Transliteration:( Inna haazaa lafis suhu fil oolaa )
21. In Arabic language SAHEEFAH is referred to those pages on which the words of Allah Almighty are written. In technical terminology, it is the heavenly message, which had been revealed to the Prophets in the form of a booklet. There are four hundred heavenly SAHEEFAHS in a total of which ten were revealed to Hazrat Adam (On whom be peace), fifty on Hazrat Sheeth (On whom be peace), and ten on Hazrat Ebrahim (On whom be peace) (Tafseer Azizi). It is stated in the marginal notes of KASHAAF that the total number of SAHEEFAHS are one hundred and ten from which ten were revealed to Hazrat Musa. Thus, Hazrat Musa (On whom be peace) was given the Tauraat as well as ten SAHEEFAHS. By the first Mosaic SOHAF denotes the Tauraat Shareef.
