(1) MSS A, J, H, and Ha read “adab” (propriety). (2) MSS A, J, D, and H have “wa-waqt sinni” (and at the time of maturity) in place of “wa-sinni” (and maturity); MS Z reads “wasunan,” a scribal slip. (3) MS B reads “wa al-tahammul” (and reception) instead of “wa-sinni al-tahammul” (and the age of reception). (4) MSS A, J, and D add “wa sifat al-dabt bi-l-hifz wa-l-kitab” (and the description of accuracy through memorization and writing), while MS H adds “wa sifatu al-dabt bi-l-hifz wa-l-katb.” This clause is absent from Nuzhat al-Nazar. (5) MS H vocalizes “wa sifatu” in the nominative; the adopted wording follows MSS A, D, and W. (6) MS J adds “kitab” (book). (7) MS H reads “wa al-rihla” (and travel) with a nominative ending; the adopted text follows MSS J, D, and W. (8) MS Ha includes “ilayhi” (to him). (9) MS J reads “ala al-asanid” (concerning the isnads); the phrase “ala al-masanid” (concerning the musnads) is missing from MS Z. The adopted wording agrees with Nuzhat al-Nazar. (10) MS H reads “wa al-abwab” (and the chapters). The adopted text, consistent with Nuzhat al-Nazar, omits the additional “aw al-shuyukh” (or the teachers) found in MSS A, J, and D, as well as the “wa al-shuyukh” (and the teachers) found in MS H. (11) MS B has “aw al-ilal wa al-atraf” (or hidden defects and incipits) instead of “aw al-ilal, aw al-atraf.” MS H reads “wa al-ilal wa al-atraf.” The adopted reading accords with Nuzhat al-Nazar.
