And then the prisoner of his sin says... Muhammad bin Suleiman Al-Halabi Al-Rihawi... Indeed, from what is certain [?] every accountable person must believe that the perfections of our Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, are innumerable... Then when the lands of Aleppo threw me to Cairo in Egypt and then to the lands of Rome to The protected city of Constantinople, in the year one hundred and forty and forty, I saw some people of piety discussing the composition of the prayers for Sayyid Sadat... attributed to the Qutb al-Aqtab... Sayyid Muhyiddin Muhammad ibn Ali al-Arabi... and I took it from a group of eminent scholars, including the professor Sheikh Muhammad al-Manfaluti al-Maliki, then from the sign of his time and the uniqueness of his time, Sheikh Muhammad al-Dumyati, known as Ibn al-Mitt, so he authorized me with it and all of the Sheikh’s writings by attributing them to the Sheikh, may his secret be sanctified, then About someone whose like was not allowed by time... the late Sidi Muhammad Al-Maghribi, nicknamed Al-Saghir... Then on the authority of the scholar Sheikh Ahmed Al-Maghribi Al-Maliki, and I read it to him after he read to me some of the Hanafi jurisprudence, so I approved of him and he granted me permission to do that and other things. Now some of the brothers asked me to explain the aforementioned prayers with words that are permissible... Then when I succeeded in completing them and the sun of their conclusion appeared... I calmed down to call them Al-Nuraniyyah based on the prayers for the best of creation...”, Explicit: “And he used to say: Whoever said it during his illness and then died, and the fire did not feed him, he has finished, and to God is the return and the end. This is the last thing that the pen wrote on the plate of what the pen ran on... With my shortcomings in this matter and my inability to take this path... Praise be to God alone, and prayers and peace be upon the most honorable of human beings... As soon as the time came and the colors came together.”, Colophon: “Authorial” and “Scribal” [?], reads “It was written in eight days and I folded it up.” The closing tents are on the fifth of the fifth of the tenth of the fourth of the twelfth, and praise be to God, and God is great.”, Collation: 3 V(30), I (32); chiefly quinions; catchwords present; pagination in pencil, Western numerals, supplied during digitization (includes inserts)., Layout: Written mainly in 23 lines per page ; frame-ruled., Script: Naskh ; clear Syrian / Turkish hand; Partially (though irregularly) seriffed with right-sloping head-serifs on occasional free-standing alif, lām, etc., curvilinear descenders, pointing in strokes rather than distinct dots, freely ligatured, and kāf mashkūlah (mashqūqah) preferred; Partially vocalized., Decoration: Keywords and text being commented upon rubricated ; textual dividers in the form of hāʼ or disc in red; some overlining in red; diagrams in margins (p.19, 23, etc.)., Support: European laid paper with 6-7 laid lines per cm. (vertical), chain lines spaced 27 mm. apart (horizontal), crown-star-crescent watermark (90 mm. tall, parallel to chains, see p.52, 57, etc.), three crescents watermark (100 mm. long, perpendicular to chains, see p.66, 67, etc.) and "V d" under trefoil countermark (see p.55); cloudy formation, sturdy and thick, cream in color, well-burnished to glossy., Binding: Heavy wove paper cover in pale mint green (single sheet, limp binding without boards); sewing in yellow thread, two stations, now damaged with most threads broken or lost; cover ill-fitting and in poor condition with significant staining, abrasion, tears, etc., Former shelfmark: From inner front cover and lower cover, "IL 401" (likely supplied by Yahuda, see acquisitions slip)., Accompanying materials: a. Acquisitions slip from Yahuda (pp.1-2) -- b. Inventory cataloguing slip in hand of Winifred Smeaton Thomas (pp.3-4)., Origin: At close on p.67, the author has indicated that the composition was completed in eight days with the date of completion expressed in fractions, the fifth of the fifth of the tenth of the fourth tenth of the twelfth (“fourth tenth of the twelfth”) which may be interpreted as Jumādá I 1135 [February-March] 1723] but seems inconsistent with the information in the opening matter where the author indicates he traveled to Istanbul in 1140 [1727 or 8]. This copy possibly fairly contemporary or mid-18th century., Occasional marginal corrections., Shelfmark: Ann Arbor, University of Michigan, Special Collections Research Center, Isl. Ms. 524
Sample Text	Possible autograph copy of a commentary by Muḥammad ibn Sulaymān al-Ḥalabī al-Rīḥāwī [al-Rayḥāwī] on a prayer for the Prophet (begins “O God, extend your prayers to the first revelations bestowed by the divine blindness...”) attributed to Muḥyī al-Dīn Ibn ʻArabī (d.1240).
