A Collection of Traditions, apparently an abridgement of the Mishkât. The order of the books and chapters is the same as in that work, but many traditions, as well as whole chapters, are omitted. It begins: الحمدلله ربّ العالمین و الصلوة علی خیر خلقه محمد و آله و صحبه اجمعین. Next comes a tradition of ‘Omar, taken from the end of the introduction of the Mishkât, then begins کتاب الایمان.

The title and the name of the author cannot be found.

Plainly written. All rubrics omitted after fol. 20. A list of the chapters precedes.
