Incipit: لك الحمد يا منزل القران بوجوه النظم ووجوه البنيان ولك المجد يا مسيل الفرقان ... اما بعد فيقول العبد المحتاج ابو الثناء احمد بن محمد ابى البركات الريلر ثم السيواسى لمّا قرا عليّ بعض الاخوان الذى لا يسعنى مخالفة ... [2أ] ... قال المصنف رحمة الله عليه الحمد لله الحمد هو الثنآء على الجميل الاختيارى من نعمة او غيرها
Explicit: والبرهان نظيرها اى نظير الحجة وكذا البينة والعرفان ما اشتهر [53أ] ما اشتهر بشهادات العقول وتلقتة الطبايع السليمة بالقبول والعادة ما استمر الناس عليه وعاودوه مرة بعد اخرى تم الكتاب بعون الله الملك الوهاب
