-1069, A.D. 1628-1659) he came to
Dehli. The Emperor received him with marked consideration
and favour, bestowed on him several villages as J&'igir and or-
dered him to teaoh students and oompoie books. He died on the
18th Rabr I, A.H. 1067, A.D. 1656. Azad Bilgirami in Subhat

mad bin 'Uinar al-Khafajl al-Misrl. He first studied under his
uncle, Abu Baler ash-Shanawanl and then became a pupil of Shaikh
al-Islam Muhammad ar-Ramli and other eminent 'Ulama of his
time. After finishing his studies, he proceeded with his parents on
a pilgrimage to Mecca From there he came to Constantinople and
soon became a Kadi in Romailia. Sultan Murad being convinced
of his ability, appointed him a Kadi of Salonica. Later on he
was given the Kadlship of Egypt, but owing to some reason or
other he ■ was. dismissed from his post. He then undertook a
journey to Constantinople. First ho went to Damascus and then
to Aleppo and 'from there he arrived at Constantinople. Yaha bin
Zakaiiya, the chief mufti of the Capital, refused to receive him,
but later on he became favourably disposed towards him and al-
Khafajl was again given the Kadiship of Egypt. He died on the
lach Ramadan, A.H. lOfiH, 23rd May, A.D. 1 658. For details,

AL-HASHIYA 'ALA ANWAR AT-TANZIL.

of SQrat al-Hamd by ^jii^xJl ,-v^l ^c ^ ^ '_. iU Mulla
Hamid bin 'Abd ar-Rahim al-Jawnpurl. He was an eminent scho-
lar of Jawnptir. As he could not prosper in his native land, he
came to Dehli where he was included by .Shah 'Alam (A.H. 1173
-1202, A.D. 1759-1788) among the learned men of his court.
Later on he became a tutor of the prince Abu Nasr Mu'In ad-Din
Muhammad (Akbar II, A.H. 1221-1253, A.D. 1806-1837). In the
last part of his life, he returned to his native place where he died.
See Tajalli Nur, p. 93.

Beginning : —

The author says in the preface that during his lectures on-
al-Baidavi, he found that many commentators of it had not paid
sufficient attention to some abstruse passages of the book and had
remained very far from grasping the real sense of them. Conse-
quently he had been led to prepare a supercommentary of al-
Baidavi in order to explain the more subtle and difficult points of
the said work.

Half of fol. 10a and the whole of fol. 106 are blank. The
last six foil, have been replaced, evidently not long ago.

There is in the Rampur Library a commentary on the Kuran
entitled Tafsir Shahl. Unfortunately that commentary is also in-
complete and covers the first three chapters. Its author is Ahmad

2856-287 the copyist leaves larger space between the lines than
usual in the MS. One volume of the MS. seems to have been

Regarding its author, Dr. Loth, in his Catalogue of the India

Office, No. J 14, says, ." It is ascribed to the celebrated Ghazali (d
A.H. 506)." On fo!. 135a the author mentions as his own work
the Kitab al-Ahya' (admitted on all hands to be a work of al-
Ghazall); so there oan be no doubt that the book under notice
was, indeed, written by that al-Ghazali. His full name was is^

After studying m his native land, he went to jurjan for further
studies and then proceeded to Naisabur where he sat at the feet of

died A.H. 478 A.D. 1085 (for his life sen Do Slane, Ibn Khallikfa
Vol II., p. 120), under whose instruction he became a profound
scholar. t After toe death of his master he attached hjmself to the
famous Vizir Nizam al-Mulk (for his life see De Slane, Ibn

of Dhu 1 Ka'da, A.H. 488, November, A.D. 1095, he gave up all
the occupations in which he had been hitherto engaged and gave
himself up to asceticism and dervishhood. He then undertook
the pilgrimage to Mecca and, on his return, proceeded to Syria
and stopped for sometime at Damascus. Ho then set out for
Jerusalem, where he applied himself with ardour to the practices
of devotion and visited the holy monuments and venerated
spots of that sacred ground. He next passed on to Egypt and
remained for some time at Alexandria, and finallv returned to his
native land, where he died in A.H. 505, A D. 1111.

The word Qhazall is also pronounced' with double Z as
Wiazzali De Slane in the translation of Ibn Khallikan's Bio-
graphical Dictionary, Vol. I., p. 80 says, " Ghazzali is a derivative
from G^azzal (cotton spinner), formed after the system generallv
followed by the people of Khawarizm and Jurjan, who form
Jiassar (a fuller) from Kassari; and form 'Attar (a druggist) from
Awn- Some pronounce Ghazali with a single Z, deriving it from
^lazala, the name of a village in the dependencies of Tus • but
this pronunciation differs from the one in general use, though as-
Samani has adopted it in his Ansab." For his life, see Ibn

This commentary is narrated by Muhammad bin Ibrahim bin
Ja'far an-Nu'mani on the authority of his father and others from
the said Tmam. an-Nu'mani was a pupil of Muhammad bin
Ya'kQb al-Kulaini who died in A.H. 328, AD. 939 or A.H. 329,
A.D. 940 (vide Rawdat al-Jannat, p. 550) and was a recognised
authority on Hadlth. He died in Syria. For other particulars of
his life see Ami al-Amil, p. 58; Muntaha'l Makal, p. 252; Shu-
JDhur al-Ikyan, Vol. II., fol. 17 ; and Rawdat al-Jannat, p. 565.

Dr. Loth in his catalogue of the India Office, No. 50, states
that Abu'l Hasan 'All bin Ibrahim (bin Hashim al-Kumnil),
who flourished in the fourth century, is the author of a commentary
founded chiefly on the alleged sayings of Imams Abu Ja'far
(Muhammad Bakir) and Abu 'Abdallah (Ja'far as-Sadik). The
general description of the book, which is given in the said cata-
logue, showa that the MS. under notioe is identical with that of
the India Office, and I am of opinion that the narrator of the
commentary is Muhammad bin Ibrahim bin Ja'far an-Nu'mani
and not 'All bin Ibrahim bin Hashim al-Kuinml as supposed by
the learned dootor. No doubt al-Kumml is also an author of a
commentary which begins as follows : —

But his commentary is not founded on the authority of Imam
Ja'far. See Kashf al-Hujub, p 131. The only commentary
which is composed on the sayings of the said Imam is by an-
Nu'manl. See Kashf al-Hujub wa'l Astar, p. 130 ; and also Bihar
al-Anwar, Vol. I., p. 7, in which the author, Muhammad bin
Muhammad at-Taki al-MajlisI, has included this whole commen-
tary in the 19th Vol. of the said book whioh deals with Kitab al
Kur'an.

TAFSIR AL-IMAM AL-'ASKARI.

A commentary on the Kur'an by >u^ ^ ^U ^> ^-asJJ ,LJ)
^j^XWl al-Imam al-Hasan bin 'All bin Muhammad al-'Askan.
He was born at Madina in. A.H. 231, A.D. 845 or A.H. 232, A.D.
846 and died, A.H. 260, A.D. 874. He is considered by the Shl'a
theologians as the eleventh Imam. See for his life Ibn Khallikan
/Teheran edition), Vol. I., p. 147, Mir' at al-Janan (library copy),
Vol. I., fol. 217; Tarlkh Guzlda, p. 207- ; and Saflnat al-Awliya\
p. 29.

