On the author ( 810/1407-900/1495 ) and this text → Kahhale I 106; GAL II 98; S II 117 no. 10. Up to now only one Ms. ( Cambridge 1347,13 ) was known. This rare treatise is different from the anonymous Talqin ba'd al-dafn تلقين بعد الدفن ( Princeton 1967 ) ; it is an instruction for the dead and is an elaboration of a chapter in the Hadith, the Kitab al-jana'iz كتاب الجنائز ; → e.g. Ibn Maja ابن ماجة , Sunan سنن Kitab al-Jana'iz كتاب الجنائز ; → e.g. Ibn Maja ابن ماجة , Sunan سنن Kitab al-Jana'iz كتاب الجنائز 3 = ed. Muhammad Fu'ad Abd al-Baqi محمد فؤاد عبد الباقي (Cairo 1952) I, no. 1444-6.
Beginning ( after the Basmala ) :
الحمد لله الذي وفقنا لإتباع الكتاب السنة وجعلها للمتمسك بهما أوقى جنّة ... وبعد فمن المعلوم المعمول به قديما حديثا بلا شك ولا إنكار تلقين الميت بعد الدفن والمختار انه قبل إهالة التراب بأن ينادى : يا عبد الله بن أمة الله أو نحو هذا ...

According to the colophon, the text was jotted down ( ta'liq تعليق ) by Ibrahim Ibn Uthman Ibn Muhammad إبراهيم بن عثمان بن محمد , the copyist. He copied ( as the following texts ) this treatise during the lifetime of the author.
[2454] fols. 4v-6v: al-Naji الناجي : Tathbit qawl "sami'a Allah li-man hamidahu" تثبيت قول "سمع الله لمن حمده".
On the author → preceding text. This title is not mentioned in the bio-bibliographical sources. It is an explanation of the custum to say "sami'a Allah li-man hamidahu" when one raises one's head when one bows in the prayer ceremony.
Beginning ( after the Basmala ) :
الحمد لله على ما أنعم وصلى الله على سيدنا محمد وعلى آل محمد وصحبه وسلم وبعد : فإن السنة عند إمامنا الشافعي رضي الله عنه لكل مصلّ من إمام ومأموم ومنفرد إذا ابتدأ برفع رأسه من الركوع أن يقول "سمع الله لمن حمده" فإذا انتصب قائما واعتدل بعوده إلى الهيئة التي كان عليها ...

On the author → fols. 2r-4r. This text on the intercession ( shafa'at ) of the Prophet is not mentioned in any bio-bibliographical source . It is possible that it is a chapter in al-Naji, Kanz al-raghibin al-ufat fi al-ramz fi al-mawlud al-Muhammadi wa-al-wafat كنز الراغبين العفاة في الرمز في المولود المحمدي والوفاة : compare the description of Ms. Berlin 2574. At the end the copyist added: Min fawa'id shaykhina al-shaykh al-Hafiz Burhan al-Din al-Naji من فوائد شيخنا الشيخ الحافظ برهان الدين الناجي , "Part of the notes by ...Burhan al-Din al-Naji".
Beginning ( after the Basmala ) :

[2457] fols. 11v-14r: Ibn Zuqqa'a ابن زقاعة : Diwan ديوان , a fragment.
On the author ( died 816/1414 ) and his poetical work → GAL S II 8; Kahhale I 89. Our text may be a section of the collections of poems of which several mss. are preserved: → besides Brockelmann ( GAL ) also Mingana 1794 ( 520 ) and 1795 ( 1366 ) ; Princeton 4176 and 4261 ( fols. 92r-93; 139r-142r ) . The first qasida قصيدة ( metre: basit بسيط) in praise of the Prophet Muhammad ( fols. 11v-12v ) is identical with Ms. Berlin 7888, fols. 36v-39r.
On fols. 14r-v follow some notes which begin with an excerpt from al-Subki السبكي , Arus al-afrah عروس الأفراح ( title not mentioned in GAL ).

Ms. 151.
65 folios; 15,5×21,5 cm ( fols. 1-29v ) and 16,5×21,5 cm; 19 lines ( fols. 1-29v ) and 17-25 lines; naskhi by three different hands, single words are written in red ink or overlined in black; drawings and tables on fols. 30r, 32v, 33v, 36r, 37v, 39r-v, 41r, 51v-53r, 54r, 55r-65r. Two folios are inserted between fols. 41 and 42. The paper is slightly damaged and damp-stained. Pasteboard binding, damaged; spine repaired. The first 29 folios were copied by Ilyas Ibn Muhammad al-Irbili in the year 1238/1822-23; the other parts of the mss. seem to have been copied at a similar time.

