This volume contains a religious didactic work in Chagatai. The above title is taken from the colophon, and the correct title, if indeed there is one, has not been identified. Unusually, the anonymous author proceeds directly from the doxology to the exposition of his didactic message. The text includes numerous Prophetic ahadith with translations, as well as stories of the prophets and early Muslims.

The text comprises the following twelve fusul:

• Fi tufan Nuh ‘alayh al-salam. On the flood of Noah (4r)
• Qissa-’i Ashab-i Fil. The narrative of the Companions of the Elephant (14r)
• Fi’l-tawba. On repentance (17r)