Shl'a scholars differ in opinion about the authorship of the
present commentary. Some authorities consider it to be fraudu-
lently attributed to the said Imam, while trustworthy authorities,
like Abu Ja'far Muhammad bin 'All bin Babuya al-Kumml, known
as ash-Shaikh as-Saduk, d. A.H. 381, A.D. 991 (see for his life
No. 60) and others believe it to be the work of the said Imam.
al-MajlisI in his famous work Bihar al-Anwar, Vol. I., p. 9, has also
supported the latter view and said that the commentary is one
of the known and reliable books and that many learned scholars
profusely quoted from it. See also Muntaha'l Makal, p. 288 ; Kashf
al-Hujub Wa'l Astar, p. 129. gbah 'Abd al-'AzIz ad-Dehlavi, in
Tuhfa Ithna 'Asharlya, p. 119, considers it to be a spurious work.

Isa Muhammad bin 'Tsa at-Tir'niidhl. lie was born at Bfndi near
Tirmidh, a small town on the bank of the Oxus in Central Asia. He
studied Traditions under al-Bukhari (died, A.H. 256, A.D. 869) and
travelicd all over the Islamic countries in search of Traditions. He
died in his native land in A.H. 279, A.D. 892. About the pronun-
ciation 'of the word Tirmidh, Dr. Slano in his translation of Ibn
Khallikan, Vol. II., pp. 602 and 679 says : " The word Tirmidji. is
pronounced differently. Some say Turmulh, and some Tirmidji, ;
the inhabitants themselves pronounce it Tar midh ; the pronuncia-
tion whioh was long familiar to us was Tirmidh ; but persons, who
pretend to exactness and possess information on the subject, pro-
nounce it Turmwlh. Each of these pronunciations ^ as its partisans,

\s)J^ ] ^ is^. 1 — O^**- 1 ' Ma J dad-Din Abu's Sa'adat Mubarak bin

Abi'l Karam Muhammad bin Muhammad ash-Shaibanl, known
as Ibn al-Athlr al-Jazari. He was born in A.H. 544, A.D. 1149
in the city called Jazira bin 'Umar, situated on the Tigris,
and hence he is surnamed al-Jazari After passing his early
youth in that place he went to Mosul and entered into the
service of Mujahid ad-Din Ka'imaz (for, his life, see De Slane,
Vol. II , p 510), the Lieutenant-Governor of that place, and
was employed by him to write his correspondence. After the
imprisonment of Ka'imaz he served 'Izz ad-Din Mas'ud bin
Mawdud, the Lord of Mosul. After that prinoe's death, his
son Nur ad-Din Arsalan Shah (see De Slane, Vol. I., p. 174) treat-
ed Ibn al-Athlr with much consideration and showered his favours
upon him. Ibn al-Athlr served him for some time in the capacity
of Secretary of State/till a disease prevented him from further
fulfilling the duties of his office. He gave up that appointment
and confined himself to his house where he wrote many useful
books. He died at Mosul on Thursday, the 29th Dhu'l Hijja,
A.H. 606, June, A.D. 1209. ~~ "'

There were three persons known by the surname of Ibn a'-

second brother was the well-known historian, the author_of al-
Kamil; his full name was Abu'l Hasan 'All bin Abi'l Karam
Muhammad bin Muhammad ash-Shaibam, known as Ibn al-Agur
al-Jazari ; he died in Sha'ban A.H. 630, May-June, A.D. 1233 (for
his life, 86 Be Slane, Ibn Khallikan, Vol. II., p. 288). The third
brother was Diya* ad-Din Abu'l Fath Nasrallah bin Abi 1 Kjram
Muhammad bin Muhammad ash-Shaibani, known as Ibn d-A&ir
al-Jazari, the author of al-Mathal as-Sa'ir fi Adab a ^atib

mentary of Mishkat al-Masablh, Vol. III., p. 17, had denied
the authorship of this commentary by as-Saiyid ash-Sharif al-
Jurjanl and gave two reasons in support of his statement. The
first reason is that this commentary is not mentioned in the list
of the works by al-Jurjanl, and the second is that it is incon-
ceivable that an author of such erudition and distinction could
have been satisfied by merely abridging the work of at-Taiyibl
without adding any comments of his own. These are the words

I am personally inolined to ascribe the authorship of this com-
mentary to al-Jurjani, notwithstanding the two above argu-
ments which 'All al-Karl puts forward against such an assump-
tion, for the f ollowing reasons : —

as-SakhavI in his work ad-Daw al-Lami' mentions, on the
authority of a great-grandson of al-Jurjani this book among
his other works. Then, again, it is not oorrect to say that the
book is a mere abridgement of at-Taiyibi's work. al-Jurjani ha»
added remarks and comments of his own, though, indeed, their
number is small. Further Hajl Khalifa, Vol. V., p. 568, remarks
that as-Saiyid ash-gharif wrote a commentary on al-Mishkat.

Though the book begins abruptly, its identity has been
established by the fact that a passage which the Mirkat al-Mafatlh
quotes from al-Jurjani's commentary, Vol. III., p. 16. is also found
in this book, on fol. 1556.

The commentary without any preface begins on fol. 46 as
follows : —

Foil. l-4a contain a treatise by al-Jurjani on the science of
Tradition and the teohnical terms used in it. This treatise
begins: —

to elucidate their meanings and to explain in a concise manner

TADJIKIRAT AL-MAWpU'AT.
A treatise on Traditions falsely attributed to the Prophet,
b yu« ,| u li ^^ ^ a*su. Muhammad bin Tahir bin 'All
al-Fatani. He was born at Patan in Gujarat, A.H. 914 AD
1508. ^ After completing the course of education in his native
land^ he proceeded to Mecca for higher studies. He studied
Iraditions there with eminent scholars, such as Ibn Haiaral-
Haitami, who died A.H. 973, A.D. 1565 (see No. 44) and others.
He acquired much learning from 'All bin Husam ad-Din al-Muttaki
who died A.H. 975, A.D. 1567, and also'became one of his devot-
ed disciples in the Kadirl and Shadhill orders. After his return
to his native land, he tried his utmost to spread learning and to
uproot ^e doctrines of Muhammad al-Jawnpuri who had claimed
to be the , M ihdi of his time. These doctrines much prevailed
amongst the Buhras, a tribe of Gujrat to which Muhammad bin
lahir belonged.

i«nJ n f H V T' AD - ,672 ' Akbar < A - H - 903-1014, A.D. 1556-
1605) set out to conquer Gujarat. After its conquest he conferred
honour on Muhammad Tahir by tying with his own hand the turban
on his head, as, he thought, it was incumbent on him (Akbar) to
spread the tme principles of Islam. When Khan A'z am 'Aziz
Muhammad Kukaltash was appointed governor of Gujarat he
helped Muhammad Tatar in uprooting the new doctrines of the said
Mibdr But when 'Abd ar-Rahim Khan Khanan came as gover-
nor after the said Khan 'Azarn, Muhammad Tahir suffered much
trouble at the hands of the followers of the Mihdi, and proceeded
to the Court of Akbar in Akbarabad for redress. On his way
he was murdered at Ujjain by some followers of the Mihdi in A B >

47

986, A.D. 1578. He is the author of many books. The word

The author says in the preface that 'Abd ar-Bahman bin 'All
called lbn al Jauzl, died, AH. 697, AD. 1200, had written a book
on this subject ; but as the latter had included many authentio
Traditions in the category of forged ones, he compiled the present
book- from reliable sources, in order that it might be of some use
to the students of Traditions. The book is divided into a pro-
logue and several chapters, a list of which is prefixed at the
beginning.

