Transliterated title: Banāt Su‛ād.
The manuscript is a copy of an ancient Arabic poem by Ka'b bin Zuhayr, a famous Arab poet who was initially critical of Prophet Muḥammad. His criticisms had put him in grave danger of losing his life. He finally repented and asked for forgiveness from Prophet Muḥammad who forgave him. The poem reflects his apology and acceptance of Prophet Muḥammad’s authority. The manuscript is written in Arabic with extensive comments in Mandinka Ajami. The owner made the extensive Mandinka glosses throughout the manuscript so that he and other Mandinka speakers can better understand the story and points of Ka'b bin Zuhayr.
Custodial history: The manuscript owner inherited it from his brother (Imam Nimbaly Thiam) after his death, who had inherited it from their father. Their father was born in the region of Sedhiou.
