The author, who docs not give his name, tells us that he began this treatise in a.h. 953, at Makkah (,_syiN *l), and that he made use of a work of Abu Abdallah Dhahabl (d. a.ii. 748). The treatise consists of an in¬
troduction (<t».xL«), on the definition of mortal sin, etc., and two parts one (fol. 23) treating of the
"internal" or mental sins (<LbU!^JL£JI), and the other (fol. 108) of the "external" sins, or crimes in practise (iy&llaJI Ji\J}\). The latter is divided into special chapters, according to the system of the law-books, t-^b ijl^LIl, etc. The appendix (.Wj'liN, fol. 436) treats of four subjects: I. of penitenco (i^JI); II. (fol. 440) of the day of judgment; III. (fol. 448».) of Hell; and IV. (fol. 452) of Paradise, and it concludes with a prayer.
