Incipit: الحمد لله جاعل العلماء انجما للاهتداء زاهرة واعلامًا للاقتداء طاهرةً ... اما بعد فهذا كتاب يصغر للحافظ حجمه

Explicit: و من صالح من الورثة ار الغرماء على شيء منها طرح ثم قسم الباقى على سهام من بقي منهم ه قال المصنّف رحمه الله تعالي هذا اخر مجمع البحرين وملتقى النيرين وقد اتيت به على ما اسسته من تلك القواعد ...
