Recto/verso:

Section:

Literary text in Arabic script containing poetry and prose about the infancy of Muḥammad. Dating: Probably late, perhaps 18th or 19th century. Might be a narrative about the miracle of "the splitting of the chest" (shaqq al-ṣadr) intended to be read during Mawlid celebrations—this is based on the recording of the identical text that can be found in a Facebook video (https://fb.watch/ajqp49g5TK/). The text can be found in various places online (e.g. by searching the phrase 'ولما بلغ من العمر عامين توجهت به حليمة الى مكة") but an attribution/source is harder to find. Join by OZ.
