Contents
1. leaves 3a-10b: [Ṣad ḥadīs̲] / Muḥammad ibn Farj Allāh al-Najafī. One hundred ḥadīths on the Shiʻite Imāms, with explanations in Persian.
2. leaves 11a-88b: [Majālis]. Incomplete, unidentified compilation of majālis; begins in the middle of the second majlis and breaks off in the middle of majlis 46.
3. leaves 91a-101a: Taʻliqah ʻalá Risālat al-istiṣḥāb / Muḥammad Kāẓim al-Khurāsānī. Likely a draft of the author's commentary on the section on istiṣḥāb in Murtaḍá al-Ansārī's Farāʼid al-uṣūl; it does not correspond exactly to the published text.
4. leaves 102b-103b: [Draft on istiṣḥāb]. As leaves 101b-102a are blank and there is no reference to a commentated text, it is unclear if these pages are part of the preceding text.
5. leaves 104b-105b: [Draft on ṭahārah].
6. leaves 107a-150a: [Kitāb fī uṣūl al-fiqh]. Likely a draft of a treatise on uṣūl al-fiqh, possibly by Muḥammad Kāẓim al-Khurāsānī.
Notes
Ms. codex.
Physical description: Varying lines per page; written in shikastah in black on machine-made paper. Catchwords. Occasional staining and smudging.
Origin: According to the published edition of text 3 (Durar al-fawāʼid fī al-ḥāshiyah ʻalá al-Farāʼid, Ṭihrān, 1990, p. 422), text 3 was completed in Rajab 1305 H [March-April 1888]. These texts were likely written down sometime before that date.
