Incipit text 1: الحمد لله بدا كتابه بالبسملة وعقبها بالحمد لله اقتداء بالكتاب المجيد المفتتح بالتسمية والتمحيد
Explicit text 1: و على متبعية على الملة الحنفية ... البياضاء النقية
Incipit text 2: يا من تنزّه علمه عما ظنه الوهم من التعريف والتحديد ... وبعد فاعلم ايها المسترشد والمستفيض ان تعريف العلم بانه صفة توجب تميز الاحتماب
Explicit text 2: الاحتماب الثامن ان يراد به عدم احتمال التميز بمعنى الاضافة بالنوع لنقيض الصفة ويرد عليه مع ما يرد على السابع ارتكاب التجوز فى اطلاق النقيض على الصفة وليكن آخر الكلام فى هذا المقام والحمد لله على التمام وعلى الرسول افضل الصلوة والسلام