In his prime of life, A.H. 3*56, A.D. 966, he went from Khurasan
to Baghdad, and many learned men of the place became his
pupils. Malik Rukn ad-Din Dailami (A.H. 320-366, A.D. 932-

great respect. It is said that he was the author of three hundred

KIFAYAT AL-ATHAR FI'N NUSUS AL'AL
A'IMMATA'L TTHNA 'ASHAR.

A .work dealing with those Traditions which are exclusively
applicable to the twelve Imams and show their superiority over
others. With regard to the authorship of the work, reliable au-
thorities differ in their opinions.

Babiiya al-Kumml as-Saduk, died, A.H. 381, A.D. 991 (for his life

(2) Others consider uj^* J! ^obJoJI ^LrJJJ ^> ^^-« ^ Mw

Shaikh al-Mufid was born in A.H. 336, A.D. 947 or A.H. 338,
A.D. 949. While he was young he accompanied his father to
Baghdad. He became a great orator and debater. He is a re-
cognised authority among the Imamites. He died in A.H. 413,
A.D. 1022. For further particulars of his life see Tusi, al-Fihrist,
p. 314; Muntaha'l Makal, p. 291; Rawdat al-Jannat, p. 563;
and Brockelmann, Gesch. d. Arab. Litter., Vol. I., p. 188.

pupil of ash-ghaikh a^-Saduk, died, A.H. 381,' A.D. 991 (see No.
50) and was an undisputable authority in matters coanected with
religion. He is also the author of Kitab al-Idah fi Usui ad-Din.

This third opinion is corroborated by Rawdat al-Jannat, p.
388 and Kashf al-Hujub, p. 471. Dr. Ahlwardt in his Berlin Cat.

The author iv the preface says that he had found a class of
people of ordinary Teaming who thought that there were no reli-
able Traditions about the eminence and superiority of the Imams,
and consequently ho composed the present work from trustworthy
souroes in order to prove their eminence. The beginning of our

SHARK AL-HISN AL-HASIN.
A commentary on al-Jazarfs prayer book called al-gisan al-

Mulla Muhammad al-Hanafi at-Tabrizi. He is the author of
Sharh ar-Risalat al-Adudlya, Risala fi Hall Ashkal Ta'rif al-
Kadiya, SJbarh Risalat al-Wajib, and other works. According to
Haji Khalifa, Vol. I., p. 210, he died at Bukhara in about A.H.
900, A.D. 1494. But according to Brockelmann, Vol. II., p. 217, he
flourished in A.H. 953, A.D. 1643. See also Berlin Cat. No. 5296.

Our author should not be confounded with another scholar called
Muhammad al-Hanafl. His full name was Muhammad bin
Hamzat al-Hanafl al-'Aintabl. He was the author of a commen-
tary on Tafslr al-BaidavI and Glosses on al-Khayali. He died in
A.H. 1111, AD. 1699. See Silk ad-Durar, Vol. IV., p. 38.

Scholars differ as regards the name of the transmitter of this

Harun athThakafl was the narrator of this book while others
think that '" T niair's father al-Mutawakkil bin Harun narrated it.
For a full discussion, see Muntaha'l Makal, p. 251. See also
Tusl's al-Fihrist, p. 262, and Kashf al-Hujub, p. 367. This work
is also designated as-Sahlfat as-Sajjadiya, because as-Sajjad was
one of the names of the said Imam.

A.D. 1 657. After the death of Kutub Shah, when Sultan Abu'i
Hasan (A. H. 108M098, A.D. 1672-.1687) succeeded him the
frimily of as SaiyidMU Khan was maltreated by the new Sultan.
Accordingly he fled to Aurangzlb (A.H. 1069-11 J 8, A.D. 1659-
1707) who was then engaged in the conquest of the' Deccan and
was I hen at Burhanpur. Aurangzlb received him with honour and
conferred upon him the mansab (iX rank) of the command of
1,500 men. When Aurangzlb proceeded to Aurangabad, he was
accompanied by as-Sayid 'All Khan/and the latter was left in
charge of the place when Aurangzlb went to Ahmadnagar. Subse-
quently Aurangzlb placed him in charge of the. famous Fort of
?erar named Mahur, and he was made diiuan of Burhanpur
thereafter, After sprae time he took leave of Aurangzlb and pro-
ceeded with his whole family on pilgrimage to Mecca and Madina,
whence he also proceeded on a visit to the holy places of Bagdad,
Karbala, Najaf, Tus, etc. Afterwards he went to Isphahan, and
me^ Sultan Husain Safavl (A f H. 1105-1135, A.D. 1694-1722), but
as^he felt that he was not duly received and respected by the
Sultan he went to Shlraz, where he passed the remainder of his
hfe m teaching pupils as a professor of the Mad rasa Mansurlya.
He^ died in ^.H. ill?, A.D. 1705, or AH. 1120, A.D.* 1708,
and not in A.H. 1104, A.D, 1692, as given by Brockelmann, Vol.

This is a very extensive commentary in fifty-four parts, each
called a iLi^. Each 'Lb^ has a new preface. Our copy only con-
tains the commentary on twenty-six M^; The 7th and 8th Raw-
das have been included in the sixth Rawda, and likewise the 17th
Rawda in the 16th Rawda without any separate preface. Most of
the Rawdas bear the date of -their composition at the end.

outer edge of foil. 481-502. Marginal notes are occasional. Each
Rawda has a colophon. From the colophon of the commentary
on the preface, fol. 49a, it appears that this portion was written
by order of the author. It runs thus :-—

remained for about fifteen years in Baghdad, and then went to
Hilla, and from there to Mashhad, after which he returned to
Baghdad, He is the author of many books. He died on Mon-
day, 5th Dhu'lICa'ada A.H. 664 (A.D. 1265). See Aral akkmii,

cular day of the* year only and not more than once in a year.
The colophon indicates that at first the author divided the book
into two parts. The first part contained the religious observances
for the months of Dhu'l K'ada and DJuVlHijja, and the second
part included the ceremonies from the month of Muharram up to
the month of Sha'ban. Subsequently the author changed the
order. In the first part (foil. 1-356) he wrote the observances
for Muharram till Ramadan, and in the second part (fol. 356-524)
from Shawwal up to the end of Dhu'l Hijja. See Kashf al-Hujub,
p. 55.

