Summary of Contents: الزهر المنثور على شرح الصدور في احوال الموتى والقبور Az-Zahru'l-Manthúr, a commentary by 'Abdu's-Salám ibn Ibráhim al-Laqání
on as-Suyuti's work on the state of the Dead in their tombs, entitled Sharhu's-
Sudúr fí Ahwáli'l-Mawtà wa'l-Qubúr. For the text and its author (d. 911/1505)
see Brockelmann, vol. II, p. 146, No. 30; and for the commentator, who died
1078/1668, ibid., p. 307. After the Bismilláh the commentary begins quite abruptly: جبر الخ
قوله ابو نعيم اسمه احمد بن عبد الله قوله مجاهد بن جبر This commentary might be a help to understanding the text, but is of little value or interest without it.
