[Tercüme-yi şifa-yi şerif] - [ترجمۀ شفاط شریف]

This volume contains an Ottoman Turkish translation of the Arabic al-Shifā' bi-taᶜrīf ḥuqūq al-Muṣṭafá (الشفاء بتعريف حقوق المصطفى), a work on the merits of the Prophet Muhammad صلعم and the duties of Muslims towards him. The author, Qāḍī ᶜiyāḍ ibn Mūsá al-Yakhshūbī, died in 544 AH (1149 CE). This translation, which does not include the name of the author, differs from those described elsewhere at the beginning and thus appears to be a different recension. On ff 2v-11v there is a table of contents, and at the end of the manuscript (ff 473r-v) there is a notice that the work was left to the vakıf at Kiler Ocağı. This manuscript was copied by Musa el-Kazım, one of the pupils of Seyit Osman Efendi, in 1236 AH (1820-21 CE).
