Contents:

Begins (f. 159v, lines 2-5):

الحمد لله فاطر السماء وموجد آدم ع م ومعلّمه الأسماء مقدّر

الأدواء وخالق الدواء والصلوة والسلام على سيد الأنبياء

وعلى آله وصحبه الأصفياء وبعد فيقول المعترف بسوء الصنيع

العاجز الضعيف محمد بديع ...

Ends (f. 163r, lines 12-21):

وينفع المحصوب سقي الماء البارد وماء الشمري المعصور وماء

القرع الكبار المشوي بالتنور وماء الحصرم وماء الزرشك

ولعاب بزر القطونا أنفع للمحصوب كما أن ماء الرمان المز أوفق

للمجدور وينفعهما ماء الشعير والعدسية الصفراء مزوّرةً

والحمد لله رب العالمين

والصلوة والسلام

على سيد
