Scope and Content

This volume contains a history of the holy martyrs of the family of the Prophet Muhammad صلعم, composed by Füzuli. The text on hand is imperfect, breaking off before the end and omitting the münacat. This manuscript was likely composed in the 18th century, although the first folio was apparently written at a later date.
