PREFACE.

It was stated in Volume I of the " Catalogue Raisonne of the
Buhar Library" [Calcutla, 1921) that the cataloguing of the Arabic
manuscripts had been begun in 1905 to 1906 by Maulavi Abul KJiair
Muhammad Yusuf , and that what Shams-ul- Ulama' Dr. Hidayat Husain
was appointed to do was to T-evise and complete what the other
had begun. A comparison of Maulavi Abul Khair Muhammad Yusuf's
and Shams-ul-'Ulama' Dr. Hidayat Husain's notices has shown that
the Shams-ul-'Ulama' had much more to do than revise and complete
his brother-scholar's work : he had to write a new catalogue. I have
tlierefore omitted Maulavi Abul Kliair Muhammad Yusuf's name fr6m
the title-page.

The manuscripts deserving of special mention on account of their
excellence in calligraphy and illumination are : — Man La Yahduruhu'l
Fakih (No. 50), Dala'il al-Kliairat (No. 60), Munajat Amir al-Mu'minin
(No. 64), as-Sahifat al-Kamila (Nos. 65, 66 and 68), al-Ikbal bi Salih
al-A'mal (No. 75), al-Asfar al-Arba'a (No. 331), Kalimat Maknuna
(No. 409), and Diwan 'Ah (No. 426).

From the point of view of uniqueness or rarity the following
manuscripts, among others, deserve special mention : — Sharh Mishkat

(No. 204) al'-Kashkiil fi_ ma Jara 'Ala Al ar-Rasul (No. 205), Miftah

al-Kliata'i (No. 401). Rasa'il Ibn al-'Amid (No. 412) and I'lam

The Arabic collection cannot boast of possessing any MS. of an
early age, but the following works may be of some interest for the
students of Arabic palaeography : —

Abu 'Amr 'Uthman bin Sa'id ad-Dani al-Kurtubi. He was born
in Denia in Spain in A.H. 371, A.D. 981 and made the pilgrimage
to Mecca in A.H. 397, A.D. 1006. He remained four months at
Kairawan and a year at Cairo. On his return he settled in his
native town and died there in A.H. 444, A.D. 1053. For details
of the author's life see al-Makkarl, Vol. I., p. 550 ; Yakut, Vol. II.,
p. 540; Wiistenfeld, Gesch. No. 197; Noldeke Gesch. d. Qoran'

The author says in the preface that he composed the present
short work on the seven " Readings ' ' of the text of the Kur'an
at the request of his friends and pupils, and concerning each reading
he quotes two reliable " narrations " of that " Reading." Before
dealing with the "Readings" of the text of the Kur'an, the
author gives a short account of the " Seven Readers " of the text
of the Kur'an and some of their pupils.

AL-KASHSHAF 'AN HAKA'IK AT-TANZIL.

A well-known commentary on the Kur'an, by J^4,.sv/<> ^.J^'il) yj

^.yivii^vll j^ j^ Abu'l Kasim Mahmiid bin 'Umar az-Zamakh-

shari. He was born at Zamaklishar in Ivliawarizm in A.H. 467,
A.D. 1074. The early part of his life was spent in travelling for the
sake of study. He made the pilgrimage to Mecca, and on account
of his lengthy sojourn there, he obtained the surname of Jdralldh
the neighbour of God. He died in the town of Jurjaniya in A.H.
538, A.D. 1143. He was a Mu' tazila and his commentary is full
of the doctrines of the sect. For his life see Ibn KhaUikan (Teheran
edition) Vol. II., p. 197; Mir'at al-Janan, (library copy), Vol. IT.,
fol. 163; Taj at-Tarajim, p. 53; Nuzhat al-Alibba', p. 469 ; al-
Fawa'id al-Bahiya, p. 87 ; Brockelmann, Gesch. d. x\rab. Litter.
Vol. I., p. 289.
Beginning : —

This commentary is well known in the Islamic world and is
specially famous for the light that it throws upon the grammatical,
rhetorical and philological aspects of the Kur'an. Ibn Khallikan,
(Teheran edition), Vol II., p. 198, says that " az-Zamaldishari
began his preface with the words ^j^L'il ^^-^ i^ ^ ^*^l (praise
be to God who created the Kur'an). But when his friends said to
him, 'if you use the word /d^ (created), no orthodox Muhammadan
will use it', he changed the word ^ji^ (created) to J-*^ which also
according to Mu'tazila doctrines, means created, though this word
has different significations to the orthodox people. Later on this
word J-fL^ was replaced by orthodox people to J)i' revealed.' '
This work was completed in Rabi' II, A.H. 528, A.D. 1134. See
Haji Khalifa, Vol. V., p. 179.

ANWAR AT-TANZIL WA ASRAR AT-TA'VIL.

A most popular commentary on the Kur'an by AUIj.xC|^>j>iI^^li

^^LojlxII ao.s^ ^j j^ ^i Nasir ad-Din 'Abdallah bin 'Umar bin

Muhammad al-Baidavi. He was born at Baida, a little town in
Ears. His father, 'Umar bin Muhammad, was a grand Kadi of that
orovince. He himself held the OfHce of Kadi of Shiraz for a

considerable time. It is regrettable and surprising that there should
be so great an uncertainty as regards the date of al-Baidavi's
death, whose name is uni\rersally familiar to all students of Arabic
literature. According to Taj al-'Urus, Vol. V., p. 11, and Iktifa'
al-Kunu', p. 114, he died in A.K. 691, A.D. 1291; Mir'at al-
Janan (library copy). Vol. II., fol. 3n6, and Habib as-Siyar, Vol.
Ill,, juz' I, p. 77, place the date one year later, i.e. A.H. 692,
A.D. 1292; TarJidi-i-Guzida (Gibb Memorial edition), p, 118 calls
him Nasir ad-Din Abii Sa'd (according to Haji Kliallfa, Vol, T,, p.
469, Abu Sa'id) 'Abdallah bin Muhammad bin 'Ali al-BaidavI;
and gives A.H. 605, A.D. 1208, as the date of his death, Miftah-
as-Sa'ada, Vol, I,, p. 436 mentioned two dates — A.H, 641, A.D.
1243, and A.H. 685, A.D. 1286; as-Suyuti, in Bughyat al-Wu'at,
p. 286, points to A.H. 685, A.D. 1286^, and A.H. 691, A.D. 1291.
But in my opinion his death took place in A.H. 685, A.D. 1286,
as this date is given by Miftah as-Sa'ada (Vol. I., p. 436) on the
authority of as-Salah as-Safadi (d. A.H, 764, A,D. 1362) who
again bases the authenticity of this date, A.H, 685, A.D. 1286,
on the authority of Najm ad-Din Sa'id ad Dehli, nearest in
point of time to al-Baidavi. See also Nuzhat al-Jalis, Vol. 11., p,
88; Subki, Tabakat al-Kubra, Vol. V,, p, 59; Rawdat al-Jannat,

Gesch. d. Arab. Litter, Vol. I., p. 416; Rieu, Persian Cat., Vol. II.,
p. 823; and Casiri, Eacuria Cat., No. 1296.
. Beginning: —

This commentary is chiefly based on az-Zamakhshari's al-
Kashshaf, but in it the author has added much matters in refuta-
tion of Mu'tazilite doctrines, and other matters drawn from other
sources. It is the favourite commentarv of the Sunnis in the east.

' Abd al-Hakim bin Shams ad-Din as-Siyalkuti. He was born and
brought up at Siyaikut in the Punjab, He was the pupil of
Mawlana Kamal ad-Din al-Kashmiri and was regarded by his
contemporaries as a most sound and perfect scholar. During the
time of the Emperor Jahangir (A.H. 1014-1037, A.D. 1605-1628)
he was teaching students in his native land, but in the Emperor
Shah Jahan's reign (A.H. 1037-1069, A.D. 1628-1659) became to

mad bin 'Umar al-Khafail al-Misrl. He first studied under his
uncle, Abu Bakr ash-Shanawanl and then became a pupil of Shaikli
al-Islim Muhammad ar-Ramli and other eminent 'Ulama of his
time. After finishing his studies, he proceeded with his parents on
a pilgrimage to M ecca. From there he came to Constantinople and
soon became a Kadi in Romailia. Sultan Murad being convinced
of his ability, appointed him a Kadi of Salonica. Later on he
was given the Kadiship of Egypt, but owing to some reason or
other he was dismissed from his post. He then undertook a
journey to Constantinople. First he went to Damascus and then
to Aleppo and from there he arrived at Constantinople. Yaha bin
Zakariya, the chief 77iujtl of the Capital, refused to receive him,
but later on he became favourably disposed towards him and al-
Khafaji was again given the Kadiship of Egypt. He died on the
12th Ramadan, A.H. 1069, 23rd May, A.D. 1658. For details

Hamid bin *Abd ar-Rahim al-Jawnpurl. He was an emment scho-

came to Dehli where he was included by Shah 'Alam (A.H. 1173
-1202, A.D. 1759-1788) among the learned men of his court.
Later on he became a tutor of the prince i\.bu Nasr Mu'In ad-Dln

last part of his life, he returned to his native place where he died.

The author says in the preface that during his lectures on-
al-Baidavi, he found that many commentators of it had not paid
sufficient attention to some abstruse passages of the book and had
remained very far from grasping the real sense of them. Conse-
quently he had been led to prepare a supercommentary of al-
Baidavi in oider to explain the more subtle and difficult points of
the said work.

