The Glosses of Muḥammad Zâhid b. Muḥammad Aslam Harawî (commonly called MÎR ZÂHID, a contemporary of Aurangzîb) on Ḳuṭb al-dîn Râzî’s ¹ (Muḥammad b. Muḥammad Taḥtânî, d. A.H. 766) treatise on Apprehension and Affirmation, التصوّر و التصديق. Cf. Ḥ. Kh. iii. 377, and Cat. Lugd. iii. 377. This treatise and the present glosses were printed, with the addition of notes on the latter, A.H. 1264, probably at Lakhnau.

Begins: الحمدلله ذی الحكمة البالغة و الحجة الساطعة.

Written in Shikastah, with marginal notes, which are partly derived from the author. The colophon runs as follows: تمت هذه الرسالة المسماة بحاشية مير زاهد متعلق على الرسالة المسماة برسالة التصور و التصديق للعلامة مشتهر بين المشارق و المغارب ملا قطب الدين علامة بيده خويدم الطلبة عزت ¹ الله عرف شاه داد قنوجى.

Of the beginning of the twelfth century.

Two extracts from the author’s glosses on the شرح المواقف (see no. 451) are written on the little-page.