A list of all the chapters is given on foil. 26-8a. The ink of
the first page is much faded, Fol. 156 and a portion of fol. 356a
are blank. The first two pages are decorated with a beautiful
'XJnwan at the beginning; gold-ruled margins are to be found
throughout. Headings are in gold letters. Prayers are vocalised.
The name of the book as given on the title page, viz. ^-jJt, ^klijj

KUNUZ AL-JAWAHIR.

A work on soholastio theology preoeded by a discourse on
medioal scienoe. The name of the author is not mentioned in the
book itself or its preface. On the title-page, some one has named
the book Kunuz al-Jawahir and Kunuz as-Sihha, and has given
Fakhr ad-Din ar-RazI ap the name of the author. Fakhr ad-Din ar-
RazI was a well-known author, whose full- name was j*sm ^jjJLdai
^yi^c ^t Fakhr ad-Din Muhammad bin 'Umar ar-Razi, and who

died, A.H. 606, A.D. 1209. See for his life No. 317.

But from the perusal of the following passages of fol. 192a, it
appears that the author flourished during the reign of the Caliph
Muktafibillah (A.H. 530-655, A.D. 1136-1 160):—

Beginning .:—

The author had written another commentary on his treatise

Masalik al-Afham and named it hJtU .ilkJl ^ ^^J) jji/l

^M {^C/U.*; but when in A.H. 894, A.D. 1488, he visited 'Irak,

many students read with him this commentary, in which he had
treated many theological matters cursorily. On his explaining
those theological matter*, the students requested him to write
those points in detail ; and in compliance with their request he
wrote the present work. Many points in this book have been
explained according to the views of the Sufis. Consequently many
'Ulama of the Imamlya sect held that it was not a reliable book.
See Kashf al-Hujub, p. 488 and Rawdat al-Jannat, p. 626. This
commentary was completed at Mashhad in the last part of
Jumada II, A.H. 896, A.D. 1489. See Kashf al-Hujub, p. 488.

and he was one of the eminent soholars of his time. He died about
A.H. 1034, A.D. 1624. See Khulasat al-Athar, Vol. IV, page 610.
Hajl Khalifa, Vol. IV, p. 217, says that Karabaghi died about
A.H. 1030, A.D. 1620.
Beginning:—

The author dedicated this work to the famous saint Abu
Hamid Khalllallah, whom he visited in his Kkankah or monastary
at Samarkand, and hence the book is called al-Hashiyat al Kh&n-

kahlya. The following remark of the colophon .JU tJiLo U J^l JJjj>

^JjixJI iUlUJI AiL> U^i.1 shows that this sUperoommentary was

the first work of al-Karabaghl, while tho commentary was the last
composition of ad-Dawwani. It was composed, according to the
note on the last fol. in the beginning of Rabi'I, A.H. 999, A.D. 1 590.
al-Karabaghi, besides this supercommentary mentioned above,
wrote another supercommentary on the same work, in which he
16

114

answered various questions which al-Khalkhall (d. A.H. 1014,
A D. 1605) put about al-Karabaghi's first supercommentary. The
second supercommentary is called ^AlyJ) *Jhl ^ ^pi^ijJ £*«...
See Haji Khalifa, Vol, IV. ■ p. 217.

For copies see India Office Cat. No. 459; and Hyderabad
List, Fann Kalam, No. 22.

It has been litho fel aphed with marginal notes by Muhammad
Rakim Sahibzada, Lucknow, A.D. 1875, and also at Dehli'in A.H.
1289.

The quotations from the commentary are introduced with the

HASHIYA SHARH AL-'AKA'ID AL-JALALIYA

An incomplete copy of a supercommentary on ad-Daw wani's
commentary (see No. 99) on al-'Aka'id of Adud ad-Din al-Tji (see
No. 99, III). The name of the author of the supercommentary is
not mentioned anywhere in the body of the text. On the title
page, in an old hand, the name of the author is written as al-
Khatib ( ^silaivJl ). On fol. 606 the author refers to another work
of himself, called tJii'l^JI ^ jJL ix&U, a supercommentary to as-
Saiyid ash-gharif al-Jurjani's commentary on Adud ad-Din al-ljl's
al-Mawakif, a famous work on scholastic theology. As Mawla
Muhi ad-Din Muhammad bin al-Khatib is the only supercommen-
tator of ^Jil^JI ^jii, w ho bears the appellation al-Khatib, I am
inclined to think that the writer of this supercommentary may be
the same soholar. He wrote several supercommentaries on famous
works and died in A.H. 901, A.D. U95. See Haji Khalifa. Vol.

KITAB AL-'ULUV.

A treatise about the looality of God on 'Arsh. The name of
the author is not mentioned in the iext. On the title page, under
the name of the work ('Arsh al-'Ula), the author's name is given as
adh-Dhahabl. But a careful reading of the book itself shows that
it was not composed by adh-Dhahabl, as on fol. 127a the author
of the treatise says : —

al-Khatib in his history and adh-Dhahabl and others have praised
him—."

According to Haji Khalifa, Vol. V., p. 115, three persons had
written on the subject of the locality of God on 'Arsh. One of
them was Ibn abl Shaiba Muhammad bin 'Uthman, died, c. A.H.
235, A.D. 849. The second was Ibn Taimlya, died, A.H. 728, A.D.
1328 ; and the third was adh DhahabI, died, A.H. 748, A.D.' 1348.
As adh-Dhahabl, is quoted as an authority in the body of the text,
as mentioned above, it is evident that the book under consideration
is a composition of later date. The name of the author could not
be traced/but the following passage on fol. 104a:—

The MS. after praising God and invoking His blessings on the

the father of the author, Salim bin Ahmad bin Shaikhan, accor-

Therefore the date of birth of the author, A.H. 919, and the date of

called Majma' al-Bahrain, which aimed at reconciling the Hindu
dootrine of jog with that of the Sufis, by J*^J ppl ^ JU j*^

j^^^aJI Muhammad Salih bin ash-§haikh Ahmad al-Misri. Taking
in view the date of composition of the original work, which is A.H.
1066, A.D. 1664, and the date A.H. 1186, A.D. 1771, which is
written in fol. 236 as the date of transcript of a prayer, it is
evident that the work must have been composed between those
dates.

he was then forty-two years old. Many passages from the Kur'an
are cited in the book. On the margin are written in red ink the
equivalent terms of Hindu phraseology. The top of fol 20a bears

known as Bahr al-'Ulum. He was born at Lucknow and was educa-
ted by his father. At the age of seventeen he received from his
father a Sanad of competency. He began to deliver lectures and
compose books. Unfortunately an event happened which forced
him to quit Lucknow. From there he >-snt to jShahjahanpur. He
next went to Rampur State, where he remained for nearly five
years. But the rush of students to him was so great that, the
Nawwab was unable to meet their demands. Bahr al-'Ulum,
being dissatisfied with the Nawwab, left the plaoc. At the request
of Munshl Sadr ad-Din, the ancestor of the presenter of the Buhar
Library to the Govt, of India, he came to Buhar, a village in
Burdwan, Bengal, and not improbably the Buhar Library was
founded by him. From Buhar he went to Madras, where he died
on the 12th Rajab, A.H. 1235, A J). 1819. In Southern India he
is known as Malik al-' Ultima', and in Northern India as Bahr al-

