Incipit: الحمد لمن وجب وجوده وبقائه وامتنع عدمه وفناءه دل على وجوده ارضه وسماءه ... وبعد فان اعظم المعلوم موضوعا واقومها اصولا وفروعا واقوتها حجة ودليلا واجلتها محجة وسبيلا هو العلم الكافل بابراز اسرار اللاهوت
Explicit: فله محامل وتاويلات ومع ذلك فلا يعادل ما ورد في مناقبهم وحكى عن اثارهم نفعنا الله بمحبتهم اجمعين وجعلنا لهديهم متبعين وعصمنا عن زيغ الضالين وبعثنا يوم الدين فى عداد الهادين بفضله العظيم وفيضه العميم انه جواد كريم رؤف رحيم