Ghazali) ; so there can be no doubt that the book under notice

Zain ad-Din Aba Hamid Muhammad bin Muhammad al-Gliazali.
He was born in AH. 450, AD. 1059 (not in A.H. 441, A.D.
1049 as given by Huart in his History of Arabic Litera-
ture, p. 265) at Ghazala, a dependency of Tus in Ivliurasan.
After studying in his native land, he went to Jurjan for further
studies and then proceeded to Naisabur where he sat at the feet of
the Imam al-Haramain Abu'l Ma'ali 'Abd al Malik alJuwaini,
died, A.H. 478; A.D. 1085 (for his life see De Slane, Ibn Khallikan,
Vol. II., p. 120), under whose instruction he became a profound
scholar. After the death of his master he attached himself to the
famous Vizir Nizam al-Mulk (for his life see De Slane, Ibn
I-Lhallikan, Vol. I., p. 413) who in A.H. 484, A.D. 1091 (not in A.H.
446, A.D. 1054 as written by Huart, p. 265) appointed him as the
Principal of the Nizamiya College at Bagdad. But in the month
of Dlm'l Ka'da, A.H. 488, November, A.D. 1095, he gave up all
the occupations in which he had been hitherto engaged and gave
himself up to asceticism and dervishhood. He then undertook
the pilgrimage to Mecca and, on his return, proceeded to Syria
and stopped for sometime at Damascus. He then set out for
Jerusalem, where he applied himself with ardour to the practices
of devotion and visited the holy monuments and venerated
spots of that sacred ground. He next passed on to Egypt and
remained for some time at Alexandria, and finally returned to his
native land, where he died in A.H. 505, A D. 1111.

The word Ghazali is also pronounced with double Z as
Ghazzali. De Slane in the translation of Ibn Khallikan 's Bio-
graphical Dictionary, Vol. I., p. 80 says. " Ghazzali is a derivative
from Ghazzal (cotton spinner), formed after the system generally
followed by the people of Khawarizm and Jurjan, who form
Kassar (a fuller) from Kassarl; and form 'Attar (a druggist) from
'Attarl. Some pronounce Ghazali with a single Z, deriving it from
Ghazala, the name of a village in the dependencies of Tus ; but
this pronunciation differs from the one in general use, though as-
Sam'anl has adopted it in his Ansab." For his life, see Ibn
Khallikan (Teheran edition) Vol. II., p. 37 ; Subki, at-Tabakat al-
Kubra, Vol. IV , pp. 101-182; Yakut, Mu'jam al-Buldan, Vol. III.,

Jalal ad-Din ' Abd ar-Rahman bin Abl Bakr bin Muham-
mad as-Suyuti. He belonged to a Persian family who had
been residing for three hundred years at Suyut in Upper Egypt ;
but he himself was born at Cairo in A.H. 849, A.D. 1445. " He
studied under renowned teachers in every branch of Islamic learn-
ing. In A.H. 869, A.D. 1464 he v/ent on the pilgrimage to Mecca.
On his return, through the influence of his master, 'Alam ad-Din
Bulkini, he was appointed the senior professor of jurisprudence
at the Shaikhuniya Madrasa at Cairo. He lost his post in A.H.
908, A.D. 1501. On the death of Ibn Ballan, the successor
to his professorial chair, the same appointment was again offered
to him, but he refused it. He died in retirement on 18th
Jumada I, A.H. 911^ 17th October^ A.D. 1505.

as-Suyuti most probably wrote a larger number of books
than any other Islamic writer. Brockelmann, Gesch. d. Arab.
Litter, Vol. II., pp. 143-158 contains the names of three hundred
and sixteen works written by as-Suyuti. Fliigel (Haji Khalifa

This commentary is narrated by Muhammad bin Ibrahim bin
Ja'far an-Nu'mani on the authority of his father and others from
the said Imam. an-Nu'man! was a pupil of Muhammad bin
Ya'kub al-KulainI who died in A.H, 328^ AD. 939 or A.H. 329,
A.D. 940 (vide Rawdat al-Jannat, p. 550) and was a recognised
authority on Hadith. He died in Syria. For other particulars of
his Kfe see Ami al-Amil, p. 58; Muntaha'l Makal, p. 252; Shu-
Dhur al-Ikyan, Vol. II., fol. 17 ; and Rawdat al-Jannat, p. 555.

Dr. Loth in his catalogue of the India Office, No. 50, states
that Abu'l Hasan 'Ali bin Ibrahim (bin Hashim al-Kummi),
who flourished in the fourth century, is the author of a commentary
founded chiefly on the alleged sayings of Imams Abu Ja'far
(Muhammad Bakir) and Abu 'Abdallah (Ja'far as-Sadik). The
general description of the book, which is given in the said cata-
logue, shows that the MS. under notice is identical with that of
the India Office, and I am of opinion that the narrator of the
commentary is Muhammad bin Ibrahim bin Ja'far an-Nu'mani
and not 'All bin Ibrahim bin Hashim al-Kumml as supposed by
the learned doctor. No doubt al-Kumml is also an author of a
commentary which begins as follows : —

But his commentary is not founded on the authority of Imam
Ja'far. See Kashf al-Hujub, p 131. The only commentary
which is composed on the sayings of the said Imam is by an-
Nu'manl, See Kashf al-Hujub wa'l Astar, p. 130 ; and also Bihar
al-Anwar, Vol. I., p. 7, in which the author, Muhammad bin

He was born at Madlna in A.H. 231, AD. 845 or A.H. 232, A.D.
846 and died, A.H. 260, A.D. 874. He is considered by the Shi'a
theologians as the eleventh Imam. See for his life Ibn Khallikan

Vol. I., fol 217; Tarildi Guzlda, p. 207; and Safinat al-Awliya',

Shl'a scholars differ in opinion about the authorship of the
present commentary. Some authorities consider it to be fraudu-
lently attributed to the said Imam, while trustworthy authorities,
like Abu Ja'far Muhammad bin 'Ali bin Babuya al-Kumml, known
as ash-Shaikh as-Saduk, d. A.H. 381, A.D. 991 (see for his life
No. 50) and others believe it to be the work of the said Imam.
al-Majlisi in his famous work Bihar al-Anwar, Vol. I., p. 9, has also
supported the latter view and said that the commentary is one
of the known and reliable books and that many learned scholars
profusely quoted from it. See also Muntaha'l Makal, p. 288 ; Kashf
al-Hujub Wa'l Astar, p. 129. Shah 'Abd al-'Aziz ad-Dehlavi, in

SHAMA'IL AN-NABI.

A collection of Traditions concerning the person, manners and

character of the Prophet by j^^JI ^^*^c ^ o>.a.sw^ j^^^ y) Abu

Isa Muhammad bin 'Isa at-Tirmidhi. He was born at Bugh near
Tirmidh, a small town on the bank of the Oxus in Central Asia. He
studied Traditions under al-Bukhari (died, A.H. 256, A.D. 869) and
travelled all over the Islamic countries in search of Traditions. He
died in his native land in A.H. 279, A.D. 892. About the pronun-
ciation of the word Tirmidh, Dr. Slane in his translation of Ibn
Khallikan, Vol. II., pp. 602 and 679 says : '' The word Tirmidh is
pronounced differently. Some say Turmidh, and some Tirmidh ;
the inhabitants themselves pronounce it Tarmidh ; the pronuncia-
tion which was long familiar to us was Tirmidh ; but persons, who
pretend to exactness and possess information on the subject, pro-
nounce it Turmudh. Each of these pronunciations has its partisans,

22

who give reasons in support of their respective opinions." See
also Sam'ani, Kitab al-Ansab (Gibb Memorial Series), p. 1056 and
Yakut, Mu'jam al-Buldan, Vol. I., p. 843.

^yys^\ yyl1i\ ^li — ''>ij^-^ Maj dad-Din Abu's Sa'adat Mubarak bin

Abi'l Karam Muhammad bin Muhammad ash-Shaibani, known
as Ibn al-Athir al-Jazarl. He was born in AH. 544, A.D. 1149
in the city called Jazira bin 'Umar, situated on the Tigris,
and hence he is surnamed al-Jazari After passing his early
youth in that place he went to Mosul and entered into the
service of Mujahid ad-Din Ka'imaz (for his life, ^ee De Slane,
Vol. II J p. 510), the Lieutenant-Governor of that place, and
was employed by him to write his correspondence. After the
imprisonment of Ka'imaz he served 'Izz ad-Din Mas'ud bin
Mawdud, the Lord of Mosul. After that prince's death, his
son Nur ad-Din Arsalan Shah (see De Slane, Vol. I., p. 174) treat-
ed Ibn al-AthIr with much consideration and showered his favours
upon him. Ibn al-Athir served him for some time in the capacity
of Secretary of State, ti:! a disease prevented him from further
fulfilling the duties of his office. He gave up that appointment
and confined himself to his house where he wrote many useful
books. He died at Mosul on Thursday, the 29th Dhu'l Hijja,
A.H. 606, June, A.D. 1209.

