Contents
Summary of Contents: Miscellany or majmūʿah of sūrahs from the Qurʾān, extracts or complete ritual and elective supplications accompanied by Persian annotations, traditions of prophets and imams, litanies, eulogies and other poems, moralist anecdotes, magic squares and talismans, medicinal recipes, and genealogies of the Chishtī and Qādirī Sufi orders, written by or for a Sufi or Sunnī religious officiate (possibly Shaykh ʿAbd al-Ṣamad Ṣiddīqī) over the course of several years, without particular order, for private use. Though damaged, the volume illustrates the range and depth of traditional and esoteric knowledge required in late-eighteenth-century India. Volume not dated; datable to late eighteenth century.
