\1v\ السعد قرين من صدّر (كذا) كلامه بالحمد لواهب السعادة. واليمن رسيل من أعلق يمينه بشكر تمتري الزيادة. فأحمده على ما أوّلانا من النعم ذات الطول والعرض— \214r\ وأن ينعم عليه لحظة فلحظة سعادة بشرى وتجدّد له ساعة فساعة كرامة وبشرى ورحم اللّه عبداً قال آمينا. = Niẓām al-Dīn al-Ḥasan al-Nīsābūrī, Tafsīr Taḥrīr al-Majisṭī (C.1.38)