There were three persons known by the surname of Ibn al-

27

Athir, These three persons were brothers and well-known authors.
One of these was our author who was the eldest brother. The
second brother was the well-known historian, the author of al-
Kamil; his full name was Abu'l Hasan 'All bin Abi'l Karam
Muhammad bin Muhammad as]i-Shaibani, known as Ibn al- Athir
al-Jazari ; he died in gha'ban A.H. 630, May-June, A.D. 1233 (for
his life, see De Slane, Ibn Khallikan, Vol. II.. p. 288). The third
brother was piya' ad-Din Abu'l Fath Nasrallah bin Abi'l Karam
Muhammad bin Muhammad ash-Shaibani, known as Ibn al-Athir
al-Jazari, the author of al-Mathal as-Sa'ir fi Adab al-Katib
wa'sh Sha'ir, and died on Monday, the 29th of Rabi' 11, AH. 637,
28th November, A.D. 1239 (for his life, see De Slane, Vol. III., p
541). For further information about our author, see Ibn Khallikan

SHARK MISHKAT AL-MASABIH.

A concise commentary of the Mishkat al-Masab!h (see No. 32)
based chiefly on at-Taiyibi's commentary (see No. 34), by ^^ ^^

^la^fsvll u_iLj^^il o.j.>^ib 1 Sjjx.Jl ^c ^j j..6.sv.^ 'All bin Muhammad

bin 'All, known as as-Saiyid ash-Sharif al-Jurjani, died, A.H, 816,
A.D. 1413. See for his life No. 289. 'Ali al-Kari in his com-
mentary of Mishkat al-Masabih, Vol. III., p. 1>, had denied
the authorship of this commentary by as-Saiyid ash-Sharif al-
Jurjani and gave two reasons in support of his statement. The
first reason is that this commentary is not mentioned in the list
of the Ayorks by al-Jurjani, and the second is that it is incon-
ceivable that an author of such erudition and distinction could
have been satisfied by merely abridging the work of at-Taiyibi
without adding any comments of his own. These are the words
of 'Ali al-Kari : —

yjy^i'^ Ij^^ U^i^I ^^Ajiail j.^i' r-^aliv-J, SLxi" (LvJil^w ^« iJ>] (.xi(j , i.3(i.Jj..'0

36

I am personally inclined to ascribe the authorship of this com-
mentary to al-Jurjanl, notwithstanding the two above argu-
ments which 'All al-Kari puts forward against such an assump-
tion, for the following reasons : —

as-Sakhavi in his work ad-Daw al-Lami' mentions, on the
authority of a great-grandson of al-Jurjani this book among
his other works. Then, again, it is not correct to say that the
book is a mere abridgement of at-Taiyibi's work. al-Jurjani has
added remarks and comments of his own, though, indeed, their
number is small. Further Haji Khalifa, Vol. V., p. 568, remarks
that as-Saiyid ash-Sharif wrote a commentary on al-Mishkat.

Though the book begins abruptly, its identity has been
established by the fact that a passage which the Mirkat al-Mafatih
quotes from al-Jurjani's commentary. Vol. III., p. 16, is also found
in this book, on fol. 155&.

The commentary without any preface begins on fol. 4& as
follows : —

* ^^ ^^^ C^;l ^^

Foil, l-ia contain a treatise by al-Jurjani on the science of
Tradition and the technical terms used in it. This treatise
begins : —

In ad-Daw al Lami' where the works of al-Jurjani are enu-
merated, it has been named as ^j:^:^^^:^!] J^-^' ^^> ^^\jJaLf Lelliu'l

For copie? see Cairo Cat. Vol. I., p. 332.

All the quotations from the Mishkat al-Masabih follow after
the word <s.i^i which is written in red ink. The MS. is somewhat
soiled by damp. Foil. 1-9 and 240-248 have been partially bord-
ered with modern paper. The commentary on the last chapter

of the Mishkat iU))l xj.ib L_jly l_?Ij commences on fol. 2486 but it

ends with the following words : —

born in Egypt in A.H. 909, AD. 1503 according to an-Nur as-
Safir (the library copy, fol. 127a). But Rieu in his Arabic Suppl.
Cat No. 192, has given two dates, viz. A.H. 907, A.D. 1501, and
A.H. 911, A.D. 1505, as the date of his birth. The latter date
is given also by Brockelmann in his work Gesch. d. Arab. Litter.,
Vol. II., p. 388. He studied in Cairo and, after making several
pilgrimages to Mecca, he at last settled there in A.H. 940, AD.
1533. He is called mujtl of Hijdz. He died, according to an-Nur
as-Safir (the library copy fol. 1266) in A.H. 974, A.D. 1566. But
both Rieu (in his Arabic Suppl. Cat. p. 117, on the authority of
Kawakib as Sa'ira) and Brockelmann (Vol. II., p. 388) fix the year
of his death at A.H. 973, A.D. 1565; and Khulasat al-Atliar,

Kitab al-Kaba'ir wa Bayan al-Maharim on grievous sins and
began to write this work in A.H. 953 (A.D. 1546) in Ummal-Kura
(Mecca). The book consists of an introduction, two parts, and
an epilogue. The introduction or A^j^iiJI, beginning on fol. 2a^
gives the definition of grievous sins. The first part or JjV ^^Wl be-
ginning on fol. 166, treats of the " mental sins" mLU'I yUj^I. The
second part or ^iClfl ujUM bagianing on fol. 776, deals with the

TADHKIRAT AL-MAWDU'AT.

A treatise on Traditions falsely attributed to the Prophet,

by ^_5-^J^' i^_^^ ^J j^^^ j^-> ^xj-sv.^ Muhammad bin Tahir bin 'All

al-Fatani. He was born at Patan in Gujarat, A.H. 914, A.D.
1508. After completing the course of education in his native
land, he proceeded to Mecca for higher studies. He studied
Traditions there with eminent scholars, such as Ibn Hajar al-
Haitami, who died, A-H. 973, A.D. 1565 (see No. 44) and others.
He acquired much learning from 'All bin Husam ad-Din al-Muttaki,
who died, A.H. 975, A.D. 1567, and also became one of his devot-
ed disciples in the Kadiri and Shadhili orders. After his return
to his native land, he tried his utmost to spread learning and to
uproot the doctrines of Muhammad al- Jawnpuri who had claimed
to be the Mihdl of his time. These doctrines much prevailed
amongst the Buhras, a tribe of Gujrat to which Muhammad bin
Tahir belonged.

Li A.H. 980, A.D. 1572, Akbar (A.H. 9G3-1014, A.D. 1556-
1605) set out to conquer Gujarat. After its conquest he conferred
honour on Muhammad Tahir by tying with his own hand the turban
on his head, as, he thought, it was incumbent on him (Akbar) to
spread the true principles of Islam. When Kjian A'zam 'Aziz
Muhammad Kukaltash was appointed governor of Gujarat he
helped Muhammad Tahir in uprooting the new doctrines of the said
Mibdi. But when 'Abd ar-Rahim Klian Khanan came as gover-
nor after the said Khan 'Azam, Muhammad Tahir suffered much
trouble at the hands of the followers of the Mihdi, and proceeded
to the Court of Akbar in Akbarabad for redress. On his way
he was murdered at Ujjain by some followers of the Mihdi in A.H.

986, A.D. 1578. He is the author of many books. The word
Fatan is an arabicized form of Patan, otherwise called Naharwa-
la. For other particulars of his life see Akhbar al-Akhyar, p.
272; Subhat al-Marjan, p. 43 ; at-T'alikat as-Saniya, p. 67 ; Abjad
al-'Ulum, p. 895; Itahaf an-Nubala', p. 397; and Brockelmann,
Gesch. d. Arab. Litter.", Vol. 11., p. 416.
Beginning : —

The author says in the preface that 'Abd ar-Rahman bin 'All
called Ibn alJauzI, died, AH. 59 7, A.D. 1 200, had written a book
on this subject; but as the latter had included many authentic
Traditions in the category of forged ones, he compiled the present
book from reliable sources, in order that it might be of some use
to the students of Traditions. The book is divided into a pro-
logue and several chapters, a list of which is prefixed at the
beginning.

pupils. Malik Rukn ad-Din Dailami (A.H. 320-366, A.D. 932-

great respect. It is said that he was the author of three hundred

A.D. 949. While he was young he accompanied his father to
Baghdad. He became a great orator and debater. He is a re-
cognised authority among the Imamites. He died in A.H. 413,

The author in the preface says that he had found a class of
people of ordinary learning who thought that there were no reli-
able Traditions about the eminence and superiority of the luiams,
and consequently he composed the present work from trustworthy
sources in order to prove their eminence. The beginning of our
copy differs from that of Berlin Cat. in the first few words but

after the word l\*j Ul the two copies are identical.

SHARK AL-HISN AL-HASlN.

A commentary on al-Jazarl's prayer book called al-Hisan al-

Mulla Muhammad al-Hanafi at-Tabrizi. He is the author of
Sharh ar-Risalat al-Adudiya, Eisala fi Hall Ashkal Ta'rlf al-
Kadiya, Sharh Risalat al-Wajib, and other works. According to
Hajl Kjiallfa, Vol. I , p. 210, he died at Bukhara in about A.H.
900, A.D. 1494. But according to Brockelmaim, Vol. II., p. 217, he
flourished in A.H. 950, A.D. 1543. See also Berlin Cat. No. 5296.

Our author should not be confounded with another scholar called
Muhammad al-Hanafl. His full name was Muhammad bin
Hamzat al-HanafI al-'Aintabl. He was the author of a commen-
tary on Tafsir al-Baidavi and Glosses on al-Khayali. He died in
A.H. 1111, A.D. 1699." See Silk ad Durar, Vol. IV., p. 38.

