Incipit: [طوالع الانوار] الحمد لمن وجب وجوده وبقاوه وامتنع عدمه وفناوه ... [3أ] ... وبعد فان اعظم العلوم موضوعا واقومها اصولا وفروعا -- [منهاج الوصول] بسم ... تقدس من تمجّد بالعظمة والجلال وتنزه من تفرد بالقدم والكمال ... وبعد فانّ اولى ما يهمّ به الهمم العوالى ويصرف فيه الايام والليالى تعلّم المعالم الدينية والكشف عن حقايق الملة الحنيفية -- [ايضاح الاسرار] اسبحك بكمال جلالك واقدس لك بنور جمالك تجلّي ذاتك بانوار تقدسك ... وبعد فان كتاب منهاج الوصول الى علم الاصول من مصنفات المولى السعيد قاضى القضاة الشهيد ناصر الحق والدين -- [تحقيق مسئلة التجزي] قال فى شرح المختصر العضدى قد اخلّف فى تجزى الاجتهادات بجزياته فى بعض المسائل دون بعض ... ان المجتهد قد يحصل له فى بعض المسائل ما هو مناط الاجتهاد من الدولة
