Begins (f. 1r, lines 2-4):
The Sheikh, the imam, the scholar, the master memorizer, the expert, the investigator, said: He is the only one of his time and the unique one of his time
The virtuous and the sea of virtues, Abu Al-Abbas Shihab Al-Din Ahmed bin Al-Sheikh Al-Imam, the scholar
Shams al-Din Muhammad, known as Ibn al-Haym, may God grant him abundant grace and benefit with his blessing, Amen
Ends (f. 105r, lines 6-11):
...And if this is included in Zaid’s will and what remains
For the heirs, the total was three hundred, and God Almighty knows best. This is the last thing he is pleased with
For the least of His servants in the extravagance of His country, praise be to Him according to His will and thanks for the succession of conquests
And its increase, and prayers and peace be upon Muhammad, who alone ruled over creation, and upon his family
Those who were happy with his happiness, praise be to God alone, and may God’s blessings be upon our master Muhammad and his family
And his companions and peace be upon him...
