Cain baras keqanb guzre, ki is kitab ke 128 safhe
mutafarriq matbu ho chuke, par kai sababon se, jin
ka bayan zardr nahm hai, is ki takaiil men qadre ta~
waqquf hua.
Safha i mundarja i zail par mulahiza karne se wazih
hoga, ki is kitab ke likhne se yih garaz na thi, ki
awamm-un-nas men taqsim kijae, warna khatt i Ang-
rezi men hargiz matbu na hoti; aur na is tasnif ka yih
mansha tha, ki un sabhon ke kam ae jo khatt i Angre-
zi se waqif bain, is wajh se, ki is men aksar maqamat
Arabi aur Sanskrit menkhaltmalt hain. Musannif no
is ko khass karke Hindustani waizon ke faide ke liye
tasnif kiya. Is kitab ka madda aksar waizon ko dast-
yab na ho sakta tha, kyunki jin kitabon men yih as-
nad muntashar pae jate hain, wuh aksar kasir ul hajm
aur qimatihain; lihaza musannif ne is ummed par,
ki hamare Hindustani rafiq in baton se, jo ba sad
diqqat un ke waste jama ki gai hain, baasani faida aur
khushi hasil karenge, is ko tasnif kiya. Is kitab meg
aksar mahaware ki galtian milengi, kyunki aksar jaldi
aur adim ul fursati men likhi gal. Yih galtian in-sha
Allah intibd i sani ke waqt durust ki jaengi.
Is mukhtasar tasnif men kai ahbab ne i^nat ki hai,
jin ki mihrbani ka musannif mamnun aur mashkur
hai. Auwalin adib ul mutaakhirin, dli'^^ ^ bakamal,
fazil i adim ul misal Janab Hall Sahib, jo sabiq meQ
Banaras ke Madrasa i Sarkari men raunaq afroz the,

i rashid hai, jis ne Ilm i ilahi ke khulase ki taiyari
raen, jo is tasnif ke zail men paya jata hai, madad ki.
In ke siwa kai ek tasnifen bhi is men bakar amad
hain, chunanchi zat ka bayan afzal i mutaqaddimin,
ashraf i mutaakhirin, muhaqqiq i zaman, mudaqqiq i
dauriin, fazil laiq i tarif, dhm qabil i tausif, Janab

Is Kitab men Kbilqat ki paidaissh, aur Insan ki Bar-
gashtagi, aur Tufau i Niih ka, jaisa Kitab i Muqaddas
men darj hai^ inusharrah bayan hua hai ; aur siwa is
ke in hadison ko un riwayaton se, jo in ki bfibat rau-
tafarriq qaumou men rii i zamin par jari hain, khass-
kar Haniid ke bayan se muqabala kiya hai. Is ke
siwa Hazrat Ibrahim ke talab kie jane tak, jo jo ri-
wayaten Muhammadion me^ un ashkhass aur hadison
ki babatjari hain, jln ka zikr Kalam i Muqaddas men
hud hai, dakhil ki gai hain. Bad is ke tawarikh i mul-
ham ki baten, nasi i barguzida par munhasar ki gai
hain, aur aur qaunion ko, jis qadr Khuda ke logon se
munasabat thi usi qadr un ka isharatan zikr hua hai.
Musannif yih ummed rakhta hai, ki Kliuda ke khalis
Kalam, aurjo log us ki hidayat men nahin hain, in ke
khiyalat ka, jo yahan muqabala kiya gaya hai, us se
parhnewalon ko shauq ho, ki us ke Kalam se ziyada
mahabbat rakhen, aur jo Kalam akela najat tak da^
nishmand kar sakta hai, us ka kamal Imandari aur
sargarmi se bayan kareo.
