I/ 7 we have already mentioned several times, ') and whose activity exhibited itself during the latter portion of his life in Achehnese territory. This was Abdurrduf (Ach. Abdora'oh) of Singkel, known in Acheh as Teungku di Kuala, since his tomb, the most sacred in the whole country after that of Teungku Anjong, is situated near the Kuala or mouth of the Acheh river. In Van den Berg's Catalogue 2 ) of the Malay MSS. at Batavia collected by the late H. Von de Wall we find mentioned (p. 8 n°4i): — ^.^.Ucs^+JI '•&&*.£• "A work on the confession of faith, prayer, and the unity (i3ur>jj) of Allah." These words very imperfectly indicate the contents of this Umdat al-muhtdjin, of which I have also found a copy in Leiden 3 ) and another in the Royal Library at Berlin, 4 ) and have acquired a third by pur chase. B ) The book consists of 7 chapters (called faidahs), the chief aim of which is the description of a certain special kind of mysticism, of which dikr, the recital of the confession of faith at appointed times, forms a conspicuous part. Still more remarkable than all this, however, is the chatimah or conclusion which follows these seven faidahs. In this the author, the Abdurra'uf just referred to, makes himself known to the reader and gives a short notice of his life as a scholar, together with a silsilah (or as the natives pronounce it salasilah) or spiritual genealogical tree, to confirm the noble origin and high worth of-his teaching. According to this final chapter, Abdurra'uf studied for many years at Medina, Mekka, Jiddah, Mokha, Zebid, Betal-faqlh etc. He 1) Vol I p. 390 and note on p. 10 above. 2) Published at Batavia 1S77. 3) N° 1930. 4) Numbered Schumann V, 6. 5) Van den Berg appears not to have read further than the first page. 6) Among the Malay MSS. which I collected in Acheh, is an abstract made by the author himself of his z Umdat al-muhtajin under the name Kifayat al-mtihtajln, and also a short refutation of certain heretical dogmas prevalent in these parts in regard to what man sees and experiences in the hour of death. To support his teaching the writer appeals to a work of Molla Ibrahim (successor of Ahmad QushashI) at Medina; of this work I possess a Malay translation by an unknown hand. Another famous work of this same Abdurra'uf is his Malay translation of Baidhawi's commentary on the Quran, published in A. II. 1302 at Constantinople in two handsomely printed volumes. On the title page Sultan Abdulhamld is called "the king of all Mohammedans!" From this work we perceive among other things, that the learning of our saint was not infallible; his translation for instance of chap. 33 verse 20 of the Quran is far from correct. II 2
