Notes
Ms. codex., Title supplied by cataloguer., Incipit: “This is from the great publication that is missing in most copies before the letters were spread, the narration of Warsh if it was recited to him from the path of Azraq... [Edited by Al-Mansouri] Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds, and may God’s blessings and peace be upon our master Muhammad and upon his family and all his companions. And then the poor servant says to God Almighty Ali Al-Mansouri, may God Almighty forgive him, his parents, and all Muslims. This is what was easy to gather in some verses about the liberation of the paths and narrations from the path of Taibah.
