وبعد فيقول العبد الفقير إلى الله تعالى أحمد بن أحمد بن عبد الحق السنباطي الشافعي
هذا توضيح لطيف على الرسالة الموضوعة في العمل بالربع المجيب تأليف
الشيخ العلامة بدر الدين المارديني رحمه الله تعالى وضعته عليها حين قرأتي لهذا
على شيخنا العلامة المفتي السيد الشريف محمد بن أبي الخير الأرموني المالكي أطال

ولا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله العلي العظيم وصلى الله على سيدنا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه وسلم تسليمًا والحمد
لله رب العالمين
