Summary of Contents: رسالة في مناقب الصحابة وغيره An acephalous and untitled Arabic MS. on the virtues of the Prophet's
companions (as-Sahaba), given to me in Constantinople in April, 1908, by Dr
Ridá Tawfiq. The first complete article with title begins on f. 3:
ومن مناقب الامام أبى بكر رضى الله عنه قال العلماء افضل المهاجرين السيد أبى (sic) بكر
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
Rajab 27, 885/Oct. 3, 1480.
