companions (as-Sahaba), given to me in Constantinople in April, 1908, by Dr

الصديق وأقدمهم اسلاماً وأكرمهم وأعزّهم بعد رسول الله صلعم الخ Then follow similar articles on 'Umar (f. 16) and 'Ali (f. 29), but the latter
breaks off abruptly on f. 37" and is followed by a blank page. F. 38 begins: قال رسول الله صلعم من سره أن ينظر الى آدم عليه السلام في عليه الخ Another similar break occurs after f. 77, and the remainder of the volume (ff.
78-101) is filled with prayers. Ff. 101 of 17.8 x 13'3 c. and 19 ll., large, coarse naskh with rubrications, dated