Glosses by Qara Da'ud on al-Jurjani ( died 816/1413 ) , al-Kuchak. This work by al-Jurjani contain glosses on Muhammad Ibn Qutb al-Din al-Razi al-Tahtani محمد بن قطب الدين الرازي التحتاني ( died 766/1364 ) , Tahrir al-qawa'id al-mantiqiya ( = al-Qutbi ) تحرير القواعد المنطقية ( = القطبي), a commentary on part I ( al-Tasawwuratالتصورات ) from Najm al-Din Ali Ibn Umar al-Qazwini al-Katibi نجم الدين علي بن عمر القزويني الكاتبي ( died 675/1276 or later ) , al-Risala al-Shamsiya fi al-qawa'id al-mantiqiyaالرسالة الشمسية في القواعد المنطقية.
On more mss. and two old printings ( Calcutta 1230/1815; Cairo 1323-7/1905-9 ) of this text on logic → GAL I 466 no. I 1, a, a; S I 845 no. I 1, a, a.
The colophon of the Ms. ascribes the glosses to Ibn Nasr ( ? ) Da'ud al-Khawafi ابن نصر (؟) داوود الخوافي .A comparison of our text with Ms. Berlin 5262 enables us to identify the author as Qara Da'ud who, according to Ahlwardt ( description of Ms. Berlin 5262 ) , wrote about 810/1407 and was a pupil of Sa'd al-Din al-Taftazani سعد الدين التفتزاني ( died 791/1389 or later ). Ahlwardt denies any identity with Da'ud Ibn Kamal al-Qujawi داوود بن كمال القوجوي ( died 948/1541 ) . Such an identification can be found in Brockelmann ( GAL ) ; it seems to be doubtful. Perhaps the author should be identified as Muhammad Ibn Shihab al-Din Ibn Mahmud Ibn Muhammad Ibn Yusuf Ibn al-Hasan al-Khawafi محمد بن شهاب الدين بن محمود بن محمد بن يوسف بن الحسن الخوافي ( 777-852/1375-1449: → Kahhale X 73 ) who is said to have written a book on logic and glosses on "Adudعضد " = al-Risala al-Adudiya الرسالة العضدية = Adud al-Din al-Iji's Risala fi adab al-bahth رسالة في آداب البحث or his Risala al-wad'iya الرسالة الوضعية .

