Nuzhat al-nāẓirīn fī al-akhbār wa-al-āthār al-marwīyah ʻan al-anbiyāʼ wa-al-ṣāliḥīn نزهة الناظرين في الأخبار والآثار المروية عن الأنبياء والصالحين
Ibn al-Muná al-Bābī, ʻAbd al-Malik ibn ʻAlī ابن المنى البابي، عبد الملك بن علي
- Scope & Content:
-
Encyclopaedia on ethics based on traditions of the pre-Islamic prophets by Taqī al-Dīn ʻAbd al-Malik ibn Abī al-Muná al-Bābī al-Ḥalabī al-Ḍarīr (تقي الدين عبد الملك بن أبي المنى البابي الحلبي الضرير, d. 1435), known as ʻUbayd (عبيد), imām, preacher (خطيب) and teacher at the Ummayad Mosque in Aleppo (الجامع الكبير الأموي بحلب). The present manuscript is Volume One (الجزء الأول), which contains the first twenty books (كتب) of the work. A table of contents, which includes the names of the books and chapters (أبواب) into which each is subdivided and the folios on which the books and chapters begin, is found on ff. 1v-6v. A short biographical sketch of the author is found at the foot of the title page (f. 10r).
The scribe is Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad ibn Ḥasan al-Bābī (?) al-Shāfiʻī (محمد بن أحمد بن حسن الٮاٮي الشافعي, see colophon, f. 266r, line 22, transcribed below).
Between the table of contents and the main text (ff. 7r-9r) is a short Chapter on the Virtue of [the Month] Rajab (فصل في فضل رجب), which begins with a prophetic tradition (حديث) transmitted by Abū al-ʻAlāʼ Ḥāmid ibn Uways (? أبو العلاء حامد بن أويس [؟]). This text was not copied by the hand of the scribe of the main text and the relationship between this text and the main text is unclear.
Begins (f. 2v, lines 2-4):
الحمد لله الذي أحيا قلوب العارفين باتساع رحمته وألهمهم
من التوسل إليه ما يدفعون به عظيم أخذه وعقوبته ووهب
لهم ن مطايا الحزن والبكاء ما يتوصلون به إلى منازل جنته
Ends (f. 266r, lines 16-19):
وقال بن (!) زيد نجت الناهية وهلكت الفرقتان وهذه أشد
آية في ترك النهي عن المنكر قوله تعالى فلما عتوا عن ما نهوا عنه
أبوان (!) يرجعوا عن المعصية قلنا لهم كونوا قردة أمر تحويل
وتكوين خاسئين مبعدين مطرودين ...
Colophon (f. 266r, lines 19-24):
... تم الربع الثاني وهو
ربع العادات ونبدوا الآن في الربع الثالث وهو ربع المهلكات
وصلى الله على سيدنا محمد وآله وصحبه وسلم تسليمًا كثيرًا إلى يوم الدين
بيد (؟) محمد بن أحمد بن حسن الٮاٮي الشافعي
رحمه الله كاتبه ومؤلفه ولمن نظر فيه ولكل
أمة محمد أمين الحمد لله رب العالمين
