Nimbaly Thiam had inherited it from Arfang Massing Thiam, who had inherited it from their oldest brother Youssou Thiam, who was a Mandinka religious scholar well known in the Diaoba area of Sedhiou.The poem was originally written by an Arab poet called 'Abdullah bin Nasser. In the poem, the poet gave tribute to his teacher, named 'Abdullah bin Tāhir. The poet also talks about death and the afterlife and praises God. According to the manuscript owner, the copy from which he made his own (the one digitized here) was written in Arabic with extensive glosses in Soninke Ajami. He translated the Soninke Ajami comments in Mandinka Ajami in order to help himself and other Mandinka speakers access the insights in the poem more easily
