Incipit: الحمد لله محى الرمم ومجرى القلم وذارئ الامم وبارئ النسم ... [2ب] ... قال الملتجئ الى حرم الله تعالى الحسن بن محمد بن الحسن الصغانى ... قبل ان يضعضع الموت اركانه وجداه على ان يعمر ربع الورع ... اما بعد فانى مذ تدرّجت مراقى الشرف وتحرّجت من مساقى السرف عطوت بشناتر العزم على اعراف المجد.
Explicit: ق ابن عمر رضى الله عنه لبيك اللهم لبيك لبيك لا شريك لك لبيك ان الحمد والنعمة لك والملك لا شريك لك كان يلبي بهذه التلبية فى حجّه وعمرته م انس رضى الله عنه لبيك عمرة وحجًّا.
