About this text
  • The original handwritten board has مَلابِسٍ with tanwin. It is written here as مَلابِسَ because it is a diptote (mamnūʿ min aṣ-ṣarf) and does not take tanwin.
  • In the transliteration the case ending is dropped at each full stop, as you would pause when reading aloud. Word lists keep the full ending except where a word ends a sentence.
