Kh. ii. 527, whose statements are partly taken from the preface, which treats of the origin of the work, of the Isnâds connecting the author with Bukhârî, etc. (foll. 1-7). The commentary is very prolix, especially at the beginning. The text of Bukhârî is always added, marked with ص. This MS. Ends abruptly in Book IV. کتاب الوضوء, chap. باب الاستثناء فی الوضوء.
