Notes
Dala’il al-Khayrat is a collection of invocations of the Prophet Muhammad, but also includes a description of the Prophet’s grave and a list of names attributed to him (such as the Seal of the Prophets and al-Hadi al-Haqq). The text was compiled by Muhammad Ibn Sulaiman al-Jazuli, a Moroccan, in the fifteenth century. The book was particularly popular in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in both Turkey and North Africa and remains so until today. This particular copy of the book is extensively gilded and has a square shape, like many Moroccan manuscripts.
