Sample Text
(beginning) Fol. 1a.1 (lacuna) My grandfather, and thus I toiled for a whole period of time with the utmost sincerity and the strongest faith to show me the springs of judgment on the tongue in the judgment in the second knowledge. He granted me the solution of Al-Hawi, then he explained it in two hundred days, with the carefulness and mastery of what they had collected from the brothers and sisters, to bring them together in the first knowledge to complete the twins. The Book of the Law that the Sheikh Al-Rais compiled was a book that leaves no small or large without counting them, and no absent or absent person without making them subservient. And the lowest of them are the first thoughts of his that produced what no eye fell upon a question, no ear heard its form, but there is a degree of closure in it (lacuna), and for this reason I called it the compiler of laws, as it combines to the meanings of the law honorable rules, and to the succinctness of the statement and the clarity of the word, pleasant benefits, such that if he looked at it with satisfaction and sincerity and did not go beyond the side of the truth, he would acknowledge with the tongue of justice that the virtue is for the one who has the credit, following in detail, arrangement, teaching, and tabulation with the chief sheikh, except in certain instances.
