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.
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.
M. H. RazTi Dated 30-6-1985 University Librarian

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

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.

A compilation on the most different topics, connected with Sufism, divided into 52 short ta'hms, dealing with prayer, poverty, begging, SO/ic principles, etc. Vary many dates of births and deaths of various Siifis, ancient and modern are here given, all of them seem to have been taken from the well-known hagiological works. The dates concerning various modern Sufis at Balgram, mostly relations of the author, are of very little interest. The date of its composition as gives the chronogram " J,*-.f >i*:^^ Si^ i^U*Aj*5 _-UJ " (f. 4a) is I288H/1871.
It was, however not completed before 1294H/1877, because this year is several times mentioned in the text. Beg.

also on f. 84 b.) are given the titles of other works of the same author.

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.

A treatise on the system of pantheism and divine love. It is written in bombastic ornate prose carrying many poetical excerpts. It is also known under the title Khayaldt-i '•Vshsh&g. The author's name, the date of composition, etc. are not mentioned in the text. The title is here given as Rissla-i 'Ishqiya, and in the colophon the authorship Is ascribed to Qa?l Hamidu'd-Din Nagun (See above No. 605). This,
134 PERSIAN MANUSCRIPTS
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.

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
Arabic grammar. This indicates that the poet was not conversant with
Arabic. H. G. 51/12
