Notes
The beginning of the manuscript: Praise be to God, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, and I bear witness that there is no god but God, a testimony that I save for the day of presentation, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and His Messenger, sent with the Sunnahs and the obligations, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, who are offspring of one another. As for what follows, this is a dictionary dedicated to mentioning those whom I sat with or with whom I sat with, among the students of hadith, whether a companion, a friend, or a righteous person, or whom I was blessed by, among the masters of revelation and truthful conditions, or among the famous, and I may mention in it those who loved me in God and His Messenger, and I loved him. Or he recited something to me, or I recited it, or I benefited from something, or I heard news of him, so I wrote to him or he wrote to me, and some of them are more distinguished in this matter than others, and some of them mix the goods, as I point out about them with their descriptions, and some of them are those who have no interest in this matter, but I mention them because I saw kindness from them and I experienced generosity from them.
The end of the manuscript: Muhammad Saeed bin Muhammad al-Hanafi al-Dimashqi, known as the Samman, the writer of time and the poet of the era and times. He came to Egypt in the year 1123, so the writers traveled and crowded with his virtuous people, then he returned to his homeland. When it was the year 1172, he returned to it again. I met him at that time and he loved me and I loved him. I heard from his words a number of his words and the words of others. He was a memorizer, a master, and a good person. Among that is a poem that was recited for us by Sayyid Ibrahim bin Damra al-Naqib. He listed his honorable lineage in it and wrote it for me in his own handwriting and authorized me with it, and it is this [...] so, behold, upon us is a measure and a long one ** that is of no use to the firstborn, thoroughness [...] and if your father were to weigh your weight with me in the back ** I would weigh them, and if I doubted, deliberately
Printed manuscript
Abdul Hayy Al-Kattani mentioned that Al-Murtada Al-Zubaidi has two dictionaries: Kabir and Saghir, and Al-Kattani quoted the latter in his text - as he mentioned - in Index of Indexes (vol. 1, pp. 531-533). Therefore, this manuscript is the large dictionary that Al-Zubaidi made in mentioning his sheikhs, and the shortcomings that befell the small dictionary may be overcome in it because it did not include mentioning all of his sheikhs. Brockelmann mentioned that a copy of this book in the author’s hand is available in Medina.
