Oriental Manuscripts

Or 16612

Unidentified tafsir

Contents

The surviving portion of an early Persian commentary on the Qur’ān. The author's identity is unknown.

The manuscript in its present state contains almost exactly four and a half Juz’, i.e. just over one-seventh of the whole: from bi-taḥiyya in 4:86, the penultimate aya of Ḥizb 9 (the first half of Juz’ 5) to va ‘ind Allāh makruhum in 14:46, almost at the end of Juz’ 13. The last 8 folios properly belong between 144 and 145. They contain the passage missing from from the latter part of the commentary on lā takhānū Llāh va l-Rasūl in 8:26 to fa-nbiz ilayhim ‘alà savā’ in 8:58, near the end of Juz’ 9.

Begins: ba-taḥiyyatin Va chūn taḥiyyat dāda shavīd ba-salām Fa-ḥayyū pas taḥiyyat gū’īd taḥiyyat gūyanda-rā bi-aḥsana minhā nīkūtar az ān taḥiyyat. Mas̲alan agar ū gūyad ki al-salām ‘alaykum shumā dar javāb-i ū bagū’īd ki ‘alayka l-salām va raḥmat Allāh

Ends: Qad makarū makrahum Va ba-durustī ki kūshish kardand dar ḥīla ānchi nihāyat-i makr-i īshān būd dar ibṭāl-i ḥaqq va is̲bāt-i bāṭil va ‘ind Allāh va nazdīk-i Khudāyast makruhum
