Notes
The beginning of the manuscript: Praise be to God, who made praise the opening of the Book, the first speech of creation on the Day of Judgment, and the last call of those who are rewarded... As for what follows, the one who enters into seeking knowledge is many, and happiness is few, and the lack of justice is a great speech. How many people attended Arafat without knowledge and stayed at Mina who did not obtain from me, and how many readers in Baghdad did not read anything... So I asked God Almighty to improve these papers with evidence of majesty and notable people in the scenes of Islam and the countries.
The end of the manuscript: The story of Al-Mahdi Al-Marwani with the Berbers, whose name is Muhammad bin Uthman bin Abdul-Jabbar bin Amir Al-Muminin Abd al-Rahman al-Nasir bin Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Muhammad bin Abdullah... Ibn Hayyan mentioned on the authority of Ibn Tammam Ibn Masawiya that the Franks’ objection in Cordoba when they left for the Berbers to Wadi Arh was nine thousand five hundred knights and a few dozen horsemen, and that when they left Wadi Arh they objected again when they entered Cordoba, so they were five thousand. Five hundred and a few extra, so the dead and drowned among them were four thousand knights, and God knows best. The summary of this story has ended, and whoever wants to read it in its entirety should look at the book quoted by Abu Hayyan, may God have mercy on him and the Muslims. Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds, and may God’s blessings and peace be upon Muhammad and his family until the Day of Judgment.
- Paper copy: We did not find any reference to the original from which it was copied
- This manuscript is complete, and includes: A letter from Abu Muhammad Ibn al-Arabi to the Abbasid Caliph Al-Mustadhis issuing an official copy of Yusuf ibn Tashfin - A letter from the Abbasid Caliph Al-Mustadhiz approving Abu Muhammad ibn Al-Arabi’s request - A letter from Vizier Ibn Juhayr on behalf of the Abbasid Caliph to Yusuf ibn Tashfin - A letter from Abu Muhammad Ibn Al-Arabi to Abu Hamid Al-Ghazali - A letter from Abu Hamid Al-Ghazali to Ibn Tashfin regarding the legitimacy of his jihad - A letter from Abu Al-Walid Al-Tartushi To Yusuf Ibn Tashfin - A letter from Ibn Abi Zayd Al-Qayrawani to the people of Morocco - A letter from the Emir of the Muslims, Muhammad Ibn Yusuf Ibn Hud, to his workers confirming what was included in Ibn Abi Zayd’s letter - This section took up 15 pages of the manuscript, and what remained of it was allocated by the author to talk about the Berbers, their lineages, and some of their wars during the Umayyad era in Andalusia. Thus, the subject of the manuscript, in terms of the original intention, is not the genealogies of the Berbers. Professor Ahmed Mukhtar Al-Abadi published a fragment of these letters, and its source was incorrectly attributed to (Ibn Al-Arabi’s book “The Arrangement of the Journey for Encouragement to the Faith” and its number in the Public Treasury is 1275K) [sic]. What is correct is that the book is “Evidence of Majesty.” As for the arrangement of the journey, it was lost during the lifetime of its author - see Studies in the History of the Maghreb and Andalusia by Al-Abadi - and Dr. Ismat Dandash published a study and investigation of this book, adopting the Public Treasury’s copy No. 1020D - see Her book: The Role of the Almoravids in Spreading Islam in West Africa... published by Dar Al-Gharb Al-Islami in 1988. The letters of Al-Ghazali and Al-Tartushi were published in the first part of the Documents magazine, p. 204 -220 . Then Muhammad Ya’la published the evidence of the majesty in his book “Three Arabic Texts on the Berbers in the Islamic West,” adopting the two copies of the Public Treasury and all previous publications of the book.
