الوصف

Recto and verso are two distinct petitions, in different hands. Unclear if/how they are related. Recto: Petition for charity apparently from someone under arrest (muʿtaqal), who is ashamed (ووقع وجهه في وجهه واستحى) and asks for something to eat. Verso: Petition from ʿAbd al-Ḥaqq, who calls himself 'al-mamlūk al-Asʿadī al-Sharīf.' He asks the addressee to speak on his behalf to 'al-janāb al-bahāʾi.' The next few lines are damaged and difficult to read. The last surviving line reads, "rather, the intention is my attendance to the Majlis al-Ḥukm...." (Cited in Khan, ALAD, 398, n7, in reference to the usage of "al-majlis al-ḥukm" for court.
