noted about Muhanna b. Khalfan: (a) There is a manuscript copy of a
Qur’an (Leeds, MS 112) dedicated to him and dated 1199/1785. (b)
Muscat MS 1603, entitled K. Bilb al-athar min jawabat al-muta-
akhkhirin al-akhyar (not seen by G.R.S.) by Salim b. Sa‘Id b. ‘All
al-Sa’ighl, was written, according to the author, for Muhanna b.
Khalfan in 1213/1799. (c) Muhanna obviously used this. He was a
prolific writer, for I saw a vast amount of his material in Muscat,
including a work called K. al-Athar fi ’l-adyan, Vol. 2 is MS 480, Vol. 4
MS 958. There is thus no wonder that there may have been some
confusion about who wrote what, cf. GAL, S1I, 349 and Schacht, item
40.)
V.114. Muhammad b. Salim al-Ruqayshl, Shark kitab al-Da‘a’im. [487J
V. 115. Muhammad b. Wa§$af, Shark kitab al-Da'a’im. Date of copying
1086 (1675). [1180]
Presumably both the above are commentaries on the famous K.
al-Da'a'im of Ibn al-Na?r, cf. Wilkinson, AS, 157-8, mentioning an
Ahmad b. ‘Abd Allah al-Riqayshl and Ibn Wa§§af. See also Sczgin,
GAS, I, 586. Ibn Wa§§af wrote about the middle of the 5th/11th
century. Cf. also Schacht, 383, item 26, who gives Ibn Wassafs
commentary the title al-Iiall wa-*I-i$abah. Cf. also HarithT, ‘L/quc/,
278-9
