Incipit: The beginning is missing. Text starts as follows: "... wujūd hādhihi al-makhlūqāt ʻalá hādhihi al-arbaʻ anna alladhī yafʻalu shayʼan lā yafʻaluhu illā idhā kāna ʻālimn bi-al-fiʻl, thumma yurīdu al-amr alladhī yafʻaluhu, wa-baʻda irādatihi yubāshiru fiʻlahu bi-qudratihi. Wa-min al-maʻlūm anna al-fāʻil yakūnu, lā budda wa-an yakūna ḥayyan, wa-al-ʻilm wa-al-irādah wa-al-qudrah tusammá ṣifāt al-taʼthīr, li-tawaqquf al-taʼthīr ʻalayhā, li-anna alladhī yurīdu shayʼan wa-yaqṣuduhu, lā budda wa-an yakūna ʻāliman bi-hi qabla qaṣdihi la-hu, thumma baʻda qaṣdihi la-hu yubāshiru fiʻlahu ..."
انپت: البداية مفقودة. يبدأ النص كما يلي: "... وجود هذه المخلوقات على هذه الأربع أنّ الذي يفعل شيئًا لا يفعله إلّا إذا كان عالمًا بالفعل، ثم يريد الأمر الذي يفعله، وبعد إرادته يباشر فعله بقدرته. ومن المعلوم أنّ الفاعل يكون، لا بدّ وان يكون حيًّا، والعلم والإرادة والقدرة تسمّى صفات التأثير، لتوقّف التأثير عليها، لأنّ الذي يريد شيئًا ويقصده، لا بدّ وأن يكون عالمًا به قبل قصده له، ثم بعد قصده له يباشر فعله ..."

الخاتمة: وهذا آخر ما يسّره الله من فضله، وصلى الله على سيدنا محمد، وعلى آله وأصحابه، واهل بيته، كلما ذكره الذاكرون، وغفل عن ذكره الغافلون، والحمد لله ربّ العالمين. آمين. آمين."
This is the end of what God facilitated of His favor. May God's blessings be upon our master Muhammad, and upon his family, his companions, and his household, whenever those who remember mention him, and those who are heedless neglect to mention him. Praise be to God, Lord of the Universe. Amen. Amen."
