Translation
|
1 | | In the name of God the Merciful, the
Compassionate |
2 | | From the son ʿAlī |
3 | | To the dear successful fortunate parent |
4 | | ʿUthmān, whose duration may God prolong. Now peace is
established with me and my |
5 | | affairs are at a
standstill, and there is nothing with me; and our household are well |
6 | | in health. And Salāḥ al-Din salutes you. My Mother |
7 | | is in distress owing to the paring with the
young people, and our two sisters |
8 | | are seated
till there rises the sign of the ruler of night. And there did not permit me |
9 | | not to come anything save the debt which he
owes. And greeting to Asʿad |
10 | | And greeting to the
master Aḥmad and greeting to the master Shaʿbān |
11 | | And to the master Sharaf, and to my sister-in-law Fāṭima. And Ibn al-ʿAzīz |
12 | | and Ibn al-ʿAzīz is satisfied with thee, and
has written for thee ten |
13 | | receipts the monies
whereof thou shalt secure for him, and thou shalt take for him |
14 | | from what is due thereon fish for ten nuqra. Now why
hast thou vacated the house? |
15 | | I adjure thee by
God that you send a reply to this paper. And greeting
| |
