Item Summary

Second(?) and last part of the Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim (see fol. 2a), comprising the text from Kitāb al-buyūʻ -- Bāb al-ṣadaqah wa-al-bayān fī al-bīʻ. Apparently, there was some confusion about the number of this part (third, fourth, or second). See the different inscriptions on fol. 1a and 2a. On the margin of fol 24b is an inscription mentioning: "Ākhir al-juzʼ al-thāmin ʻāshar wa-awwal al-juzʼ al-tāsiʻ ʻāshar". A modern inscription in pencil on fol. 1a gives the following title: "al-Akhīr min Ghāyat al-bayān lil-Itqānī".
