Zubdat an-N. v. ʻOṯmān b. Muṣṭafá, voll. 1039/1629"). Date of transcription for this copy unspecified though paper suggests latter 17th century.

Explicit: "وان تموت بقلب سليم ان الله غفور رحيم استئناف تعليلي بحسن الظن وغلبة الرجاء الحمد لله حمدا كثيرا على الاتمام والصلوة والسلام على نبينا محمد واله الكرام"
Incipit: "لحمد لله الذي ارسل رسول محمد بالكتاب والسنة عليه الصلوة والسلام من الله والملائكة والامة ... اما بعد فيقول العبد الضعيف المذنب المعترف بالعجز والتقصير عثمان بن مصطفى المعلق بمحبة الله وحبيبه المصطفى لما كان نصائح الامام من جوامع الكلم اردت شرحها وكشفها بالكلم وسميته زبدة النصائح وقديما كان يختلج في صدري ان اشرحها ولكن لم يساعدني الزمان والآن نشاء سبب داع الى الشرح والبيان وهو الايجاء والالحاح من اختص الاخوان ..."