Scholais dififer as regards the name of the transmitter of this
book to posterit^^ Some say that 'Umair bin al-Mutawakkil bin
Harun ath Thakafi was the narrator of this book while others
think that 'Umair's father al-Mutawakkil bin Harun narrated it.
For a full discussion, see Mantaha'l Makal, p. 251. See also
Tusi's al-Fihrist, p. 262, and Kashf al-Hujub, p. 367. This vvork
is also designated a.s-Sahifat as-Sajjadiya, because as-Sajjad was
one of the names of the said Imam.

With regard to the source, origin and number of prayers
which the book contains, see India Office Cat. No. 334. There is

a supplement or cuLasvJU.') which begins on fol. 126&«,nd is divided

RIYAl) AS-SALIKTN FI SHARK SAHIFAT SAIYID

AL-^4B1DIN.

A commentary- on al-Imam Zain al-'Abidin's famous work on
pravers called as-Sahlfat al-Kamila (see No. 65) by ,.> Ic ,.<j».JI ^s.-s

Sadr ad-Din ^Ali bin Ahmad bin Muhammad Ma'sum al-Husainl
ash-Shirazi, known as as-Saiyid 'All Khan a!-Madani. He was
born on the 15th Jumada I, A. H. 1052 (A.D. 1642) in Madina.
He received his early education from the learned men of Mecca and
Madina. In A.H. 1066, A.D. 1655, he left Mecca for Golconda,
the Deccan (India) to meet his father, who having married the
daughter of 'Abdallah Kutub Sliah (A.H. 1020-1083 A.D. 1611-
1672), the ruler of the Deccan, had settled there at that time. He
arrived at Golconda on Friday the 22nd, Rabr I, A.H. 106S,
A.D. 1657. After the death of Kutub Sliah, when Sultan Abfrl
Hasan (A.H. 1085-1098, A.D. 1672-1687) succeeded him, the
family of as Saiyid 'Ail Khan was maltreated by the new Sultan.
Accordingly he fled to Aurangzlb (A.H. 1069-11 IS, A.D. 1659-
1707) who Avas then engaged in the conquest of the Deccan and
was then at Burhanpiir. Aurangzlb received him with honour and
conferred upon him the niansab (i.e. rank) of the command of
1,500 men. When Aurangzlb proceeded to Aurangabad, he was
accompanied by as-Sayid 'All Khan, and the latter was left in
charge of the place when Aurangzib went to Ahmadnagar. Subse-
quently Aurangzlb placed him in charge of the famous Fort of
Berar, named Mahur, and he was made dlwdn of Burhanpur
thereafter. After some time he took leave of Aurangzib and pro-
ceeded with his whole family on pilgrimage to Mecca and Madina,
whence he also proceeded on a visit to the holy places of Baghdad,
Karbala, Najaf, Tus, etc. Afterwards he went to Isphahan, and
met Sultan Husain Safavi ^A.H. 1105-1135, A.D. 1694-1722), but
as he felt that he was not duly received and respected by the
Sultan he went to Shiraz, where he nassed the remainder of his
life in teaching pupils a? a professor of the Madrasa Mansurlya.
He died in A^H. 1117, A.D. 1705, or AH. 1120, A.D." 1708.
and not in A.H. 1104, A.D, 1692, as given by Brockelmann, Vol.
II., p. 421, as the present work, according to Kashf al-Hujub, p.

He was born on Thursday, i.5th Muharram, A.H. 589 (A.D. 1193),
remained for about fifteen years in Baghdad, and then went to
Hilla, and from there to Mashhad, after which he returned to
Baghdad. He is the author of many books. He died on Mon-
day, 5th Dhu'l Ka'ada A.H. 664 (A.D. 1265). See Ami al-Amil,

The author, in this book, has given prayers .ju^jI'I and ceremonies
cuIoUa-'Ij each of which is to be uttered and observed on one parti-

76

cular day of the year only and not more than once in a year.
The colophon indicates that at first the author divided the book
into two parts. The first part contained the religious observances
for the months of Dhu'l K'ada and Dhu'lHijja, and the second
part included the ceremonies from the month of Muharram up to
the month of Sha'ban. Subsequently the author changed the
order. In the first part (foil. 1-355) he wrote the observances
for ?*ruharram till Ramadan, and in the second part (fol. 356-524)
from Shawwal up to the end of Dhu'l Hijia. See Kashf al-Hujub,
p. 55.

A list of all the chapters is given on foil. 26-8a. The ink of
the first page is much faded. Fol. 156 and a portion of fol. 356a
are blank. The first two pages are decorated with a beautiful
'TJnwdn at the beginning; gold-ruled margins are to be found
throughout. Headings are in gold letters. Prayers are vocalised.
The name of the book as given on the title page, viz, ^ J: olj-iiJl ^j

owners are found on the title page. The title page and the last

Another but imperfect copy of the previous book. After
quoting three lines from the beginning of the preface and after
leaving a blank space, it begins abruptly on foil. 2a as follows : —

This vol. deals only with the observances of the month of
Ramadan. As the month of Ramadan is considered very sacred
by Muhammadans, some one probably made this copy for his
personal use. The first two pages are illuminated. It has a

77

beautiful ' Unwan at the beginning. Prayers are vocalized. The
MS. is somewhat stained with damp. Marginal notes are occa-
sional. The inner edge of the pages is pasted over with thick paper.

In this work the author has collected all those prayers which
are attributed to the Prophet and to the Imams. Before each
prayer, the name of the person, from whom that prayer emanated,
is mentioned. See Kashaf al-Hujub, p. 572. Haji Kjialifa, Vol.

All headings are in red ink. Double colourd margins are on
the border with a beautiful 'Umvan on the first page. On the
margin there are various corrections, and occasionally some notes in
Persian. From the colophon, it appears that the author complet-
ed this book on Friday, the 7th Jumada I, A.H. 662, and that
he died on Monday, the 5th Dhu'l Ka'ada, A.H. 664. The book

KUNUZ AL-JAWAHIR.

A work on scholastic theology preceded by a discourse on
medical science. The name of the author is not mentioned in the
book itself or its preface. On the title-page, some one has named
the book Kunuz al-Jawahir and Kunuz as Sihha, and has given
Fakhr ad-Din ar-RazI as the name of the author. Fakhr ad-Din ar-
RazI was a well-know Q author, whose full name was j«x:sv.^ ^j^xir^ivi
•JJI WO.C ^ Fakhr ad-Din Muhammad bin 'Umar ar-Razi, and who

died, A.H. 606, AD. 1209. See for his life No. 317.

But from the perusal of the following passages of fol. 192a, it
appears that the author flourished during the reign of the Caliph
Muktafibillah (A.H. 530-555, A.D. 1136-1160):—

KITAB AL-'ULUV.

A treatise about the locality of God on 'Arsh. The name of
the author is not mentioned in the text. On the title page, under
the name of the work {'Arsh al-'Ula), the author's name is given as
adh-I)hahab]. But a careful reading of the book itself shows that
it was not composed by adh-DhahabI, as on fol. 127a 'the author

of the treatise says : —

al-Khatib in his history and adh-Dhahabi and others have praised
him—."

According to Haji Klialifa, Vol. V., p. 115, three persons had
written on the subject of the locality of God on 'Arsh. One of
them was Ibn abi Shaiba Muhammad bin 'Uthman, died, c. A.H.
235, A.D. 849. The second was Ibn Taimiya, died, A.H. 728, A.D.
1328 ; and the third was adh Dhahabi, died, A.H. 748, A.D. 1348.
As adh-Dhahabi, is quoted as an authority in the body of the text,
as mentioned above, it is evident that the book under consideration
is a composition of later date. The name of the author could not
be traced, but the following passage on fol. 104a: —

shows that the writer of the book was a follower of al-Imam
Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Hanbal, died, A.H. 241, A.D. 855.

The MS. after praising God and invoking His blessings on the
Prophet, his descendants and companions, abruptly passes to the

The work ends with a quotation from tlie Ghunya of the most

following note on the title page about the date of the author's
birth, the composition of the work, and the death of the author : —

and a similar note in the colophon ;—

seem wrong, and written by some ignorant person. Because
the father of the author, Salim bin Ahmad bin Shaildian, accor-
ding to the author's own statement (cited in Kjiulasat al-Athar,
Vol. II., p. 200), was born on 27th Rabi' II, A.H. 995, A.D. 1587.

