He sent down to him clear verses and dazzled the arguments of an Arabic Qur’an without any crookedness... And then the poor servant says to the mercy of his Lord, the guide Abu Al-Saud bin Muhammad Al-Amadi, that the ultimate goal of editing the world’s copy, and whoever has a letter of it written down...”, Explicit: “Whoever reads Surat An-Nahl, God Almighty did not hold him accountable for what He bestowed upon him in the earthly world, and if he died on the day or night after it, he would have [such] reward like the one who died and did well in the will, and God, Blessed and Most High, knows best, and may God’s blessings and peace be upon the master Muhammad and his family and companions and peace.”, Colophon: [p.408] “Scribal,” rectangular, reads: “This was accomplished with the praise of God, his help, and his good success, by drawing the pride of people like him.” The poor servant of God Almighty, Farkh Yaya Bashi, the son of the late Mullah Mahmoud, may God have mercy on him, and he sealed the good deeds of those who were the cause of his writing, and corrected his words, deeds, and conditions, and raised him in ranks in Paradise, and replaced his misdeeds with good deeds... and made it an endowment for... the days of his life, then to his children and descendants... and to the scholars among the Muslims, hoping for the generous face of God... and his writer testified against him. The poor servant, Muhammad Salah al-Din bin Muhyiddin bin Khalil bin Haj Abdul Qadir al-Nabulsi, may God forgive his parents, his sheikhs, his brothers, and all Muslims. Amen, O Lord of the Worlds, in Shawwal of the year 1017.
