    Summary note
    A gloss on Sharḥ al-Wiqāyah by ʻUbayd Allāh ibn Masʻūd al-Maḥbūbī, which is a commentary on Wiqāyat al-riwāyah fī masāʼil al-Hidāyah, a work on fiqh by Maḥmūd ibn Ṣadr al-Sharīʻah al-Maḥbūbī. The latter work, Wiqāyat al-riwāyah, is in turn an epitome of the work called al-Hidāyah by ʻAlī ibn Abī Bakr al-Marghīnānī. This copy has an extra paragraph after the end of the main text not found in all copies and providing information on the original composition of the work. According to this information, the gloss was completed on the 8th of Dhū al-Ḥijjah 901(1496).
