This is a book titled Al Azkar written by Imam Nawawi. The text was written on thick old Arabic paper in Sudani script. I couldn't confirm the origin of this manuscript however this script is very popular in West Africa. I purchased this manuscript from a friend in Lebanon. All pages are loose and originally without cover.
