Bald al-Wasl ila Sahil al-Qarb min Qalim Oman' most likely referring to modern day Dubai, dated Rab'i al-Awwal 1223 AH (April 1808 AD).
The text contains the second part of a book on Sunni Hadith and is described in the colophon as being copied by Sa'id ibn Said al-Maliki. The informal nature of the scripture very much indicates that the copying of the text would have been for personal use, and likely by an important figure in the local population of Al-Wasl in the early 19th century. No other examples of manuscripts by this scribe have been traced.
Single volume, decorated manuscript on paper, in Arabic, complete, 40 leaves plus 2 later endleaves, 178 x 120 mm; single column, 19 lines informal black naskh, some important sections copied in red, catch-words throughout, a decorated head-piece opening the text with decorations in red and yellow, encompassing a text-panel containing a 'Bismillah' opening to the text, text panels ruled in black, some very slight finger-soiling overall clean and attractive condition, housed in later cloth over pasteboards, rebacked in modern leather with endpapers inserted.