Shi'a school by v _ r L>j,jJtir t^Ju^j Jy»a=v/* ^ y^e) ^ic 'All Asg^ar bin

Muhammad Yusuf al-Kazvinl. He was a scholar of the Imamiya
sect. The introduction of the passages of the commentary, up to

fol. 128, with the expression 4u).Jjjl/.used for a living .being,, and
subsequently with ty* AX)) i_i*»oj' or %j»> y*nW, applied to a deceased
person, indicates that 'All Asghar al-Kazvinl wrote the beginning
of his supercommentary during the lifetime of the commentator
and the rest after the latter's death which took place in A.H. 1089,
A.D. 1678, and not ciroa A.H. 1070, A.D. 1659, as given by
Brookelmann, Gesch. d. Arab. Litter., Vol. I., p. 187. See Shu-
dhur al-'Ikyan, Vol. I., fol. 260; and Nujum a^Sama,' p. 101.
The date of completion of the supercommentary, aooording to the
colophon, is AH. 1103, AD. 1691. The supercommentator, then ,
certainly flourished between some date anterior to A.H. 1089,
A.D. 1678, and A.H. 1103, A.D. 1691. He probably died in the
first quarter of the 1 2th century Hijra.

death. In Madinat aUUlum, fol, 151, the author says that he
died on the 11th Jumada II, A.H. 393, AD. 1002. 'AH Karl in
his Tabakat, fol. 1606 (No. 256), says that his death took place at
Balkh in A.H. 376, A.D. 986 ; while in another of his books, the
oonimentary on ash-ghifa fl Hukuk al-Mustafa, he gives the date
as A.H. 373; A.D. 983. Hajl Khalifa, Vol. II., pp. 51, 428, gives
the date as A.H. 375, A.D. 895, and in the same volume, p. 365,
he gives it as A.H. 373, A.D. 983, while in" Vol. III., p. 136 he
gives it as A.H. 383, A.D. 993. The last mentioned date is also
given by Fliigel in Die Classen, p. 303. In Taj at-Tarajim, edited
by Fliigel (Leipzig, 1862), the date of the death of our author
is given as A.H. 393, A.D. 1002. Al-Kafavi, in his work, I' lam

Abd aJ'Aziz as-Sadr ash-Shahld al-Bukhari. He was born in
A.H. 483, A.D. 1090; studied jurisprudence with his father, and
surpassed all the scholars of his time at Khurasan. From there
he went to Transoxians, and was much respected by the Sultan
and others. He fell into the hands of the Turks, when they took
Sultan Sanjar prisoner, and was killed at Samarkand in AH. 536,
A.D.I 14 1. His dead body was removed to Bukhara. He is recog-
nised as one of the most reliable authorities on jurisprudence
aocprding to the Hanafi school. See Taj al-Tarajim, p. 34; al-

This book is one of the most reliable works on jurisprudence
according to the Hanafi school. Haji Khalifa, Vol. III., p. 165,
says .Wju* j^^c v Uf yb i.e. " It is a famous, reliable book " and
al-Fawa'id al-Bahlya, p. 37, says ±J*s> j jLLJI sic yji** v_»lxf y &
«U«aII sic "it is a reliable work to soholars and a trustworthy One
to jurists." The author first wrote two other books on jurispru-
dence , namely Khizanal al- Walsi'al and Nitsab al-Fafch.- Then on
the requests of his friends he wrote the present book in a conoise
form, and hence it was named Khulasa. The author at the begin-
ning of eaoh section has given a list of contents for the help of
those engaged in giving Fatwa.

For copies see India Office Cat. No. 205; Yeni Cat. Nos.610-
2; Cairo Cat. Vol. III., p. 44; Rampur List, p. 191 j and Hydera-
bad List, Fann Fikh No. 4.

Lithographed, Lucknow.

The beginning of our copy differs from that of India Office
Cat. No. 205. A list of oontents is annexed at the beginning.
There is a beautiful ' Unwctn, and the first two pages are decorated.
Gold and coloured lines are throughout on the margin. Up to fol.
18 glosses are found in the margin. The borders throughout are
changed to different paper. The latter part of the MS. has been
damaged by insects and by the pasting of paper over the worm-
eaten places. Headings of chapters in red ink. Stained with
damp. The last fol. contains a note, which indicates that the book
was purchased on the 20th Dhu'l Hijja, A.H. 1192, from a mer-
chant who had come to Calcutta from Dehli. There is a seal
above this note, but it has been defaced.

AL-FATAWAAT-TATARKHANIYA.

A work on jurisprudence according to the Hanafi school.
According to ghams Siraj 'Afif , Tarikh Flruz Shahl, p. 392, this
work was composed by order of Khan A'zam Tatar Khan t>y V
number of 'Ulama' at Dehli in 30 volumes. ' The *Khan was a Turk
by origin, and was found in a cradle, when Ghiyath ad-Din Tughlak
(A.H. 720-725, A.D. 1320-1324) attacked Multan and Dibalpur*,
and brought before the king, who named him Tatar Malik (the
King s booty). During the reign of Mubammad II bin Tughlak
(A.H. 725-762, A.D. 1324-1351) he distinguished himself in several
battles, and finally in the reign of Flruz Sbah (A.H. 752-790, A.D.
1351-1388) he was given the title of Tatar Khan and other very
high honours. He made the pilgrimage, and died a few years
after the aocession of Flruz Shah. The Khan also set the 'Ulama'
of Dehli to compile the extensive commentary on the Kur'an,
named Tafslr Tatar KhanI after his name. See ghams Siraj , pp.
388-394. Haji Khalifa, Vol. II. , p. 90, savs that the author of the
work under notice is 'Alim bin/Ala' al-Hanafl.

Our oopy is without the earlier parts of the book, and begins

with a portion of .«;U.HI i_>Ltf; but the first fol. is too defective to

Muhammad al- Khurasan! al'Kuhistanl. He came from Khurasan
to Kuhistan, where he remained for some time. From the latter
place he went to Bukhara, and settled there. There he attained
reputation as a jurist of high order, and became a Mufti of that
place and of the entire Transoxiana. He was a pupil of Shaikh
al-Islam al-Haravi, and died, according to some, in A.H. 962,
A.D. 1564, and acoording to others about A.H. 950, A.D. 1643.
Mawla 'Isam ad-Din had a very poor opinion of al-Kuhistanl, and
did not consider him to be a jurist Of rank. According to him al-
Kuhistani was a "broker" of books. See 'Abd al-Hai al-Lakh-

He made the pilgrimage in A.H. 953, A.D. 1546. According to
al-Kawakib as-Sa»ira he died in A.H. 969, A.D. 1561 ; but his son

