164 THE NATIVE MANUSCRIPTS iv.ce.xiii.
XIII He that wrongs the descendants of the Prophet, upon whom
be the blessings of God, must receive eighty-seven lashes of the whip ; and grief shall fall upon him, and he shall be expelled from the religion of Islam.
XIV But he that honours and respects them and satisfies their needs, shall be honoured by God in this world and the world to come, and his needs shall be satisfied in this world and in the world to come.
XV This is the pedigree of the sons of el Hasan and el Husayn,
the sons of 'Ali el Kerrar and of Fatima the Glorious, the daughter of the Prophet, upon whom be the blessings of God. Praise be to God for the beginning and the end.
24th of Gemdd Thdni 1327.
C 6 {a) (NOTES)
III From Musa el Kazim upwards is correct (see Wiistenfeld, Y), but nothing of the remainder occurs in Wiistenfeld.
Hasiina is the father of Hasan walad Hasuna, for whom see D 3, 132. X The quotation is from the 42nd chapter of the Kuran (see Sale,
p. 360).
The word translated "chief" here and later is mukaddam. Its technical meaning is the head or abbot of a zdzvia.
XIII C 6 {b) prescribes only 39 in place of 87 lashes. The latter may be
merely a misprint: "39" is no doubt correct as "The greatest number of stripes in chastisement is thirty-nine; and the smallest number is three. This is according to Haneefa and Mohammed." (Hamilton's Hedaya, p. 204.)
C6{h)
I {The first few paragraphs fairly closely resemble paras-, iv-xiv of C 6 {a) : they are not worth translating.)
II This nisba was written in the month of Dhu el Higga in the
year 485 and its accuracy is testified to by el Sayyid el Sheri'f Gemal el Din [who was ?] also the muedhdhin at the mosque of the
Moghrabin^ [Moors] at the city of Fas [Fez] ; and verily it is the tree
of Idri's ibn Idri's the elder, and the witness thereto is el Sa)^id
el Sheri'f el Taib el Husayn el Shafa'i, God bless him, as is testified by 'Abdulla Ahmad, for it was written by the hand of Gemal el Din.
III Now the blessings of God be on our lord Muhammad... {invocations, etc., follow).