(and not in A.H. 1040 as given by Brockelmann, Vol. II., p. 407).
Therefore the date of birth of the author, A.H. 919, and the date of
his death, A.H. 992, as given in the notes, must be wrong. The
first fol. is supplied in a different hand. The title page contains

and there studied the Traditions of the Prophet. He held the
Offiice of Sadr as-Sudur in the court of the Emperor Akbar (A.H.

liberal. Blochmann in his translation of A'ln-i- Akbari, p. 546,
regarding the date of the death of this author, says " Badaoni
places his death in A.H. 991, (A.D. 1583), the Mirat in A.H. 992,
(A.p. 1584)." For details see Bada'tini, Vol. III., p. 79; Mir'at

written in fol. 236 as the date of transcript of a prayer, it is

it. The author of Muntaha'l Kalam supports this, for he says

known as Bahr al-'Ulum. He was born at Lucknow and was educa-
ted by his father. At the age of seventeen he received from his
father a Sanad of competency. He began to deliver lectures and
compose books. Unfortunately an event happened which forced
him to quit Lucknow. From there he went to 8hahjahanpur. He
next went to Rampur IState, where he remained for nearly five
years. But the rush of students to him was so great that, the
Nawwab was unable to meet their demands. Bahr al-'Ulum,
being dissatisfied with the Nawwab, left the place. At the request
of Munshi Sadr ad- Din, the ancestor of the presenter of the Buhar
Library to the Govt, of India, he came to Buhar, a village in
Burdwan, Bengal, and not improbably the Buhar Library was
founded by him. From Buhar he went to Madras, where he died
on the 12th Rajab, A.H. 1235, A.D. 1819. In Southern India he
is known as Malik al-'Uldmd', and in Northern India as Bahr al'

dence, namely KJiizdnat al-Wdki'dtabnd A^isdb al-Faklh. Then on
the requests of his friends he wrote the present book in a concise
form, and hence it was named KJiuldsa. The author at the begin-
ning of each section has given a list of contents for the help of
those engaged in giving Fatwd.

The beginning of our copy differs from that of India Office

There is a beautiful ' Umvdn, and the first two pages are decorated.
Gold and coloured lines are throughout on the margin. Up to fol.
18 glosses are found in the margin. The borders throughout are
changed to different paper. The latter part of the MS. has been
damaged by insects and by the pasting of paper over the worm-
eaten places. Headings of chapters in red ink. vStained with

was purchased on the 20th Dim'l Hijja, A.H. 1192, from a mer-
chant who had come to Calcutta from Dehli. There is a seal
above this note, but it has been defaced.

AL-FATAWAAT-TATARKHANIYA.

A work on jurisprudence according to the Hanafi school.
According to Shams Siraj 'Afif, Tarikh Firuz Shahi, p. 392, this
work was composed by order of Khan A'zam Tatar Khan by a
number of 'Ulama' at Dehliin 30 volumes. ' The Khan was a Turk
by origin, and was found in a cradle, when Ghiyath ad-Din Tugtlak
(A.H. 720-725, A.D. 1320-1324) attacked Multan and Dibalpur.
and brought before the king, who named him Tatar Malik (the
King's booty). During the reign of Muhammad II bin Tugilak
(A.H. 725-752, A.D. 1324-1351) he distinguished himself in several
battles, and finally in the reign of Firuz Shah (A.H. 752-790, A.D.
1351-1388) he was given the title of Tatar Khan and other very
high honours. He made the pilgrimage, and died a few years
after the accession of Firuz Shah. The Klian also set the 'Ulama'
of Dehh to compile the extensive commentary on the Kur'an,
named Tafsir Tatar Kliani after his name. See Shams Siraj , pp.
388-394. Haji Khalifa, Vol. 11. , p. 90, sa^^s that the author of the
work under notice is 'Alim bin 'Ala' al-Hanafi.

Our copy is without the earlier parts of the book, and begins

with a portion of >(,U)'I (-jUi"; but the first fol. is too defective to

quote. Consequently I give the beginning of the 2nd fol. as
follows : —

famous work al-MuhU, the letter ,^< is given as an abbieviation.

According to Haji Khalifa, Vol. 11., p. 90, the first chapter
of the complete book is on Knowledge. Sometimes the work is
designated Zad al-Mum/ir. Ibrahim bin Muhammad al-Halabi,
died, A.H. 956, A.D. 1549, has abridged the work.

JAMr AR-RUMUZ.

A commentary on Sadr ash-Sharl'at al-Asgtar ' Ubaidallah
bin Mas' ud al-Hanafi's abridgement of the Wikaya, called an-

Nukaya, by ^JtA^^il'I ^^JL,l,^iv.'i j>4^su-c ^^'' ^-*-*^ Shams ad-Din

Muhammad al-Khurasani al-Kubistani. He came from Khurasan
to Kuhistan, where he remained for some time. From the latter
place he went to Bukhara, and settled there. There he attained
reputation as a jurist of high order^ and became a Mufti of that
place and of the entire Transoxiana. He was a pupil of Shaikh
al-Islam al-Haravi, and died, according to some, in A.H. 962,
A.D. 1554, and according to others about AH. ?i50, A.D. 154 3.
Mawla Msam ad-Din had a very poor opinion of al-Kuhistani, and
did not consider him to be a jurist of rank. According to him al-
Kuhistani was a "broker" of books. See 'Abd al-Hai al-Lakh-

Haji Khalifa, has given two different dates for the death of
Sadr ash-Shari'at al-Asgtar (or ath-Thani) Ubaidallah bin Mas ud
al-Hanafi. In Vol. IL, p. 315, under the book Ta'dil al-'Ulvm,
and Vol. VI., p. 443, under the work Wishdh fVl Maani wa'l
Baydn, he says that Sadr ash Shari'at al-As^ar died in A.H 747 ;
but in Vol. VI., p. 373, under the book an-Nukdya, and in the
same Vol., p. 460, under Wikdyat ar-Rawdya, it is said that he
died in A.H. 745. A.D. 1344. 'Ali al-Kari in his work al-Athmar
al-Janiya, fol. 108, says that he died in the eighties of the 7th

He made the pilgrimage in A.H. 953, A.D. 1546. According to
al-Kawakib as-Sa'ira he died in A.H. 969, A.D. 1561 ; but his son
Ahmed, in the preface to ar-Rasa'il az-Zainiya, p. 5, says that his
father died on Wednesday the 8th Rajab in A.H. 970, A.D. 1562.
The latter statement is corroborated by al-Hamavi in his commen-
tary on al-Ashbah (Calcutta edition), p. 741, where it is stated
that he died on the 8th Rajab, A.H. 970, A.D. 1562. For further

The full title of the text is Irshad al-Ghavi ila Masalik al-Havi,
and it is an abridgement of 'Abd al-Ghaffar bin 'Abd al-KarIm al-
Kazvlni's (d. A.H. 665, A.D. 1266) work, called al-Havi as-Sagiir.
Ibn Hajar al-Haitami bases his commentary chiefly on the com-
mentaries of Shams ad-Din Muhammad bin 'Abd al-Mun'im al-Jau-
jari (d. A.H. 889, A.D. 14 84) and Muhammad bin Abi Sharif al-Muk-
addisi (d. A.H. 930, A.D, 1523). An autograph copy of the latter
is mentioned in Hyderabad List, Tann Fikh, No. 89. al-Haitami
also drew many useful points in his commentary from the writings
of Zakariya bin Muhammad al-Ansarl (d. A.H. 926, A.D. 1520).
It was composed in Mecca, which is called Umm al-Kura in the
book and was named Fath al-Jawad. It is in three volumes, but
the MS. under notice is only the first volume of the work, and
ends with the commentary on the last chapter of ^sv.,'1 i^Ui" . The
chapters are as follows : — ^

He was a Sufi of high order. Haji Khalifa assigns three different
dates to the death of as-Sha'rani. In Vol, I., p. 482, Vol. II., p.
22, he says that he died in A.H. 960, A.D. 1552 ; in Vol. IV., p. 37.

RAHMAT AL-UMMA FT IIvHTILAF AL-A'IMMA.

A work on those points of jurisprudence about which the four
orthodox Imams differ. Regarding the author of this book, Hajl
Khalifa, Vol. III., p. 351, says : —

" Sadr ad-Din Abu 'Abdallah Muhammad bin 'Abd ar-Rahman
ad-Dimishki al-Utlimani (died A.H. '870, A.D. 145G). the Chief
Justice of the Province of Safad, is the author of this book, and
wrote it in A.H. 780 (A.D. 1378) ; but some people think that
Shaikh al-Islam Abu'l Hasan as-Sa'di composed it." Brockel-
mann, Gesch. d. Arab. Litter, Vol. II., mentions this book in
two places. On p. 91 he says that Muhammad bin 'Abd ar-Rah-
man bin al- Husain al- Kurashi al-'Utlimam ash-Shaii I Sadr ad-Din
is the author of the book, and wrote it in A.H. 780, A.D. 1378,
at Safad. But on p. 97 he states that the book was composed
by Sadr ad-Din Muhammad bin 'Abd ar-Rahman ad-Dimishki.

