    Notes
    • Ms. codex.
    • Title from illuminated title page (fol. 1a). Could also be read "ʻaqīdah".
    • 13 lines per page. Written in careful medium small naskh in black ink with use of red for headings. The text is vocalized. Thick dark cream paper with laid lines, some chain lines, and pulp visible. Catchword on verso of some leaves.
    • Illuminated title page (ʻunwān) in gold and blue, with some red (fol. 1a): The title-page consists of an upper panel with two red, blue, and gold medallions on the left margin, and a lower scalloped panel. The upper panel is divided in two parts each framed within a gold border outlined in black. The upper part has the title written in stylistic "Kufic" in gold on a blue ground with a gold and red arabesque of flowers and leaves. The lower part has the statement of responsibility written in black naskh in cloud cartouches outlined in black and left blank over a ground hatched in red. The scalloped panel is bordered in gold and black on white and has the patron's name in gold outlined in black in cloud cartouches left blank on a blue ground. The whole design is outlined in blue with radiating flecks.
    • Serious worm damage on the inner margin. Extremely fragile.
    • The manuscripts is not dated. Apparently copied 14th-15th cent.
    • Two spine labels (vertical) with inscriptions reading respectively: "Sharḥ ʻAqīdat al-Ṭaḥāwī li-Hibat Allāh al-Turkustānī" [in Arabic script] and "369" [in Arabic and western numerals].
    • Incipit: قال شيخنا ومولانا الشيخ الامام العالم العلامة شجاع الدين هبة [الله] بن احمد بن مُعَلّا التُرْكُستانى الحنفى رحمه الله تعالى الحمد لله الذى دلّت على وحدانيته بدايع صنعته ... وبعد فان بعض اخواننا سالنا ان نتكلم مما فتح الله علينا من خزاين نعمه ولطايف كرمه على العقيدة المنسوبة الى الامام ابى جعفر الطحاوى ... [2أ] ... فاقول وبالله التوفيق قال رضى الله عنه هذا ذكر بيان اعتقاد اهل السنة والجماعة فانما قال ذلك لقوله تعالى لنبيه ... قل هذه سبيلى
    • Explicit: وقال رسول الله ... لا تجتمع امّتى على ضلال وقال يد الله على الجماعة فمن شدّ شدّ فى النار نعوذ بالله من الخذلان والفرقة ونسال الله تعالى ان يتوفّانا على لزوم السنّة والجماعة بمنّه وكرمه
