To the two shaykhs, the great ḥāfiẓ Zaki al-Dīn ibn ʿAbd al-Qawī al-Mundhirī, and Ṣadr al-Dīn Abū al-Faḍl Muḥammad ibn Muḥammad ibn Muḥammad al-Bakrī, except that specifically with respect to al-Mundhirī, the first, second, twelfth, and nineteenth [parts] were missed, due to their both having heard the entire work from Abū Ḥafṣ ʿUmar ibn Muḥammad ibn Muʿammar ibn Ṭabarzad al-Dāraqazzī, due to his having heard the first, second, fifth, sixth, eighth, twelfth, and fourteenth parts, and from the beginning of the seventeenth to the end of the twenty-second, and from the beginning of the twenty-fourth to the end of the thirtieth, and the thirty-second, from Abū al-Badr Ibrāhīm ibn Muḥammad ibn Manṣūr al-Karkhī; and due to their both having heard the remainder of the book, and also the second and twelfth parts, from Mufalliḥ ibn Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad al-Dūmī, due to his having heard them from the ḥāfiẓ, the learned jurist, the imam Abū Bakr Aḥmad ibn ʿAlī ibn Thābit ibn Mahdī al-Khaṭīb al-Baghdādī.

And by the elevated ijāzah of our shaykh from Abū al-Nūn Yūnus ibn Ibrāhīm ibn ʿAbd al-Qawī al-Dabbūsī — if it was not [by] hearing — from ʿAlī ibn al-Ḥusayn ibn ʿAlī al-Baghdādī, from al-Faḍl ibn Sahl al-Isfarāyinī, from al-Khaṭīb, due to his having heard it, by his reading it to Abū ʿUmar al-Qāsim ibn Jaʿfar ibn ʿAbd al-Wāḥid al-Hāshimī al-ʿAbbāsī, due to his having heard it from Abū ʿAlī Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad ibn ʿAmr al-Luʾluʾī, due to his having heard it from Abū Dāwūd:

By the reading of Aḥmad ibn ʿAlī ibn Muḥammad ibn Muḥammad ibn ʿAlī al-ʿAsqalānī, known as Ibn Ḥajar — may God be gracious to him — the shaykh, the imam, the distinguished scholar, the muftī of the Muslims, Shams al-Dīn Muḥammad (deceased) ibn ʿAlī ibn Muḥammad ibn al-Qaṭṭān al-Shāfiʿī, and his son Bahāʾ al-Dīn Muḥammad, and Shaʿbān ibn Muḥammad ibn Muḥammad ibn Muḥammad ibn Muḥammad ibn Ḥajar, and Nāṣir al-Dīn Muḥammad ibn al-ʿAdl Sharaf al-Dīn Muḥammad.
