Summary:

Collection of prayers for the Prophet Muḥammad and other devotional materials such as a description of his tomb and lists of his names and honorary epithets, divided into 60 sections to be read daily over 2 months. This copy has been reworked a number of times and contains numerous other texts copied after Dalāʼil al-khayrāt and in the margins. The marginal works are for the most part prayers. 17 leaves seem to be a later addition to the end of the original codex and contain two poems and other texts. A table of contents (f. 2v), also added later, lists most of the main texts and some of the marginal texts. The contents listed below are main texts, then marginal texts.
