البداية: "بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم. الحمد لله الذي أنزل القرآن شفاءً لما في الصدور، وهدى ورحمةً للمؤمنين، وشفا به من كان أشفى على بئر جهنم من الكافرين، والصلوة والسلام على سيد المرسلين، وسند الأولين والآخرين، وعلى آله وأصحابه الطيبين الطاهرين، وأتباعه وأشياعه أجمعين، إلى يوم الدين. آمين. أما بعد، فيقول أفقر العباد إلى كرم ربه الباري، علي بن سلطان بن محمد القاري: لما رأيت كتاب الشفاء في شمائل صاحب الاصطفاء أجمع ما صنف في بابه مجملًا في الاستيفاء، لعدم إمكان الوصول إلى انتهاء الاستقصاء قصدت أن أخدمه بشرح بعض ما يتعلق به من تحقيق الإعراب والبناء، رجاء أن أسلك في سلك مسالك العلماء يوم الجزاء، فأقول، وبالله التوفيق وبتأييده ظهور التحقيق ..."

Translation of the colophon: "Its author, may God have mercy upon him and upon his predecessor [i.e. al-Qāḍī ʻIyāḍ ibn Mūsá al-Yaḥṣubī], finished the work in the middle of blessed Ramaḍān, the year 1011 of the Hijrah of the Prophet [26 February, 1603] to tranquil Medina, in noble and faithful Mecca. Written by the poor to his Lord the Creator, ʻAlī ibn Sulṭān Muḥammad al-Qārī al-Ḥanafī, may God treat both of them with His hidden gentleness and abundant generosity."
