Explicit: "وقد روى اصحابنا ان الساحر يقتل والوجه في هذه الرواية ان هذا من الساحر فساد في الارض والسعي فلذلك وجب فيه القتل والوجه ان نقول [ان كان؟] للسحر حقيقة يصح باعتبارها التاثير وجب القود [؟] والافلا و[وليكن هذا؟] اخر ما اوردنا اثباته في هذا الكتاب مقتصرين عليه حامدين لله تعالى على الائمة [؟] شاكرين على فواضل نعماته مصلين على سيد انبيائه محمد المصطفى وعلى المعصومين من ابنائه فرغت من تسويده خامس عشر [؟] شهر ذي القعده من سنة ثمان ووسبعمائة والحمد لله وحده وصلى الله على سيد المرسلين محمد النبي واله الطاهرين وكتبه العبد [الفقير الى؟] الله تعالى حسن بن يوسف بن مطهر المصنف والحمد لله وحده"
