Title: Javāhir-i khamsahTitle: جواهر خمسهRare treatise concerned chiefly with practical aspects of Sufism, especially prayer and invocations by Abū l-Muʾayyid Muḥammad ibn Khaṭīr al-Dīn (or Quṭb al-Dīn), known as Muḥammad Ghaws̲ Gvāliyārī (d. 970/1562-3) who claimed to be descended from Farīd al-Dīn ‘Aṭṭār