The latter statement is corroborated by al-Hamavi in his commen-

Kazvmi'a (d. A.H. 665, A.D. 1266) work, called al-Havi as-Saghlr.
Ibn Hajar al-Haitaml bases his commentary chiefly on the com-
mentaries of ghams ad-Din Muhammad bin 'Abd al-Mun'im al-Jau-
jari (d. A.H.889, A.D.1484) and Muhammad bin Abl Sharif al-Muk-
addisi (d. A.H. 930, A.D. 1523). An autograph copy of the latter
is mentioned in Hyderabad List, Fann Pikh, No. 89. al-Haitaml
also drew many useful points in his commentary from the writings
of Zakartya bin Muhammad al-Ansari (d. A.H. 926, A.D. 1520).
It was composed in Mecoa, which is called Umm al-Kura in the
book and was named Path al-Jawad. It is in three volumes but
the MS. under notice is only the first volume of the work,' and
ends with the commentary on the last chapter of -=JI ^W. ' The

"Sadr ad-Din Abu 'Abdallah Muhammad bin <Abd ar-Rahman

Justice of the Province of Safad, is the author of this book; and
wrote it in A.H. 780 (A.D. 1378) ; but some people think =that
Shaikh al-Islam Abu'l Hasan as-Sa'di composed it." Brockel-
mann~ Gesch. d. Arab. Litter, Vol. IT., mentions this book in
two places. On p. 91 he says that Muhammad bin /Abd ar-Rah-
man bin al-Husain al-Kurashl al-'Uthmam ash-Shafi'i Sadr ad-Din
is the author of the book, and wrote it in A.H. 780, A,D. 1378,

^LAKJI l ^»x^o AUj , '>jj*J\ ^i&r* ^ ^*a=v^> Muhammad bin Mur-

tada, known as Mulla Muhsin al-Kashanl. At the end of the trea-
tise, while enumerating his own compositions, the author writes :
"I wrote this treatise, when my age was 83, in A.H. 1090," A.D.
1679, which indicate? that the author was born in A.H. 1007,
A.D. 1598. He was a pupil of Mulla Sadra, died, A.H. 1050,
A.D. 1640. His learning and piety induced his master to give his
daughter in marriage to him. His poetical name, Faid, was also
selected by his master for him. ghah 'Abbas II (A.H. 1052-1077,
AD. 1642-1667) had a special regard and respect for our author.
He is the author of no leas than two hundred books and treatises
on theological subjects, besides a dlwan. Some biographers assert
that he was much inclined to sufism . but others say that ir the

214

last part of his life he gave up that belief, and became an orthodox
Shi a Shudhur al-'Ikyan, Vol. II., fol. 354, says that he died in
about AH 1040, A.D. 1630; but this date must be wrong ; for

i!!on " f^ ,f g ' VeS the date of the work under notice as A.H.

1090, A.D. 1679. Brockelmann has fallen into confusion about
our author. In Vol. II., p. 200, he says that he died about A.H.
91 1, A.D 1606 ; but in the same volume, p. 413, he says that he
died in A.H. 1106, A." 1694. The authentic accounts say that
he died soon after A.H. 1090, A.D. 1679. See Nujum as-Samft',

■ From the preface it appears that he intended to write an
extensivo work on religion, based on the Kur* an, the Traditions
of the Prophe-., and the Sayings of the Imams, and to name it
<u^JJ jXJ ^j jLy^fj f ^Z M . but when he hftd finked one
volume, other matters engaged his mind and consequently he did
not complete the work. Afterwards he thought it best to write
the work in a concise form, and the outcome of that is the present
book. -It is indicated in the preface that the author intended to
finish the larger work, if Providence should help him, and to write
it in such a manner that it would be a commentary on the
abridged work.

The book is divided into two parts. The first part is oldU*JI ^i

^AJJI ,.,Li£ , j o*oJ „,> Shams ad-Din Abu 'AbdaJlah Muhammad

bin Ahmad bin Uthman adh-Dhahabi. He was born at Damascus
on the 3rd Rabi' II, AH. 673, 7th October, 1274. He visited
different countries for the sake of study, was a teacher of
Traditions at Damascus, and wrote many useful works. His great
Taiikh al-Tslam is in twenty volumes (according to Haji Khalifa,
Vol. II., p. 131, in twelve volumes) : it is to be found, in odd
volumes, in various western and eastern libraries. Dr. Horovitz
in his work ' ' Aus den Bibliotheken von Kairo, Damaskus and Kons-
tantinopel," p. 9, No. 5, gives the names of the different libra-
ries where these odd volumes are to be found. adh-Dhahabi
died on the 3rd Dhu'l Ka'da, A.H. 748, 5th Febryary, A.D. 1348.
Haji Khalifa, Vol. III., p. 239, wrongly says that adh-Dhahabi died
in A.H. 786. For details see Tabakat al-Kubra, Vol. V., p. 216 ;

but subsequently he wrote a supplement and added to the original
>ork the accounts up to A.H. 744, A.D. 1343, but not to A.H
740, A.D. 1339 as stated by Haji Khalifa, Vol. III., p. 239. See

with other eminent 'Ulama* of his time. He settled at Shiraz
and began to teach students. When Tlmur conquered Shiraz, he
much respected al-Jurja.nl, and included him among the scholars of
his court. A discussion took place between him and Sa'd ad-Din
at-Taftazani in which it is said that al-Jurjani overcame him. Al-
'Aini and those who followed him think that he died in A.H. 814,

From the preface it appears that the author wrote this super-
commentary at the request of his son, but Dr. Loth in India Office
Cat. No. 518 says that he wrote these notes on the advice of his
father. It is an astonishing remark of the learned doctor. Most
probably he read the word v>J. meaning son, as i>;)/ meaning father.
It was dedicated to Shah Jahan, A.H. 1037-1069, A.D. 1628-1659.

SHARH HIDAYAT AL-HIKMA.

A commentary on al-Abharra treatise on phUosophy called

Beginning : —

The original text is divided into three parts, Logio, Physios
and Metaphysics, but the commentary deals with only the last two.

It was printed in Calcutta and lithographed at Luoknow, A.H.
1281. and at Cawnpore, 1880.

The passages of the original text are marked with red lines.
The pagination is Wrong after, fol. 120. The next fol. has been
numbered 161 instead of 121, and the mistake is earned on through-

Mirak Shams ad-Din Muhammad bin Mubarak Shah al-Bukharl (see
No. 321).

Beginning : —

The author say3 in the preface that he wrote this comment-
ary at the request of his students, and that he has included in the
work the entire glosses on the text by Kutb ad-Din ash- ShlrazI (died

A.H. 710, A.D. 1310), which he quotes with the words kxlaiU imS &>\yn}\

For copies see Berlin Cat. No. 5081 ; Paris Cat. Nos. 2384-5 ;

Office Cat. No. 498 ; Cairo Cat. Vol. I., p. 97 ; Rampur List, p.
396 ; Asiatio Society Cat. p. 81, and Bankipur Cat. p. 383.

For other commentarieK and glosses see Haji Khalifa, Vol. III.,
p. 103., and Berlin Cat. No. 5086.

