Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds, and prayers and peace be upon the best of His creation, Muhammad and his pure family
All together, the brilliant Sheikh Imam, piety, the protector of religion and religion, said, “The sign of eternity.”
Muhammad bin Ali bin Omar Al-Samarqandi, may God have mercy on him. It is the duty of every person of heart to draw near
To God Almighty...
Ends (f. 36r, lines 17-22):
...Then it is extracted, pounded, and the remainder is added to it
It is also crushed and mixed together well
Finely grind a piece of saffron and dissolve it in water
Hot, it thickens easily and coats the hair quickly
Before it cools and leaves to dry and repeat that I need it
Badr makes the tannins yarang if it is not intended to be intensely black
Colophon
Section at the end of a manuscript text.
(f. 36r, lines 23-27):
Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds
May God bless Sayyed
The messengers and his family
And his companions
Everyone
