Beginning: الحمد لله واسع الرحمة و سابغ النعمة......قال الشیخ الامام .. النسفی غفر الله له و لوالدیه ..قد صنّفتُ مُقدِّمةً فی هذا الفن و سمُّیْتُها المنارَ ثم صنّفتُ هذا المختصر فی طَرْزها و صَرفتُ الهمَّةَ فی کشف أُعْوارِها و شرح مَبانیها و اسرارها و اضَفْتُ الیها من اقوالٍ اصُولیّةٍ و حججٍ مرضیّةٍ و فوائدَ غَریبَةٍ بعدَ التماس جماعةٍ من سَاداتی و اخوانی ممّا استفدت من المُعلّمین الخ.
