Descriptive card

Is a composite volume containing five parts. (1) A selection of ḥadīṯ qudsī by al-Ġazālī (d. 505/1111) with a mystical intent (ff. 1r–55v); (2) Munāǧāt Rasūl Allāh ṣallā llāh ʿalayhi wa-sallam (ff. 56r–73v); (3) a Ṣūfī collection of prayers (ff. 74r–93v) that mainly contains texts used by the Šāḏiliyya order in addition to the basic text of the Ḫalwatī order, i.e. Wird as-Sattār by Sayyidī Yaḥyā al-Bākūbī aš-Širwānī, d. 869/1458; (4) an anonymous epistle in Ottoman Turkish on Ṣūfī prescriptions from the Naqšbandī order, as well as advice on pious and mystical practices; and (5) an anonymous and undated collection of morning prayers (Wird ṣubḥ). The second collection of texts (Arab O. 051) is of slightly different kind, since it is an undated fragment (pp. 181–518) of a ritual textbook of the Mīrġaniyya Ṣūfī order.
