Original covers made of glued paper sheets, reinforced with leather on the edges. Cloth binding without leather reinforcement over the spine. Nesha. The manuscript is written in black ink, certain terms and marks in the text are written in red ink. Notes between the lines and in the margins are written in black and red ink. Original sheet numbering in Arabic numerals in black ink in the upper left corner of page "a". Contents: 2a. However, certain facts do not mean that in Sunni Islam there is no tradition that accompanies the wedding. In fact, one widespread tradition is for the bride to propose to the groom as did Khadijah, Muhammad's first wife, who proposed to the prophet. According to another tradition that is widespread, the bride and groom say the following phrase: "In the tradition of the prophets I agree that... etc." Thus, the belief and explicit knowledge of customs or the prophet's sunna is a central component of Sunni identity. Certain facts do not mean, however, that there are no traditions that accompany marriages in Sunni Islam. In fact, one widely practiced tradition is to have the bride propose marriage to the groom in the tradition of Khadija, Muhammad's first wife, who proposed to the Prophet. Another tradition that is widely practiced has the bride and groom use the phrase "in the tradition of the Prophet I agree to... etc." This marked reliance upon and explicit acknowledgment of the custom, or sunna of the Prophet is, a central component of Sunni identity.