A work on jurisprudence according to the Shi'a school by
^LAKJI ^-.:su< ^ s^,r^] ^_j-^>* ^J^. ^^:^< Mxihauimad bin Mur-
tada, known as Mulla Muhsin al-Kashani. At the end of the trea-
tise, while enumerating his own compositions, the author writes :
"I wrote this treatise, when my age was 83, in A.H. 1090," A.D.
1679, which indicates that the author was born in A.H. 1007,
A.D. 1598. He was a pupil of Mulla Sadra, died, A.H. 1050,
A.D. 1640. His learning and piety induced his master to give his
daughter in marriage to him. His poetical name, Faid, was also
selected by his master for him. Shah 'Abbas II (A.H. 1052-1077,
A.D. 1642-1667) had a special regard and respect for our author.
He is the author of no less than two hundred books and treatises
on theological subjects, besides a dlwan. Some biographers assert
that he was much inclined to suflsm : but others say that in the

i

214

last part of his life he gave up that belief, and became an orthodox
Shi'a. Shudhur al-'Ikyan, Vol. II., fol. 354, says that he died in
about AH. 1040, A.D. 1630; but this date must be wrong ; for
the author himself gives the date of the work under notice as A.H.
1090. AD. 1679. Brockelmann has fallen into confusion about
our author. In Vol. IT., p. 200, he says that he died about A.H
911, A.D. 1505 ; but in the same volume, p. 413, he says that he
died in A.H. 1106, A.D. 1694. The authentic accounts say that
he died soon aftcT A.H. 1090, A.D. 1679. See Nujum as-Sama',

of the Prophet, and the Sayings of the Imams, and to name it

'L3>.j> ^zi.1] .K^I ^i 'i.jt^Xul\ .w3.i*^ ; but when he had finished one

volume, other matters engaged his mind and consequently he did
not complete the work. Afterwards he thought it best to write
the work in a concise form, and the outcome of that is the present
book. It is indicated in the preface that the author intended to
finish the larger work, if Providence should help him, and to write
it in such a manner that it would be a commentary on the
abridged work.

ar-Rida bin Musa al-Kazim bin Ja'far as-Sadik. He was born at
Madina in A.H. 153, A.D. 770 ; but according to some m A.H. 151,
A.D. 768. The caliph al-Mamun (A.H. 198-218, A.D. 813-833)
gave his daughter Umm Habib in marriage to Imam in A.H. 202,
A.D. 817. He died in A.H. 202, A.D. 817, or according to some in
A.H. 203, A.D. 818. He is the eighth Imam according to the
Shi'as. See Ibn Khallikan, Vol. I., p. 348; Tarlkh Guzlda, p.
206, and Safinat al-Awliya', p. 26. Shra scholars believe the work
to have been written by the Imam and the following passage in fol.

on the 3rd Rabi' II, A.H. 673, 7th October, 1274. He visited
different countries for the sake of study, was a teacher of
Traditions at Damascus, and wrote many useful works. His great
Tarikh al-Islam is in twenty volumes (according to Haji K]ialifa.
Vol. II., p. 131, in twelve volumes) : it is to be found, in odd
volumes, in various western and eastern libraries. Dr. Horovitz
in his work ' ' Aus den Bibliotheken von Kairo, Damaskus and Kons-
tantinopel," p. 9, No. 5, gives the names of the different libra-
ries where these odd volumes are to be found. adh-Dhahabi
died on the 3rd Dhu'l Ka'da, A.H. 748, 5th February, A.D. 134S.
Haji K]ialifa, Vol. III., p. 239, wrongly says that adh-Dhahabi died

but subsequently he wrote a supplement and added to the original
work the accounts up to A.H. 744, A.D. 1343, but not to A.H.

There is a copy of the book noticed in Berlin Cat No. 8531/3
with the same title, but the beginning and the end are not quoted
therein. Lacunae are in fol 216, 33a, and 1876. Fol. 213 should
come next to fol. 189, and fol. 212 should go before fol. 211. The
MS. is in a very decayed condition. Some foil, are missing after
foil, o, 9 and 48, and blank foil, of modern paper have been inserted

235

after those foil. The middle part of fol. 8 is much injured by insects.
Headings of chapters and the first names of traditionists are in
red ink. It is stained with damp. Many of the borders have thick
paper pasted over them. The different dates of transcription of
each part, which have been given above, are evidently as in the
MS. from which our copy was made.

which are quite contrary to their belief. Thus adh-Dhahabi in

Muhammad al-Ja'marl al-AndalusI's (died, A.H. 734, A.D. 1333)

LAWAMr AL-ASRAR Fl SHARK MATALI' AL-ANWAR.

A commentary on Mahmud bin Abi Bakr al-Urmavi's first part

or portion of Logic of the work called Matali' al- Anwar by ^^' t-^la^

^^ii-Csv-UI ^-.LII juksv.^ ^j s<,.:sx^ ajjl s^ y) Kutb ad-Din Abu 'Abdallah

Muhammad bin Muhammad ar-Razi at-Tahtanl. He was a pupil
of 'Adud ad-Din al-Tji, and became one of the most eminent
scholars of his time. In A.H. 763, A.D. 1361, he came to Damascus.
He is the author of several works, and died in A.H. 766, A.D. 1364.
As-Suyuti in his work Bughyat al-Wu'at (No. 268) fol. 1536, and
ad-Durur al-Kamina (No. 271) fol. 427a, have named him Mahmud
bin Muhammad ar-Razi. For details see Tabakat al-Kubra, Vol.
VI., p. 31 ; at-Ta'likat as-Saniya, p. 53 ; Habib as-Siyar, Vol. III.,
Juz' I., p. 126 ; and Brockelmann, Vol II.', p. 209.

Our author should not be confounded with another scholar of
the same title, Kutb ad-Din, whose proper name was Mahmud bin
Mas'ud ash-Shirazi, died A.H. 710, A.D. 1310. (See also No. 320.)
Habib as-Siyar, again, has not made this mistake, but another in
supposing that there were tvv^o Kut ad-Din ash-Shirazis, one of them
being the pupil of at-Tusi, and the author of the commentary on
al-Kaniin, and the other the author, of the commentaries on al-Mif-
tah and Hikmat al-Ishrak, and has consequently mentioned a man
of the name in two places, see Vol. III., Juz' I., p. 67 and Vol. III.,
Juz' I., p. 112. These works are all the production of one man,
namely, Kutb ad-Din Mahmud bin Mas'iid ash-Shirazi.

Biographers of the Imamiya school think that Kutb ad-Din
ar-Razi belonged to their school. See Shudhtir al-'Ikyan, Vol. II.,
fol. 316 ; Muntaha'l Makal, p. 289 ; Ami al-Amil, p.' 70 and Kashf
al-Hujub, p. 353 (where the date of his death is wrongly given
A.H. 796, A.D. 1393); while others consider him to be a follower
of Shafa'i school.

in A.H. 740, A.D. 1339. He studied with Kutb ad-Din Muhammad
ar-Razi, Akmal ad-Din Muhammad bin Mahamud al-Babarti, and
with other eminent 'Ulama' of his time. He settled at Shiraz
and began to teach students. When Timur conquered Shiraz, he
much respected al-Jurjani, and included him among the scholars of
his court. A discussion took place between him and Sa'd ad-Din
at-Taf tazani in which it is said that al-Jurjani overcame him. Al-
'Aini and those who followed him think that he died in A.H. 814,

A.D. 1411, but other reliable authorities say that he died in A.H.
816, A.D. 1413. For details of his life see Habib as-Siyar, Vol. III.,

ad-Din al-Maibidhi. He was born at Mailndh, a village about ten
leagues from Yazd, was a distinguished scholar of his age and was
the author of several works. His commentary on Diwan 'Ali was
completed in A.H. 890, A.D. 1485. His poetical name was Man-
tiki. He died according to some in A.H. 904, A.D. 1498. Yahya
al-Kazvini in his work Lubb at-Tawarikh (Library copy No. 6)
fol. 106a says that Kadi Mir Husain Maibidhi was put to death by
order of Sliah Isma'il in A.H. 910, A.D. 1504 in Yazd; but the
author of Riyad al-' Ulama' says that his death took place in A.H.
912, A.D. 1506. See Rawdat al-Jannat, p. 258 ; Habib as-Siyar.

For other commentaries and glosses see Haji Khalifa, Vol. III.,

The commentary begins on fol. 66. The first five foil, contain
anonymous glosses on some portions of the metaphysics of Hikmat
al-'Ain ; and on fol. 6a are some prayers. The commentary includes
the whole text, the passages of which are marked with red line
throughout, except in foil. 1246- 13 2a, where black is used instead.
It has numerous marginal notes chiefly taken from the glosses on
this commentary by as-Saiyid Sharif al-Jurjani. A list of contents
is annexed at the end, but the page numbers are wrong. Gold and
coloured lines in the margins are up to fol. 225. It is wormeaten,
but carefully mended. Borders of many foil, are supplied with a
different kind of paper. It also bears two seals, one of which ha&
been purposely effaced. The other one bears the date A.H

Naskb and the rest is in Nasta'lik. Some one, effacing the original

KITAB AT-TAHBTR FE 'ILM AT-TA'BTR.

A work on the interpretation of dreams. The author is not
known, but from the preface it appears that he ba.sed his book on
Abu Sa'd Nasr bin Ya'kub ad-Dinawarl's (c. A.H. 400, A.D. 1009)
work called Kitab al-Kadirl fi't Ta'bir.

Beginning : —

The work on which it is based was composed for the Caliph
Kadirbillah Ahmad al-'Abbasi (A.H. .381-422. A.D. 991-1031) in
A.H. 397, A.D. 1006, and consequently it was named Kitab al-
Kadirl. See Haji Khalifa, Vol. Tl.. p. 312, Vol. IV., p. 486;
Paris Cat. No. 2745 ; and Pet. Rosen, No. 212. Our copy is divid-

KITAB AL-HIYAL.

