It is divided into ten sections (فصل), treating of the object and materials of the <em>Ṣ</em><em>a</em><em>ḥ&icirc;ḥ</em>, of its method of quoting traditions, of the names of traditionists, etc., and concludes with a notice of Bukh&acirc;r&icirc;.

The second section¹ is inscribed: فی بیان موضوعه و الکشف عن مغزاه فیه.</p> <p>Written in a good, clear hand, of the ninth century. Both the beginning and the end are much injured by insects.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>¹ An extract of it may be read in Ḥ. Kh. ii. 514 sq.</p>
