Arabic text
Description: 
Arabic text. Written on a narrow piece of paper, torn at the top and the bottom. The end of a certain chapter by praises to God (la Hawla wa-la quwwa illa bi-llah, there is no power and no strength save in God); the beginning of the sixth chapter (of …?), al-fasl as-sadis, followed by more praises and the shahada. The title of the sixth chapter is written in red ink and decoratively framed (in a somewhat shaky hand). Another praise concerning God appear on the right margins in red ink.
