Sefer ha-Ḥus ṿeha-Muḥash me-Ḳitsur ibn Rushd (Hebrew MS 28)

What is necessary in the arrangement of prayer: This is a book of the established rules regarding everything the ancients mentioned. Likewise, there is the Book of Obligations original: "כתאב אלפראיד", refers to the specific duties or commandments, and there is much discussion in it regarding the juz part/section. Here, we will mention this as they mentioned it in the register copied from him. This is because that speech is at the peak of clarity, and everything the master original: "אלמו'", abbreviation for al-mu'allif (the author) mentioned in the interpretation of the meaning is consistent with what they mentioned in the introduction. The introduction is consistent with what they mentioned in the section that is the foundation of this abridgment. Every rule in it is taken from the order in the register of the book that is well-known to everyone. This book is at the height of verification regarding the stages, degree by degree, until the truth is made clear as it is. Likewise, the abridgment is at its limit of verification, and everything in it is organized. What is this method in which he is traveling? He only worked on it being concerned with the rules that are the pillars of this meaning. He intended by that for everything the ancients mentioned to be consistent with what the later ones mentioned. Ultimately, everything is consistent with what God, may He be exalted, said in His holy Torah. All of this is on the order of conduct and the way of traveling within it.

Since my intention in these pages is to clarify the order we spoke of in this abridgment, and in the arrangement of the speech on this page, I will abridge everything the master mentioned in it. There is much speech in it that does not need lengthening in this abridgment. We only abridge it to the most concise speech possible. Here, we begin with an explanation of the section from which it originates. This is the first page of that speech written on the order of prayer. Here, the speech begins from the first part, and that is that he said that everything must be consistent with what the ancients said on this meaning, and everything he mentioned in the original register is correct and satisfactory to them all. We have extracted this copy from an old register written in the hand of the well-known master. Everything in it is correct, and everything he said is consistent with what the ancients mentioned. This is the end of what we intended to mention in this introduction until we begin the section that is the foundation of this abridgment. Everything in it is straight, with the help of God and His assistance. This is the book we begin from the beginning, and peace.
