Akmal al-din al-Babarti’s commentary on Mashariq al-Anwar has been called Tuhfat al-Abrar fi Sharh Mashariq al-Anwar in the academic studies that have been carried out so far. However, Tuhfat al-Abrar could not be identified as a name in the back endpaper of al-Babarti’s commentary, of which more than 60 copies are found in the Turkish Manuscripts Institution. Furthermore, al-Babarti’s commentary was determined to have been recorded under the title al-Ishraq fi Sharh Mashariq al-Anwar in many copies of the work, particularly in the back endpaper of the first volume. On the other hand, one opinion has become widespread regarding Tuhfa that Ibn Malak cites in Mabariq al-Azhar fi Sharh Mashariq al-Anwar as being al-Babarti’s commentary. However, this Tuhfa that Ibn Malak referred to is the commentary Tuhfat al Abrar by Muhammad b. Umar al-Arbili, who had heard of Mashariq al-Anwar from Saghani and was the first commentator of the book. Arbili’s Tuhfat al-Abrar is the source used by Wajih al-Din Umar al-Arzinjani, the second commentator of Mashariq al-Anwar before Ibn Malak, and by al-Babarti afterwards. This research uses the back endpapers of the manuscripts to determine the title of the commentary belonging to al-Babarti to be al-Ishraq and draws attention to a recurring bibliographic error in recently related studies. Additionally, the study attempts to make a modest contribution to the commentary literature by introducing the work titled Tuhfat al-Abrar by Muhammad al-Arbili, attributions to him are unknown as he is not famous.
