Malay texts on prayer and marriage
- Scope & Content:
-
Texts on prayer (sembahyang) and marriage (nikah), in Malay in Jawi script.
ff.2v-8r: Catechism on prayer (sembahyang), in question and answer form. (f.8v is a copy of the beginning of this text in a much poorer hand.)
ff.9r-14r: Instructions on prayers for the dead (Ini niat sembahyangkan mayat laki-laki)
ff.14r-27v: Text on marriage (inilah kitab pada menyatakan hukum nikah); incomplete.
Annotated on f.1r: Sumarcandee [i.e. al-Samarqandi], with a statement in Malay naming the owner as Tuan Alperes of Kampung Salemba in Batavia, and the scribe as Duljabar, who had come to Batavia from Cirebon; he apologises for his handwriting 'like hens' scratchings'. Alamat surat kitab Samarqandi Tuan Alperes yang empunya dia yang telah duduk dalam daerah Kampung Salemba adanya. Dan yang menyurat kitab ini Enci' Du al-Jabar anak Cerebon, kecil ia datang di Betawi baharu belajar menyurat daripada Tuan Alperes menyurat apakan dia dengan seboleh2 hamba suratkan takut hamba dikatakan tiada mau serta malas inilah akan rupanya melainkan maaf jua perbanyak2 kepada tuan2 yang membaca dia karena suratannya bagai cakar hayam demikian adanya. This appears to be the colophon referred to in Ricklefs & Voorhoeve (1977: 121) as belonging to IO Islamic 2906 (old number Arab. 2906; Loth 381), from which MSS Malay C 7 was extracted.
