Section at the end of a manuscript text.
, f. 123r, lines 18-20, transcribed below).
Beginnings (f. 56v, lines 2-7):
Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds, and may blessings and peace be upon all His prophets, he said
Sheikh Al-Imam Al-Ajmal, the complete scholar, Professor Najeeb Al-Dawla, religion and religion
Purify Islam and Muslims, the deceit of kings and sultans, the pride of the virtuous, unite the East
And the West with the coughs is Abu Al-Hamid Muhammad bin Ali bin Omar Al-Samarqandi, may God have mercy on him
When God Almighty created man with a more just temperament than all animals, He did so
Moderation is broad rather than limited to a narrow limit
Ends (f. 123r, lines 14-20):
...There is no secret of strengthening and refreshing the soul, spirit, and body
With delicious, delicious food scents suitable for all people far from
Narratives (?) and strong qualities, so they should be listened to and feared
When there is a need to strengthen the heart and brain, and when weakness and fainting become more and more severe
From using all other good scents...

(f. 123r, lines 18-20):
... He attached it to himself and to those who asked God after him
The weakest servants of God Almighty and the most in need of the mercy of his Forgiving Lord is Omar bin Muhammad bin Salam bin Abdullah
Al-Erbili praises God Almighty, prays and submits