Ms. 152.
42 folios; 12,7×19,9 cm; 17-27 lines; naskhi; three different hands. Spotted and water-stained paper. Copied during 1200/1785-6 ( fols. 20r, 21r, 22r, 24v ) and 1179/1765-6 ( fol. 42r; copyist: Mustafa Abd Allah ) in the Madrasat Kuluk [= apparently the Turkish town Kölük between Urfa and Malatya] ( 20r,7; 24v ) .
[2462] fols. 1v-19v: Anonymous ( = perhaps Abd al-Haqq Miskin Ibn Sayf al-Din Ibn Sa'd Allah al-Dihlawi عبد الحق مسكين بن سيف الدين بن سعد الله الدهلوي) : al-Farqiyat الفرقيات .
The author of this lexicographical treatise on selected terms in alphabetical sequence with special regard to differences in meaning compared with "synonyms" cannot be identified. He quotes quite a lot of older authorities like Akhfash أخفش , Kisa'i كسائي , al-Farra' الفراء , Jawhari جوهري , Sibawayh سيبويه , Ibn al-Sikkit ابن السكيت , Zamkhshari زمخشري etc., but also later works on ta'rifat تعريفات ( e.g. by Jurjani جرجاني ) and works on theology. Several times the author mentions as source Dede Khalifa ( died 966/1558; Kahhale I 125 ) . This is not the latest authority, however; a terminus post quem is a quotation from Khalkhali's خلخالي glosses to Dawwani دواني ( died 907/1501; → GAL S II 209 no. VII 1a ) . Khalkhali died 1014/1605, and as the Ms. was copied in the 2nd half of the 18th century our text apparently was composed before or during the 2nd half of the 12th/18th century. Bio-bibliographical sources mention two authors who wrote on furuq فروق in the 18th century:
1 ) Abu al-Fida' Isma'il Haqqi al-Brusawi أبو الفداء إسماعيل حقي البروسوي ( died 1137/1724 ) ; his Kitab al-Furuq كتاب الفروق is printed in Istanbul 1251/1835 ( → GAL S II 653 no. 9 ) and preserved in two mss. in Princeton ( → Princeton 3775 ) .
2 ) Ni'mat Allah al-Jaza'iri نعمة الله الجزائري ( died 1130/1718 or 1121/1700 ) wrote a treatise on Furuq al-lugha فروق اللغة ( → GAL S II 586; not mentioned in Kahhale XIII 110! ) . A new edition ( Furuq al-lughat ) appeared 1380/1961 in Najaf ( ed. Asad Allah al-Isma'iliyan أسد الله الإسماعيليان ) and 1987 in Damascus ( ed. Muhammad Radwan al-Daya محمد رضوان الداية ) . A comparison with this edition and with the quotations in Khwansari خوانساري , Rawdat al-jannat fi ahwal al-ulama' wa-al-sadat روضات الجنات في أحوال العلماء والسادات VIII ( Beirut 1390/1970 ) , 53,9-11 confirms that our text is not written by al-Jaza'iri.
The authorship of the above mentioned Haqqi Brusawi is doubtful too:
a ) our text gives Persian equivalents several times;
b ) a passage on fol. 14v2, namely wa-dhakara m ( = al-musannif, the author of our text ) fi sharhihi lil-Masabih anna al-qadara tafsil qada'ihi... وذكر م (المصنف) في شرحه للمصابيح أن القدرة تفصيل قضائه...hints at an author among the numerous commentators on al-Baghawi البغوي ( died 516/1122 or later ) , Kitab Masabih al-sunna كتاب مصابيح السنة. In the list of commentators given by Brockelmann ( GAL I 364; S I 620-622 ) we find Abd al-Haqq Miskin Ibn Sayf al-Din Ibn Sa'd Allah al-Dihlawi ( died 1052/1642 ) as Persian translator and commentator of the Masabih مصابيح , entitled Lama'at al-tanqih لمعات التنقيح or Ashi''at al-lama'at أشعة اللمعات ( GAL I 364 I end; S I 621f.; Kahhale V 91 ) . al-Dihlawi is also known as commentator on al-Sakhawi السخاوي ( died 634/1243 ) , Sifr al-sa'ada wa-safir al-ifada fi al-lugha سفر السعادة وسفير الإفادة في اللغة , as commentary on Zamakhshari's grammar al-Mufassal المفصل ( GAL I 291 no. 4a; S I 510 no. 4a ) .
Therefore, we may assume that al-Dihlawi is author of the Farqiyat. This text belongs to the very few treatises on furuq al-lugha فروق اللغة . Two older examples are: Abu Hilal al-Askari أبو هلال العسكري ( died 395/1005; → GAL S I 193f. ) , al-Furuq al-lughawiya الفروق اللغوية ( ed. Husam al-Din al-Qudsi حسام الدين القدسي , Cairo 1353/1934-5 ) ; and Abu al-Hasan Sa'id Ibn Hibat Allah Ibn al-Hasan أبو الحسن سعيد بن هبة الله بن الحسن ( 436/1044-495/1101 ) , Maqala fi dhikr al-furuq wa-al-hudud مقالة في ذكر الفروق والحدود which is still unedited ( on two mss. → GAL I 486 no. 3; S I 888 no. 6; a 3rd Ms. is Academia das Ciencias de Lisboa V.292, fols. 1v-32r ) .

The beginning of the text is nearly identical with three mss. in Princeton ( no. 2087 ) where it is ascribed to Abu Sa'id Muhammad Ibn Mustafa al-Khadimi أبو سعيد محمد بن مصطفى الخادمي ( died 1176/1762; → GAL II 446; S II 663f. ) . Bursali I 298 no. 21 mentions among the works by al-Khadimi a treatise entitled Risalat al-dukhan. This may have been the title of our text.

Appendix:
An Old Manuscript of the Druze Canon.
Ms. 153.
153 folios; 14,5×10 cm; 11-13 lines; partly vocalized and carefully written naskhi. Single words and partly the chapter-headings are written in red ink. Moreover, the chapter-headings are written with great letters. Fols. 1-41 and 152 are copied by a different ( perhaps slightly later ) hand and on paper which differs from the rest: it is less thick and is not as smooth as fols. 42-151. Chapter-headings of this section are rendered in red, black or green ink. - In the margin are sometimes a few commenting or supplementing notes.
Brownish and dirty paper, partly damaged and badly repaired: therefore, some loss of text ( a few words ) on fols. 46v, 87r-v, 96r-97v. The beginning of the >Ms. is missing. Original leather binding ( partly damaged and repaired ) with a few geometrical ornaments.
The Ms. is undated; paper and ink point at a very old age. It seems to be copied in the 8/14th or 9/15th century and therefore is one of the oldest Druze manuscripts. Like Ms. 64 it contains a collection of mostly unpublished texts belonging to the Druze Canon.
