  4. [4] [1098] fol. 25r - 52r

    Salah al-arwah wa-tariq ila dar al-falah صلاح الأرواح وطريق إلى دار الفلاح

    A fragment of an anonymous devotional work called Salah al-arwah wa-tariq ila dar al-falah صلاح الأرواح وطريق إلى دار الفلاح . This title is not mentioned by BROCKELMANN (GAL); further mss. are Berlin 8863 and 8864. It conforms to ms. Berlin 8863, fol. 71v-106r, with slight divergences at the end and without the chapters of Berlin 8863, fol. 78r-85r. This means that in our ms. approximately the first half is missing. In the Berlin mss. the text is ascribed to Ibn al-Jawzi ابن الجوزي . This cannot be correct as AHLWARDT shows in his description of ms. Berlin 8864. The unknown author wrote after 671/1272, the year of Abu Abd Allah Muhammad Ibn Ahmad Ibn Abi Bakr al-Qurtubi's أبو عبد الله محمد بن أحمد بن أبي بكر القرطبي death whose commentary on the Koran is mentioned in ms. Berlin 8864 on fol. 68v.

  5. [5] [1099] fol. 52r - 57v

    Kitab al-tadhkira كتاب التذكرة

The text is different from al-Qurtubi's القرطبي Kitab al-tadhkira bi-ahwal al-mawta wa-ahwal al-akhira كتاب التذكرة بأحوال الموتى وأحوال الآخرة (GAL I 415 nr. 2; S I 737 nr. 2); cf. the ms. Heidelberg Or. 267, spec. vol.II, fol. 36v ff. - The text contains the following chapters: fol. 52r: Bab fi dhikr al-anhar fi al-janna باب في ذكر الأنهار في الجنة . fol. 53r: Bab fi dhikr al-hur al-in باب في ذكر الحور العين . fol. 55v: Bab fi dhikr ma'idat al-khuld باب في ذكر مائدة الخلد . fol. 56r: Bab fi dhikr ru'ya باب في ذكر رؤية . fol. 56v: Bab fi ma'rifat ayyam al-dunya fi al-janna باب في معرفة أيام الدنيا في الجنة .

    A fragment of Salah al-arwah fi tariq al-arwah صلاح الأرواح في طريق الأرواح . On the text cf. above fol. 25r-52r. This copy contains the chapters Bab ma yanji min ahwal yawm al-qiyama باب ما ينجي من أحوال يوم القيامة (fol. 58r = ms. Berlin 8863, fol. 11v); Bab fadl al-hajj باب فضل الحج (fol. 58v = ms. Berlin 8863, fol. 6v); then (fol. 58v ff.) all the chapters of ms. Berlin 8863, fol. 17v-39r, with one exception: our ms. has on fol. 66r: Bab fi fadl bi-ismi Allah باب في فضل بسم الله , whilst the Berlin ms.8863 has on fol. 27v: Bab fi fadl al-karam باب في فضل الكرم . It is possible that also the folios 103v-104r (Bab fadl al-zakat باب فضل الزكاة ) of our ms. belong to this text: this anonymous passage can be found between two excerpts from Rawnaq al-tafasir رونق التفاسير (see the following text) and is also in ms. Berlin 8863, fol. 5r!
