Incipit: الحمد لله الذى زين خواتم قلوب ... اما بعد فاعلم ان الحكم الفائضة من الحق سبحانه على قلوب كمل عباده

Explicit: لقد وفق للفرآغ عن فك ختام هذه الفصوص وكشف ايهآم هذه النصوص العبد المتذلل بالشخوص بين يدي عموم اهل الخصوص عبد الرحمن بن احمد الجآمى ... غرة جمآدي الاولى المنتظمة فى سلك شهور سنة ست وتسعين وثمآن مائة وصلى الله ...
