PREFACE

Maulana Azad Library has over fourteen thousand manuscripts

over whelmingly in Arabic, Persian and Urdu. It consists of 12

collections including the University collection, which is formed by

Acquisition through purchase or gift.

Among them the Habib Ganj Collection consists of extremely

valuable and rare manuscripts in Arabic, Persian & Urdu.

The Persian manuscripts of this collection forms the first part

of Vol. 1, which contains a brief description of Persian manuscripts,

was broughtout in 1980 exclusively devoted to Persian Poetry. The

volume in hand includes rest of the subjects, e g. Scriptures, Holy

Qur'm and related disciplines, Hadls, Fiqh, Speculative theology,

Mysticism, Polemical works, Medicine and various branches of exact

science and pseudo-scinces.

The arrangement and description of the Persian MSS in this volume is thematic. Efforts have been made to not only to give bibliographical details, but also description of the MSS which are considered essential.

Doubt about deciphering of the authors, titles, and age period

were classified to leave no doubt in the mind of the researcher.

Authenticity is also established by comparing the details of MSS

extant in other Oriental Libraries. My colleague Mr. S. Mahmood

Hasan Qaisar has not left any stone unturned to make the description

of the MSS as possible. The detailed study of MSS also helps to

rectify the author, title, period etc., given in the original accession

register of this collection which was transferred to the A. M. U.

Aligarh along with the donation.

However all such discrepancies have been mentioned in the catalogue to avoid any confusion by scholar if he happens to compare the list.

Page 12: CATALOGUE OF MANUSCRIPTS - Aligarh Muslim … · CATALOGUE of MANUSCRIPTS in the ... Sufi prayers Union with God (^L*)) Mystic letters [^U^^) ... Travels and daily accounts Travels

I hope that this catalogue of MSS will further reveal the matter of the manuscripts to the scholars at large. Apart from the 2nd part of the Persian manuscripts in hand, the other volume of Arabic manuscripts belonging to this collection and containing 814 manuscripts is also complete and ready for press.

The manuscripts of Habib Ganj Collection in Urdu language are

not to be compared with the large No. manuscripts of Arabic & Persian

languages. Neverthless it makes a noteworthy collection of manuscripts

in Urdu and is planned to be published as separate volume.

The library during the last few years has also published the

catalogues of four collections. Since each of these collections is not

large enough to be published in separate volumes by language, hence

their catalogues were published in one volume in consolidated forms.

I have pleasure that this work was properly carried out

with the arrival of Janab Sayyid Hamid, former Vice-Chancellor of

Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, by utilising the services of Mr.

S. Mahmood Hasan Qaisar, a former Assistant Librarian manuscripts.

I would request Mr. Sayyid Hashim Ali the present Vice-Chancellor

of Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh to pay his kind attention to

this important work by giving all possible facilities.

SHARH-I MIR'ATU'L-'ARIFIN FI MULTAMAS-I ZAYNPL'ABIDIN

A Persian commentary on Mir'atuU-'Arifm, which is itself a

commentary on the first siira of the Qufm, by a certain ^u l sm

Qadir Shah (»u )iil>' AeY The name of the author of original work

is not mentioned anywhere in the whole text. The ex-Asstt. Librarian

(MSS) mistook it to be a composition of Httsayn b. 'Ah b. Abl Tslib, the

grandson of the Prophet Muhammad and Martyr of KarbaW. This might

have been due to misunderstanding of the last portion of the title, i. e.

Multamis-i'-Zayni'l-'Abdm, because Zaynu'l-'Abidin WAS the eldest son of

Husaynb.'Ali, (d. 61H/680), whose personal name was 'All b. Husayn

and Zaynul-Abidin was his title It was, therefore, ascribed to his

father, without looking into the fact that there is no written work

of flusayn h. 'All is available except some of his speeches and sayings,

which are found in the early Islamic literature. Besides the style of

the present work is quite modern, which was not introduced at that

time. The author of this treatise, as our knowledge goes, is Sadru'd-Din

MAJMU'I-SULTANi

A collection of complicated and difficult cases in legal practice etc; arranged in 25 bnbs. In the introduction it is stated that the present work was compiled by various eminent divines at the instance of Mahntud Ghaznawt (388-421H/998-1030), but to ihe contrary of this statement we find that the language is modern Persian ( of a rather Indian type); the work is never referred to amongst the authorities of the early Persian treatises on /iqh. All this suggests a rather modern origin and careful research is required before the statement in the introduction can be relied upon. Besides this, the author frequently quoted various latter works as k xw. '«;.^<j '^jlaaJs 't^Uj etc.

The author's name is given in the colophon as Hamidu' d-Dm Naguri (^j^iU ^JS}} O.**:^.), but we see that there were several Sufi saints with this name in the 7th C.

At all events the work cannot have been composed later than the 7th C.H; because it is many times quoted in another Sufic treatise, Shamailu'l-Atqiya'.

IRSHADU'S-SSLIKIN

A short treatise, intended for the perusal of beginners, on the elementary rules concerning the practising of 2ikr according to the I ndian Naqshbandis. In the colophon the author is called Kfaayru'd-Din (i rfijjfsjwi.), who apparently belonged to the branch of the Naqshbandt order, founded by Afemad Faruqi Sirhindi (d. ca. 1035H/1626). The date of composition is not stated, but the work seems to be rather modern. It is divided info an muqaddima, explaining Sufi terminology, two maqsads : the first j^.ji ^Jl ^^S.13 ijjLft ) and generally on initiation; the second ^,I^J 5 *^ ) ^ ^ iil'-Wj'i ; and a Khatima of a didactic nature.

however seems improbable, because the latest references found in the text, are those of Sa'di Shirazi, who died 691H/1292 and Hafiz, how died 792H/1389. See ff. 89a and 98b.

H. Ethe (1849), describing another copy of what apparently is the same treatise, thinks it possible that the author may have been Ahmad MunayrJ. (See above No. 638). This, however, cannot be definitely settled as not only his name is found in this copy, but also the reference of Sa'df and Hafiz tells us that the author of this treatise was later than Hafiz and Ahmad Munayri, died 782H/I380-1381.

cf the author is not explicitly mentioned, but appears only in the form of his takhallus 'Usman Barki. H.

The correct form of the first hemistich is jjSjl^,j^^i jjjS^ W-*' and the second hemistich is totally incorrect, because 'j,t^' is a Persian word, with which the use of' J which is purely Arabic, is not permissible

secondly the use of • ski ' with ' i j ^ i ' is not also correct according to