The commentary begins on fol. 66. The first five foil, contain
anonymous glosses on some portions of the metaphysics of Hikmat
al-'Ain ; and on fol. 6a are some prayers. The commentary includes
the whole text, the passages of which are marked with red line
throughout, except in foil. 1246- 132a, where black is used instead.
It has numerous marginal notes chiefly taken from the glosses on
this commentary by as-Saiyid Sharif al-Jurjani. A list of contents
is annexed at the end, but the page numbers are wrong. Gold and
coloured lines in the margins are up to fol. 225. It is wormeaten,
but carefully mended. Borders of many foil, are supplied with a
different kind of paper. It also bears two seals, one of which has
been purposely effaced. The other one bears the date A.B
1274.

A work on the interpretation of dreams. The author is not

work called Kitab al-Kadiri fi't Ta'blr.

A.H. 397, A.D. 1006, and consequently it -.as named Kitab al-

Isma'U bin ar-Razzftz al-Jawzl"is quoted there as its Author. The
Paris Cat. No. 2477 calls it ^UuJ) y^and gives Abu'l <Izz Isma'Il
al-Jazari as its author. It a^ aars from the following quotation
from the preface that the author flourished about A.H. 570 AD

bin 'All al-Mutarrizi. He was born at Khawarizm in A.H. 638,
A.D. 1143, or according to Taj at-Tarajim fi Tabakat al-Hanaflya,
p. 68, in A.H. 636, A.D. 1141. He studied 'with his father and
others. He taught Hanafite jurisprudence and the dogmas of the
Mu'tazilito school. In A.H. 601, A.D. 1204, he came to Baghdad,
and died in his native land in A.H. 610, A.D. 1213. As-Suyuti
in his Bughyat al-Wu'at, p. 402. says that he was a pupil of az-
Zamakhsharl. This statement, I think, cannot be correct, because
az-Zamakhshari died in A.H. 538, A.D. 1143, the year in which
al-Mutarrizi was born. The fact of al-Mutarrizi being commonly
considered the successor of az-Zamakhshari, owing to his vast
erudition in philological matters, led as-Suyut>I, probably, to be-
lieve that he was a pupil of that Great Master. For further details
of his life see lbn Khallikan, Vol. II., p. 280 ; al-Fawa'id al-Bahiya,

SHARH AL-LUBAB.

A commentary on Isfara'inl's work on syntax called al-Lubab.
The commentary begins without a preface. In Berlin Cat. No.
6667 and India Office Oat. No. 898, where this commentary is
described, the author's name is also not given. But the date of
composition, A.H. 735, A.D. 1334, given at the end of the MS.,
tallies with the date of composition of al-'Ubab, a commentary
on the same work by Nukrakar, which according to Haji Khalifa,
Vol. V., p. 303, was composed in A.H. 735, A D. 1334.' This leads
me to think that the commentary under notice is a copy of that
which Hajl Khalifa calls al-'Ubab, and attributes to Nukrakar.
His full name is Jamal ad-Din 'Abdallah bin Muhammad al-Husai-
nl. He was a native of Naishabur, but settled at Aleppo, where
he taught in the Asadiya College. Subsequently he went to Dam-
ascus, and from there to Cairo, where he died in A.H. 776, A.D.
1374. See for his life Buryat al-Wu'at, p. 287, and Rieu, Br.

MUKHTASAR AL-MA'ANl.

An abbreviated commentary on al-ICazvini's treatise on rhetoric
called Talkhis al-Miftah by. ^IfWSl j*e ^ *,***. -^1 .w Sa'd .
ad-Din Mas'ud bin 'Umar at-Taftazani. He was born in A.H. 722,
A.D. 1322, but according to Bugfeyat al-Wu'at, p. 391, in A.H.

437

712, A.D.1312, at Taftazan in Khurasan; studied with Adud
ad^Dln al-ljl arid Kutb ad-Din ar-RazI, and became a professor at
Sarakhs. When TlmQr, after the conquest of Khawarizra, heard
of his great scholarship and learning, he summoned him to his
Court, and consequently he came to the Emperor, who showered
honours on him. He died, according to Bughyat al-Wu'at, p. 391,
in A.H. 791, A.D. 1389, and according to Habib as-Siyar, Vol. XII.,
Juz' 3,p. 88 in A.H. $97, A.D. 1394. Most of the Arabio bio-
graphers such as 'Abd al-Hai in al-Fawa'id al Bahiya, p. 56 ;
al-Kafavi, in I'lam al-Akhyar, fol: 376, Rawdat al-Jannat, p. 309 ;
and Madinat al-'Ulum, ifol 42&, say that he had died in A.H. 792,
A.D. 1390. Scholars also differ very much as to whether at-Tafta-
zaniwas a Hanafi or a ghafi'I in his views. Zain al-'Abidm bin
Ibrahim bin 'Nujaim al-Hanafl, the author of Bahr ar-Ra ? ik,in the
preface of Fath al-Ghaffar fl Sharh al-Minar, says that he wasji
Hanafi; and this. statement is supported by afc-Tahtavi at the
end of his commentary on ad-Durr al-Mukhtar. ^Ali al-Kan, in
his Tabakat al-Hanafiya, fol. 122&, also shared the same notion
concerning at-Taftazanl, though he confounded his name withhis
father's, for he has named him 'Umarbin Mas'fid Sa'd M-Din
at-Taftazarii. Others rightly considered him to be a Shafi'i; for
instance al-Kafavi in his work I'lam al-Akhyar, fol. 37 5b, as-SuyQti
in Bughyat al-Wu'at, p. 391, and Hajl Khalifa, Vol. II., p. 444.
Also see Habib as-Siyar, Vol. III., Juz' 3, p. 87, and Brockelmann,
Vol. II., p. 215.
Beginning ;-r

At-Taftazanl wrote two commentaries on Talkhis al-Miftah.
The first wa*» the elaborate commentary known as ahMufawml,
and the second was the concise one known as aZ-itf^to«<?r, popular-
ly called MuMriasaral-Ma'cM. The MS. under notice is the ^cond
commentary. It is a matter of great gratification that scholars
should have paid special attention to the writings of at-Taftazam ;
and with regard to most of his works they have found out the
dates on which they were commenced or finished. As that he com-
pleted Sharl az-Zanjanl in gha'ban, A.H. 738, A ; D '337, when
his a«e was 16 years; al-Mufawwal at Hirat in A.H. 748, A.u.

Husain al-Husaini al-Yazdi. He was a soholar of the Imftmlya
sect, and died, according to Brockelmann, Vol. II., p. 216, and
Khulasat al-Athar, Vol. III., p. 40, in A.H. 1015, A.D. 1606, but
according to Kashf al-Hujub, p. 343, in A.H. 1069, A.D. 1658.
I think the latter date is wrong, as from the colophon it appears

that the author completed this work (at a college called XwjjJJ

hjyaXJ) aj^*oJI in Shirftz) in A.H. 972 (A.D. 1564) not in A.H.

