    Fawa'id jalila takshifu an ma'na wahdat al-wujud wa-masa'il qalila taqrabu asla ma dhahaba ilay-hi ahlu al-irfan wa-al-shuhud فوائد جليلة تكشف عن معنى وحدة الوجود ومسائل قليلة تقرب أصل ما ذهب إليه أهل العرفان والشهود

    On the author (died 1322/1904 in Medina) see GAL S II 776. According to the introduction and a note by Uthman Ibn Abd al-Salam al-Daghistani عثمان بن عبد السلام الداغستاني (Mufti of Medina) on fol. 74v this text is a summary of Abd al-Ghani al-Nabulusi's عبد الغني النابلسي Kitab wahdat al-wujud wa-mir'at al-shuhud كتاب وحدة الوجود ومرآة الشهود . Neither title is mentioned by BROCKELMANN (GAL). Possibly the text ascribed to al-Nabulusi is based on two different texts, namely the Kitab idah al-maqsud man ma'na wahdat al-wujud كتاب إيضاح المقصود من معنى وحدة الوجود (cf. on this text ms.323, fol. 86-93v) and the Sharh mir'at al-wujud شرح مرآة الوجود (mentioned in the list published by G. FLÜGEL in Zeitschrift der Deutschen Morgenländischen Gesellschaft 16, p.664).
