Begins (f. 1v, lines 2-5):
يقول الفقير إلى الله الغني
خضر بن محمود بن عمر العطوفي الحمد لله الكافي والصلوة على نبيه الشافي
وعلى من تبعه بإحسان إلى يوم الحساب والميزان وبعد
فإن الاعتدال من الأبدان بمنزلة الإنسان من الإنسان
Ends (f. 164v, lines 5-9):
... فإن الصحة القلبية
تستتبع صحةً قالبيةً لائقةً بالمؤمن مناسبةً له من تحصيل
المقامات فامحض المجمادة فيها مع التجوع المتوسط يلزمك
باذن الله تعالى أمورٌ أدناها الصحة القالبية مع العلم
بأسبابها على الوجه الأتم ...
Colophon (f. 164v, lines 9-15):
... تم الكتاب الطب النبوي بعون
الله تعالى القوي الحمد لله الذي هدانا لهذا وما كنا
لنهتدي لولا أن هدانا الله والصلوة على رسولنا
أشرف الخلق محمد وآله الأمجاد وعلى سائر الأنبياء والمرسلين
وعلى الملائكة المقربي وعلى أهل الطاعة الله من أهل السماوات
وأهل الأرضين أجمعين برحمتك يا أرحم الراحمين
يا حي يا قيوم يا الله يا الله