962, as mentioned by Haji Khalifa, Vol. II., p. 408, and Kashf
aUHujub, p. 173. It is not likely that he lived for 97 years after
being grown up enough to finish such a learned work. The date
A.H. 1069, A.D. 1658, is the date of the death of the author's son
(oalled Mulla Hasan • Ali), and that may haveoaused the confusion.

140 aphorisms we have only 133. Fol. 23 contains a colophon in
Persian, misplaced. Fol. 13 should come before fol. 16, which is a
separate fol. that has been pasted on the opposite side of fol. la.
We notice also the following couplet on fol. 16 : —

This indicates that the "Persian paraphrase, as far as the 40
Traditions are oonoerned, was made by Jam!, whose full name was
Nur ad-Din 'Abd ar-Rahm&n bin Ahmad al- Jami, whereas nothing
is said there about the paraph raser of the 100 proverbs, but ac-
cording to Rieu, p. 663a Wa^wat is the author of- the translation.

Al-Jami was born in A.H. 817, A.D. 1414 ; spent most of his
life in Hirat, and died there in A.H. 898, A.D. 1492. For details
of his life see Daulat Shah, p. 483 ; Majma' al-Fusaha', Vol. II.,

Literature Under Tartar Dominion, pp. 507-648,

The translation of these Traditions was made in A.H. 886,

iifl^TMP Al-< AKA'ID.
A commentary by ^^xd^S/J ^s^, ^j ^Lc ^jJI,^'Ala ? ad-
Dln 'All bin Muhammad' al-Kushji upon the well-known woric of
scholastic theology entitled Tajrld al-Kalam of Nasir ad-Din
Muhammad bin Muhammad at-Tusi, died A.H. 672, A.D. 1273.
Al-Kushji first studied in Samarkand and then prooeeded to Kirman,
where he carried on his studies under the best masters. When he
returned to Samarkand, Ulugh Beg employed him for the comple-
tion of his great astronomical work. After the death of that
prince, he returned to Tabriz. From there he went to Constan-
tinople to Sultan Muhammad II, carrying a friendly missive from
Uzun Hasan the Ak Kuyunlu, ruler of Tabriz. The Sultan re-
ceived him with great honour, and asked him to stay 'in his
country. Al-Kushji accepted the offer, and said that he would
come back to Constantinople after delivering the reply of the
Sultan to the ruler of Tabriz. He fulfilled his promise, and came
back to Constantinople. The Sultan received him with much
greater honours than before, and at last he was appointed the
Principal of the Aya Sufiya College on a salary of 200 dirhams per
day. He died in A.H. 879, A.D. 1474. The surname al-Kushji
"the falconer" is, according to ash-§haka'ik an-Nu'maniya,
p. 250, derived from his father's offioe. He was in charge of the
hawks of Ulugh Beg. Some say that he was a great favourite of
Ulugh Beg, who, while hunting, used to entrust him with his
hawk, and hence his surname is al-Kushji.

PREFACE.

It was stated in Volume I of the " Catalogue Raisonne of the
Buhar Library " (Calcutta, 1921) that the cataloguing of the Arabic
manuscripts had been begun in 1905 to 1906 by Maulavl Abul Khair
Muhammad Yusuf, and that what Shams-ul- Ulama' Dr. Hidayat Husain
was appointed to do was to revise and complete what the other
had begun. A comparison of Maulavl Abul Khair Muhammad Yusuf 's
and Shams-ul- 'Ulama' Dr. Hidayat Husain's notices has shown that
the Shams-ul-'Ulama' had much more to do than revise and complete
his brother-scholar's work : he had to write a new catalogue. I have
therefore omitted Maulavr Abul Kliair Muhammad Yusnf's name from
the title-page.

The manuscripts deserving of special mention on account of . their
• excellence in calligraphv and illumination are .—Man La Yahduruhu'l
Faklh (No, 50), Dala'il al-Khairat (No. 60), Munajat Amir al-Mu'minln
(No. 64), as-Sahlfat al-Kamila (Nos. 65, 66 and 68), al-Ikbal bi Salih
al-A'mal (No. 75), al-Asfar al-Arba'a (No. 331), KalimSt Makniina
(No. 409), and Dlwan 'All (No. 426),

From the point of view of uniqueness or rarity the following
manuscripts, among others, deserve special mention : — Sharh Mishkat
al-Masablh (No. 35), Kurb al-Isnad (No. 49)-, Kifayat al-Athar (No. 51)
Riyad as-Salikin (No. 72), at Ta'llkat 'ala'l Hashiya al-Kiiidrlya
(No. 91),Nahj al-Mustarshidln (No. 94), Anwar al-Malakut (No." 95).
at-Takdisat (No. 102), Miftah as-Sara'ir (No. 128), Sharh Zubdat
al-Usul (No. 146), Kanz al-Fawa*id (No. 181), Madarik al-Ahkam
(No. 183), al-Iktifa' ft Fadl al-Araba*at al-Kliulafa' (No. 200),'ls'af
Ikhwan as-Safa' (No. 201), al-'Umda (No. 203), Kitab al-Yakln
(No. 204), al-Ka«hkul ft ma Jara 'Ala Al ar-Rasul (No. 205), Miftah
an-NaJa' ft Mangkib Al al-'Aba' (No. 208). ManSkib Ahl Bait
(No. 210), Tarajim al-Huffaz (Nos. 252-253), Tabakat al-Hanbaliya
(No. 265), Zahr ar-Riyad (No. 269), al-Hashiya 'Ala Hashivat
al-Khata'l (No. 401). Rasa'il Ibn al-'Amid (No. 412) and I'lam
Nahj al-Ba]Sgh,a (No. 413, II).

The Arabic collection cannot boast of possessing any MS. of an
early age, but the following works may be of some interest for the
students of Arabic palaeography : —

Name. Date.

Sharh Mishkat al-Masablh (No. 34) . . A.H. 802 (?)
Hashiya 'Ala gharh Mukjjtasar al-Muntaha

(No. 138) ;. .. .. b45

Az-Zioi al-Mulakbkhas (No. 347) . . ., C. 700

Kitab at-Tahbir (No. 358) . . . . ,,808

Sharh Tajrid al-'Aka'id (No. 452) . . „ 899.

Shams-ul-'Ulama' Dr. Hidayat Husain has compiled his Catalogue
on fuller lines than those of Volume I, devoted to the Persian

VH1 PfiBFAOH,

manusoripts. Biographies have been given ; also references to earlier
biographies, and to notices of manusoripts in other collections.

The following are references used : " Asiatic Society Cafe." =
ghains-ul-'Ulaina' Mlrza Ashraf 'All's Catalogue of the MSS. in
the Asiatic Society of Bengal; ." Bankipur Cat." = the " Mahbub
al-Albab" by Khan Bahadur Maulavl Kbuda Rakish ; " Rampur
List " = the hand-list of the Rampur State collection ; "Hyderabad
List " = the shorter hand-list "of the Hyderabad State collection
published in 1900, not the fuller list in two volumes published in 1916.

Our thanks are due to the Government of Bengal for plaoing
the services of SJiams-ul 'Ulama' Dr. Hidayat Husain at our disposal,