A work on clepsydrae (water-clocks), magical drinking glasses
and hydraulic instruments of all kinds. Unfortunately only a part
of the author's name has survived the eating of worms. The

words are ^^j Jjj**.-' ^jj^jJIyl ^^y'' ^i>^-> Badi' az-Zaman Abfi'l 'Izz

.tlL ij 1 — ijjxj] 'icLJ] ui5))l ^j ^ aILm and Abu Bakr al-Mu'izz bin
Isma'il bin ar-Razzaz al-Jawzi is quoted there as its Author. The
Paris Cat. No. 2477 calls it *J|i'Ujkil ^ixi and gives Abu'l 'Izz Isma'il
al-Jazari as its author. It appears from the following quotation
from the preface that the author flourished about A.H. 570, A.D.
1174. The quotation (fol. 2a) is: —

A dictionary of rare words occurring in legal books by JLaJl^I
: .kJI JLc ^j ^i^l J.XC ^Jj-cti Abu'l Fath Nasir bin 'Abd as-Saiyid

bin 'All al-Mutarrizi. He was born at Kliawarizm in A.H, 538,
A.D. 1143, or according to Taj at-Tarajim fi Tabakat al-Hanafiya,
p. 58, in A.H. 536, A.D. 1141. He studied with his father and
others. He taught Hanafite jurispiudence and the dogmas of the
Mu'tazilitc school. In A.H. 601, A.D. 1204, he came to Ba.^dad,
and died in his native land in A.H. 610, A.D. 1213. As-SuyutI
in his Bughyat al-Wu'at, p. 402, says that he was a pupil of az-
Zamald.shari. This statement, I think, cannot be correct, because
az-Zamakhshari died in A.H. 538, A.D. 1143, the year in which
al-MutarrizI was born. The fact of al-MutarrizI being commonly
considered the successor of az-Zamakjishari, owing to his vast
erudition in philological matters, led as-Suyati, probably, to be-
lieve that he was a pupil of that Great Master. For further details

SHARK AL-LUBAB.

A commentary on Isfara'inl's work on syntax called al-Lubab.
The commentar}'^ begins without a preface. In Berlin Cat. No.
6667 and India Office Cat. No. 898, where this commentary is
described, the author's name is also not given. But the date of
composition, A.H. 735, A.D. 1334, given at the end of the MS.,
tallies with the date of composition of al-'Ubab, a commentary
on the same work by Nukrakar, which according to Haji I£]iallfa,
Vol. v., p. 303, was composed in A.H. 735, A D. 1334." This lead^
me to think that the commentary under notice is a copy of that
which Haji Khalifa calls al-'Ubab, and attributes to Nukrakar.
His full name is Jamal ad-Din -Abdallah bin Muhammad al-Husai-
ni. He was a native of Naishabijr, but settled at Aleppo, where

ad-Dawlatabadi. He was born at Dawlata,bad in the Deccan. His
early days were passed in his native land, but the fame of some
eminent Ulaiiia' of Delili induced him to visit that town. There
he remained under the able instruction of ^lawlana 'Abd al-

upon India, ad-Dawlatabadi with his master Mawlana Kjiajigi went
to Kalpi, and stayed there for a long time. But afterwards ad-
Dawlatabadi v.ent to Jaunpiir. where he was received Avith honour
by Sultan Ibrahim Sharki (A.H. 80(^-844, x\.D. 1400-1440), who
appointed him Kadi al-Kudat (Chief Justice) of Jaunpur, and con-
ferred upon him the title of Malik al-'UIamd' (King of the learned).
He lived here till his last da^-. and died (according to Tadhkira

ad-Din ]Mas'ud bin 'Umar at-Taftazani. He was born in A.H. 722,

ad-Din al-ljl and Kutl) ad-Din ar-Razi, and bocamo a professor at
Sarakhs. When Timur. after the conquest of Khawarizni. ])(\ard
of his great scholarshij) and learning, lie summoned him to his
Court, and consequently he came to the Emperor, who showered
honours on him. He died, according to Buryat al-Wu'at, p. 39 L
in A.H. 791, A.I). 1.3S9, and according to Habih ;is-Siyar, Vol. JIJ.,
Juz' 3, p. 88 in A.H. 797, A.D. 1394. Most of the Arabic bio-
graphers such as 'Abd al-Hai in al-Fawa'id al Bahiya, p. 56 ;
al-Kafavi, in Idam al-Akhyar, fol. 376, Rawdat al-Jannat, p. 309 ;
and Madinat al-'Ulum, fol. 426, say that he had died in A.H. 792,
A.D. 1390. Scholars also differ very much as to whether at-Tafta-
zani was a Hanafi or a Shafi'i in his views. Zain al-'Abidlii bin
Ibrahim bin Nujaim al-Hanafi, the author of Bahr ar-Ra'ik. in the
preface of Path al-Ghaffar fi Sharh al-^Iinar, says that he was a
Hanafi ; and this statement is supported by at-Tahtavi at the
end of his commentary on ad-Durr al-Mukhtar. "Ali al-Kari, in
his Tabakat al-Hanafiya, fol. 1 226, also shared the same notion
concerning at-Taftazani, though he confounded his name with his
father's, for he has named him 'Uniar bin Mas'ud Sa'd ad-Din
at-Taftazani. Others rightly considered him to be a Sliafi'i ; for
instance al-Kafavi in his work I'lam al-Akhyar, fol. 3756, as-Suyuti
in Bugiyat al-Wu'at, p. 391, and Haji Khalifa, Vol. II., p. 444.
Also see Habib as-Sivar, Vol. III., Juz' 3, p. 87, and Brockelmann,
Vol. II., p. 215. '

Beginning : —

At-Taftazani wrote two commentaries on Talkhis al-^Iiftah.
The first was the elaborate commentary known as al-Mutaiuwal,
and the second was the concise one known as al-Muhhtasar, popular-
ly called MiiJchtasar al-Ma'dm. The MS. under notice is the second
commentary. It is a matter of great gratification that scholars
should have paid special attention to the writings of at-Taftazani ;
and with regard to most of his works they have found out the
dates on which they were commenced or finished. As that he com-
pleted Sharh az-Zanjani in Sha'ban, A.H. 738, A.D. 1337, when
his age was 16 years; al-Mutaicival at Hirat in A.H. 748, A.D.

that the author completed this work (at a college called i-,;^!

al-Hujub. p. 173. It is not Ukely that he lived for 97 years after

being' crrown up enough to finish such a learned work. The date

\ H 1069 A D. 1658. is the date of the death of the author's son

(called Muila Hasan -All), and that may have caused the confusion.

KALIMAT MAKNUNA.

A collection of one hundred .sayings attributed to 'Ali bin
Abi Talib, died, A.H. 40, A.D. 661,"^ and some Traditions of the
Prophet, both with a paraphrase in Persian distichs.

It begins with a Persian couplet as follows : —

The hundred aphorisms of 'All bin Abl Talib are also

designated kiy^iye iJlx 'LM *jU and Js. ^lli" -« \ ^'lis J.i' ^-i^^.'c

ad-Din Muhammad bin 'Abd al-Jalll, known as al-Watwat. He
was a native of Balldi. He served as chief secretary under
Atsiz (A.H. 535-551 A.D. 1140-1156) and his son Il-Arsalan
(A.H. 551-568, A.D. 1156-1172). He died in A.H. 578, A.D.
1182. See Hablb as-Siyar, Vol. II., Juz' IV, pp. 169, 174;
Hammer, Redekiinste, p. 119; Sprenger, Oude Cat. p. 541; and
Rieu, Persian Cat. Br. Mus. p. 553a. But from Ghurar al-Hikam
of Amid! (No. 407) fol. 2, it appears that Abii 'Uthman al-Jahiz,
died, c. A.H. 3.55. A.D. 869, collected the hundred sayings of 'All
bin Abl Talib. See also Rawdat al-Jannat, p. 465.

tions see Iktifa' al-Kunu', p. 356 and Edwards (E.), Cat. Persian
Printed Books, Br. Mus. p. 107.

The MS. under notice contains altogether 133 aphorisms. In
my opinion two distinct treatises, viz. one containing the hundred
sayings of 'All, and another treatise with the forty select Tradi-
tions of the Prophet, were put together by some one, and given the
above-mentioned name iij.jj:^ c^UJ^ ; because in fol. \h we find the
remark AjJx ail I ^^^-e ib^Ala^aJI ^jy-vi' ^..i^c>U.)'l v^ii-^ '' the Tradi-
tions of the Prophet ended ", and on fol. \a we find the expression
,iUJI sAc ^_^c Jli" 'Ah, peace be on him, has said." Someone,

most probably a bookseller of Lucknow. in order to deceive the
purchaser of MSS. has combined the two works, and named it
ii^JX* ^Us. Some foil, are missing, and consequently instead of

447

140 apliorism8 we have only 133. Fol. 23 contains a colophon in
Persian, misplaced. Fol. 13 should come before fol. Ih, which is a
separate fol. that has been pasted on the opposite side of fol. la.
We notice also the following couplet on fol. 16 :—

This indicates that the Persian paraphrase, as far as the 40
Traditions are concerned, was made by JamI, whose full name was
Nur ad-Din 'Abd ar-Rahman bin Ahmad al-Jami, whereas nothing
is said there about the paraph raser of the 100 proverbs, but ac-
cording to Rieu, p. 553a Watwat is the author of the translation.

Al-Jami was born in A.H 817, A.D. 1414 ; spent most of his
life in Hirat, and died there in A.H. 898, A.D. 1492. For details
of his life see Daulat Shah, p. 483; Majma' al-Fusaha', Vol. II.,
p. 11 ; Rieu, Persian Cat. Br. Mus. p. 17a ; and Browne, Persian
Literature Under Tartar Dominion, pp. 507-548.

