And it was not mentioned in the copy the name of the author, nor the date of copying, despite this I found in the copy other marks that indicate its documentation and the integrity of its content. For they wrote in its margins several corrections to what is in the body, and came in the right margin and in the bottom margin of page 3/phrase "reached" and both matters indicate the comparison of this copy with its original from which it has been transcribed. And it stated this at the end as it will come, as it came in the margin of the first page mentioning a title for the message and wrote at its end, "thus in a copy" and wrote in its margins also several phrases that differ in text from the corresponding phrases in the body of the copy with subtle differences. And wrote above those phrases the letter "K" as a sign that the phrase came this way in another copy.

And this indicates the comparison of the copy, not with its original only, but with another copy of the book (3). And on this, it can be said: that this copy is like two copies for the book, as that gives it important documentation, so that it makes it valid for dependence upon it in verifying the text of the book. And this copy is also complete, and thus is distinguished from the previous copy that reached only three pages as previously stated. And it came at its end what is stated "reached comparison and correction as much as possible, written by Ahmed bin Sa'dallah al-Harari, may Allah forgive him with His mercy, its end, and praise to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and send prayers upon Muhammad and his family and companions and peace. And enough for us is Allah, and good is the Trustee."
