520 3    |a This MS contains two items written in Arabic with line by line Swahili translation. The first is an Utendi praising the Prophet Mohammed and his companions. The second is the famous religious poem entitled ‘Hamziyya’ however here in a incomplete version. The complete version and description of this poem can be found in Mss 53823 and 53827 (Hichens collection). Here the sequence of pages is not correct, probably occurred during binding, and the beginning of the poem is a few pages after the start of the MS.