The translation of these Traditions was made in A.H. 886,
as the same fol. lb says : —

For copies see Rieu, Persian Cat. Br. Mus. Vol. I. p. 17 ; Vol.
II., p. 828a, I; Ethe, Bodl. Cat. No. 894, 20, No. 895, 14; and

Borders are changed into modern paper. It is a splendid copy,
and represents a very fine specimen of calligraphy. Arabic texts
are written in gold letters in Nasldi character, and three aphorisms
go generally to each page. The Persian translation is written below
each aphorism in a beautiful minute Nasta'lik character. Not
dated. C. 16th century.

The work is considered an authentic and very rehable hook

authorship by 'Ali bin Abi Tahb is considered doubtful by Sunnis,

DIWAN ALi.

The dlwaii of -Aii bin Abi Talib, the son-in-law of the Prophet.

,^yjl ^-iL; ^^j*J\ ^^^^1 ^-J ^^ ^'^^"'l IN'"^^^"^ '-^^^ ^^"^ ^^^-
Husain, known as as-Saiyid al-Murtada. a descendant of 'AH bin
Abl Taiib, is the collector of these poems. Brockelmann, Vol. I.,
p. 40*5, Huart, p. 253, and others, on the authority of Mustaklm
Zada assert that he is the real author of the drwmi and that it is
wrongly attributed to 'AH bin Abi Talib. (As-Saiyid al-Murtada
was born in A.H. 355, A.D. 966, and died at Ba<|^dad in A.H.
436. A.D. 1044. He is the author of several v/orks. For details
of his life see Ibn Khallikan, Vol. I., p. 365 : Rawdat al-Jannat,
p 383: Shudhur al-'Ikyan, Vol. I., foil. 435-163; and Rijal
Xajjashi, p. 192.) Authors of the Inicamlya sect differ very much
with regard to the authorship of the Dliran. Kashf al-Hujub wa'l
Astar p. 215. says: "Some consider that 'Ali bin Abi Talib al-
Kirwani is the author of this dlwdn. Al-Hnrr al-'Amili mentions
it in the list of books by unknown authors. Al-Majlisi in his
Bihar al-Anwar thinks that it is difficult to believe that the whole
diwan is the production of 'Ali bin Abi Talib although many of
the poems of the diwan are (known to be) the composition of the
Imam • for thev are quoted (as his) in various reliable books. Ibn
Shahr Ashub (died, A.H. 588, A.D. 1192) in his work Ma'alim al-
'Ulama' thinks that 'Ali bin Ahmad al-Fanjukirdi (died, A.H. 513,
A.D. 1119) is the collector of the diwan; while an-Najjashi
includes it in the works of 'Abd al-'Aziz bin Yahya al-Jaliidi."
In my opinion Abu'l Hasan (or Husain) Kutb ad-Din Said bin
Hibatallah bin al-Hasan ar-Rawandi is the compiler of the diwan.
In compiling it he consulted 'Ali bin Ahmad al-Fanjukirdi's book
called Sulv/at ash-Shi' a, which contains about two hundred coup-
lets of 'Ali bin Abi Talib, and also other poetical collections, his-
tories. ,and biographies of different authors, and wherever he found
})oetical compositions, which he thought were the production of
•Ali, he collected them, naming his book jL-*.^\ ^^ Jj.5xJl ;Iyl

Ituamiya author, wrote about thirty books. He died in A.H. 573,

by J}.f,^] ^jj^^ ^.^Loii'I fri^^y) ^ ^_j^ ^J^. >3..«.^v<> ^^ J«,a-a.l Ahmad

bin Muhammad bin 'Ali bin Ibrahim al-Ansari al-Yamani ash-
Shirwani. His great-grandfather, Ibrahim, was an inhabitant of
Hamadan and a minister of Nadir Shah. But ovving to the murder
of his son 'All better known as ^luhammf.d 'Ali Khan, by
that tyrant, he and all his relatives fled from Persia. Ibrahim
went to Najaf, and settled there. Mirza Muhammad Hasan, the
other son of Ibrahim, came to India, and settled at Benares. Mirza
Muhammad Taki (our author's father) settled at Shirwan, changf-
ing his name to Muhammad. After some time, when- he came to
know that his uncle Mirza Muhammad Hasan was alive, and resid-
ing at Benares he came to that city ; but before his arrival the uncle
died. Muhammad being disappointed at the news of the death of
his uncle, and at the discourteous treatment of his cousins, went
to Lucknow. Here the Xawwab Asif ad-Dawla showered royal
favours on him. After staying for some time at Lucknov,^ he
started for his home at Shirwan. But when he arrived at Hudaida,
he married the daughter of Fakhr at-Tujjar as-Saiyid Haidar al-
Bagtdadi, and the issue of this marriage was our author. His early
days-w^ere passed at Hudaida, where he studied the different branches
of learning. Subsequently he came to Calcutta, and by the pat-
ronage of some European Orientalists he was appointed an in-
structor of Arabic literature in the College of Fort William. After
some time he resigned the appointment, and went to Lucknow
(during the time of Nawwab Ghazi ad-Din Haidar). The Nawwab
was much pleased with him, and he ])assed very happy days there.
Here he married the daughter of Saiyid Isma'il : and Muhammad
'Abbas, poetically known as Raf'at, was born in A.H. 1241, A.D.
1825. Ahmad ash-Shirwani, after the death of the Nawwab, visited
different cities and countries, such as Cawnpur, Benares, Hydera-
bad, Blmpal; and died in A.H. 1256, A.D. 1840 at Puna. He is
the author of many works, among whicli the follo^^ing are well
known: — 'Ujb al-'Ujab, printed, Calcutta 1813 ; Nafhat al-Yaman.
printed, Calcutta 1811 ; Hadikat al-Afrah li Izahat al-Atrah,

settled at Bliupal, and his descendants are still there. See Siibh-

SIRAT 'ANTRA.

the great philologist ^_^.^i'I i .^.s ^.j lSU\ >yyc oo;**« y) Abu Sa'Id

'Abd al-Mahk bin Kuraib al-Asma'i. The latter was born at
Basra in A.H. 122, A.D. 739, or A.H. 123, A.D. 740. He came to
Baghdad during the reign of Harun ar-Rashid (A.H. 170-193,
A.D. 786-809) and was considered as one of the highest author-
ities on philological matters connected with the Arabic languages.
He died in A.H. 216, A.D. 831. Some say that his death took
place in A.H. 214, or 215, or 217. For details see Ibn Kliallikan,
Vol. I., p. 313 ; Nuzhatal-Alibba'; pp. 150-172 ; Bughyat al-Wu'at ;
p. 313; Brockelmann, Vol. I., p. 104; and Abh. zur Arab. Philo-
logie, Part I., p. 136.

The learned scholars of Islam think that al-Asma'i was not the
author of the book, that it was a production of a much later date.

SHARH TAJRID Al-'AKA'ID.

A commentary by ^^_^^J:.y'il] ^^^x^c -j J-c ^:^1 ^Uc 'Ala' ad-
Din 'Ali bin Muhammad al-Kushji upon the well-known work of
scholastic theology entitled Tajrid al-Kalam of Nasir ad-Din
Muhammad bin Muhammad at-Tusi, died A.H. 672, A.D. 1273.
AI-Kushji first studied in Samarkand and then proceeded to Kirman,
where he carried on his studies under the best masters. When he
returned to Samarkand, Ulugh Beg employed him for the comple-
tion of his great astronomical work. After the death of that
prince, he returned to Tabriz. From there he went to Constan-
tinople to Sultan Muhammad II, carrjdng a friendly missive from
Uzun Hasan the Ak Kuyunlu, ruler of Tabriz. The Sultan re-
ceived him with great honour, and asked him to stay in his
country. Al-Kushji accepted the offer, and said that he would
come back to Constantinople after delivering the reply of the
Sultan to the ruler of Tabriz. He fulfilled his promise, and came
back to Constantinople. The Sultan received him with much
greater honours than before, and at last he was appointed the
Principal of the Aya Sufiya College on a salary of 200 dirhams per
day. He died in A.H. 879, A.D. 1474. The surname al-Kushji
•' the falconer " is, according to ash-Shaka'ik an-Nu'maniya,
]). 250, derived from his father's office. He was in charge of the
hawks of Ulugh Beg. Some say that he was a great favourite of
UIu|^ Beg, who, while hunting, used to entrust him with his
hawk, and hence his surname is al-Kiishji.

Bin ash-Shaikh Mustafa bin 'Abd al-Hamid al-Jawnfuri. He was a
pupil of Fadlallah al-Jawnpuri, and a contemporary of Mulla
Muhmud al-Jawnpuri. After completing his education, he first
engaged himself in teaching students, and then he gave up this
occupation, and devotedly engaged in studying works on sufisra,
specially the books of Muhi ad-Din al-'Arabi. Shah Jahan (A.H.
1037-1069, A.D. 1628-1659), having heard of his reputation,
summoned him to his Court ; but he did not accept the invitation,
and passed his life in his native country, Avhere he died in A.H.
1083, A.D. 1672. He is the author of Zad as-Salikin, a com-
mentary on Ibn al-'Arabi 's work called Asrar al-Khilwa ; of a com-
mentary on Mukhtasar al-Adudi ; and of a Persian commentary
on Ibn Hajib's work called al-Kanya. His poetical name was
Shamsi. The author of Hada'ik al-Hanafiya, p. 408, wrongly gives
the date of his death as A.H. 1055, A.D. 1645.
