This is part 3 of 9 installments in total of the first ever published version of the dictionary; part 3 contains entries starting with alif upto abis (habis), the rest is missing. The 9 parts that were to be published are only a fraction (first 6 letters of the Arabic alphabet) that have been preserved of the original manuscript. Copyist: al-‘Alim al-Fadhil al-Marhum Raja Haji ‘Ali ibni al-Marhum Raja Haji Ahmad ibni al-Marhum Raja Haji al-Syahid fi-sabil-Allah ta’ala di negeri Melaka Raja Ali Haji.
