Incipit: الحمد لله الذى انزل على عبده الكتاب ولم يجعل له عوجا وبين فيه لاولى الالباب بينات وحججا ... وبعد فان كتاب الكشاف للشيخ العلامة احلّه الله من فضله دار المقامة قد طار حيث جلالة قدره كالامطار فى الاقطار
Explicit: قوله هو شفاء مقتضى سوق الكلام وشفاء بالجر عدل الى هذا بينها على ان موضع الشفاء الى المواعظة والتنبيه على التوحيد فان الشفاء والدواء للمرضى هو حصول الضد اعنى الصحة ثم عطف على موعظة وتنبيه تتميما للفوايد دعاء ورحمة والحمد لله رب العالمين والصلوة على سيد المرسلين وحسبنا الله ونعم الوكيل بمنه وجوده
