The colophon states that the author compiled this commentary, which merely explains certain difficult verses and does not at all aim at a full and exhaustive treatment of the subject, for the sake of Ṣ&ucirc;f&icirc;s (طالبان راه خدا). A few various readings on the margin.</p> <p>No. 1202, ff. 113, ll. 21; Nasta&rsquo;l&icirc;ḳ; size, 8&frac34; in. by 5 in.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
