Every line of Arabic in this notebook is attributed to this printing. Where a chapter's scan was illegible and the wording had to be taken from elsewhere, that is said on the chapter's own page.
حجة الله البالغة, edited by Saeed Ahmad Palanpuri. This is the recension the notebook reads. Palanpuri is both its editor and its commentator - and his footnotes (حواشي) exist only in this edition, in no digital text.
The same scholar's Urdu commentary, Rahmat Allah al-Wasia (رحمۃ اللہ الواسعہ) - editor and commentator being one person. Where a chapter leaves a question open at its end, this is the first place to look for an answer.
These digital texts are useful for finding a word or phrase anywhere in the book. Note: they are not Palanpuri's recension - Shamela carries Sayyid Sābiq's, with his footnotes - so the page numbers differ, and in places so does the wording. Use them to locate a passage, never to cite one.
Two things that hold for every bāb
Sources a particular bāb happens to discuss - Ghazālī's إحياء علوم الدين, say, or كشاف اصطلاحات الفنون - are listed on that bāb's own page, because that is where they belong.
