ff. 56. 169 x 124; 133 x 90 mm. 13 lin. Ṣafar 862, Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad ibn Abī Bakr al-Kinānī al-Būṣīrī.

Acephalous anonymous account of miracles of pre-Islamic prophets from Adam to Jesus, apparently identical with ms. India Off. 1036/2. The present work resembles very closely that of Ibn ḥamdān 5/11th cent.: Brockelmann, GAL, I, 436, no. 7: Kitāb muʻjizāt al-anbiyāʼ) publ. with Turkish translation by Ömer Ziyaüddin, Istanbul, 1338/1340, but differs both in style and in the number of miracles attributed to individual prophets. The account of Adamʼs second miracle begins as follows (fol. 1b, line 5): ... الثانىة من معجزات ادم علىه السلام. لما اراد الحج ثانىا کان ىمشى فرأى قوما من اولاد قابىل

Explicit: (ident. withms. India Off.): وهذا ما صح عندنا من المعجزات المروىة فى الاخبار بالاسانىد الصحاح عن الانبىاء صلوات الله وسلامه علىهم اجمعىن تم الکتاب الشرىف بحمد الله
