Item Summary

According to the title page, this is a copy of the twenty-first part of al-Jāmiʻ al-ṣaḥīḥ. However the vol. as extant appears to have a number of misplaced folios, with no proper order. The first 15 folios are as follows: on the first 7 fol., Kitāb al-tafsīr, Sūrat al-Ḥujarāt (49). This passage carries on on fol. 11, with three unconnected folios in between (fol. 8: end of Kitāb al-tafsīr, Sūrat al-Nūr (24), Bāb 11 - Beginning of Sūrat al-Furqān ; fol. 9: end of Sūrat Luqmān (31) - Beginning of Sūrat al-Sajdah (32) ; fol. 10: end of Sūrat al-Dukhān (44), Bāb 5 - Beginning of Sūrat al-Aḥqāf (46). After fol. 11, another set of unconnected leaves, from fol. 12 to 15 (fol. 12-13: End of Sūrat al-Raʻd (13) - Beginning of Sūrat al-Ḥijr (15) ; fol. 14: end of Sūrat al-Layl (92), Bāb 4 - Beginning of Sūrat al-Ḍuḥá ; fol. 15: Sūrat al-Bayyinah (98), Bāb 2 - Sūrat al-Zalzalah (99), Bāb 1). In the colophon, this volume is said to be the 20th of a set of 30, and announces for the next vol. the text at the beginning of this one!
