King Faisal Center:
1—Two volumes held at the Center under the shelfmarks (100, 101). They were copied in the twelfth Hijri century, in 1147 AH, and contain the tafsir from near the end of Part Seven to the beginning of Part Twenty.
This manuscript is designated by the siglum (F).
One of the two volumes is held under shelfmark (100):
It begins with verse 74 of Surah al-Anām and extends through verse 56 of Surah Yūnus. On the recto of its first folio is a seal, perhaps indicating that the copy had been endowed.
Its opening reads:
“In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful. Lord, aid me through Your bounty and kindness, O Generous One. Commentary on the interpretation of His words: ‘And when Abraham said to his father Āzar…’ [al-Anām: 74] …”
Its ending reads:
“The part is complete, through praise of Allah, His aid, and His gracious granting of success. It is followed by His words: ‘O mankind, there has come to you an admonition from your Lord, a healing for what is within the breasts, and guidance and mercy for the believers’ [Yūnus: 57], from the remainder of Surah Yūnus, in goodness and well-being, from al-Tabarī’s Tafsir. Allah knows best. Completed, completed. Amen.”
It comprises 335 large-format folios, each page ruled in 45 lines.
The second of the two volumes is held under shelfmark:
101:
It begins with verse 57 of Surah Yūnus and ends with verse 93, the final verse of Surah al-Naml. On the recto of its first folio is written: “Part × of the Tafsir by the shaykh and imam, the learned scholar and erudite authority, the accomplished master and profound savant Abū Jafar Muhammad ibn Jarīr al-Tabarī (may Allah be pleased with him).”
Its opening leaves have suffered deterioration.
