On f. 24r. is mentioned Muhammad Hanafiah, son of Sahĕmarĕdang Ali Morĕtala (Shāhi Mardān 'Alī al-Murtaḍā). At the end Muhammad Hanafiah assembles his relatives and announces his intention to attack Damĕse' (Damascus) after having visited the tomb of the Prophet in Madinah.
On ff. 45r-47r., teachings given by the Prophet to Ali (cf. Add. 12367, ff. 122v.-126r.); in this section all the proper names are given in Arabic script. On f. 47v., a short love-poem in Arabic with interlinear Buginese translation. (Upside down).On ff. 48r-49v., numerous examples of calligraphic letter headings, some in black and red ink, mostly variations on the formula Qawluhu al-haqq. On f. 49v there are also sketches of coiled snakes and some foliate motifs.
In Bugis language and script.
