Collection of prayers, including several based on the Āyat al-Kursī (Verse of the Throne) for protection from evil and others ascribed to Shaykh Aḥmad ibn Zayn al-Dīn al-Aḥsāʼī, John the Baptist as he appears in the Koran as Yaḥyá, and other religious figures. At the beginning of the manuscript is an invocation against destruction by bookworms (f. 1r); at the end of the manuscript are a love charm and charm for protection from evil.
