The servant of her favor
Bū Saʿd b. al-Dayyān
In the name of God, the merciful, the compassionate.
My lady, Sitt Ṣalaf visited me and reported to me what you have instructed her.
Now, my lady, I have children; so if you deem fit that he/it should be left in my possession, (it is fine with me);
but if you transfer him/it for me to someone else, you would do me a great favor.
I am also trustworthy in this matter like two
legally fit witnesses. So, if you will do this
for me, your action will be highly appreciated. Farewell.
