رسالة مخطوطة فريدة في الرمي بالقوس و السهام, حضا على الجهاد و تعلم الرمي. بخط مؤلفها أحمد حامد نظيف زادة. ألفها بالتركية إتحافا للسلطان محمود خان العدلي سنة 1240 في المدينة المنورة حيث كان إمام مسجد خالد بن زيد و ساكنا من سكانها بإذن من الدولة العثمانية.
بين المؤلف أن سبب تأليفه للرسالة إتحافا للسلطان هو تعلق سلاطين آل عثمان بمقتضى العادة و اتباعا للسنة النبوية بتعلم السهم و "القوس المائل" و أنه لذلك جمع أربعين حديثا صحيحة ترجمها إلى اللسان التركي و شرحها مختصرا و ذكر ما ساقه من كتب في السيرة النبوية في هذا الباب من عالي الأقوال داعيا للسلطان "باستمرار الأمن و الراحة و اضمحلال أعداء الدولة من الكفرة و المنافقين و تشتتهم, و أن يحفظ ذرية السلطان و ولي عهده من الافات و العلل, و أن يقوموا على إحياء السنن الأحمدية من قبيل موضوع الرسالة لتطيب بهذا روح رسول الله فيكون الظفر بأعداء الدين و النصر حليفا دائما".
جعلت الصفحات الثلاثة الأولى للإتحاف, و روست الصفحة الأولى بديباجة مزينة بالذهب و الألوان المناسبة لفن الزخرفة في عصر السلطان محمود الثاني يتوسطها شكل بسيط لقوس و نشاب. وضعت فواصل المقدمة و الإتحاف نقاطا من ذهب على صورة فواصل السور, و جعلت رؤوس العناوين في سائر الرسالة باللون الأحمر كما كتبت سائر الرسالة بالأسود بخط الرقعة الجيد, و جدولت جميع الصفحات بالذهب, صفحات الرسالة من الورق المقهر الضارب إلى اللون الأصفر يميل إلى البني الفاتح. و جلدت الرسالة بتجليد من عصرها بجلد أحمر قان مجدول بالذهب على الدفتين الأمامية و الخلفية. مقياس الرسالة 23.5 سم طولا و 13.5 سم عرضا. أثبت المؤلف الأحاديث النبوية بالعربية كما هي ثم شرحها بالتركية يضيف إلى الشرح لطائف من كتب السير و نكتا تتعلق بالرمي و القوس و السهام. يبدأ المؤلف بحديث عقبة بن عامر: ألا إن القوة الرمي, و ينتهي بحديث سلمة بن الأكوع في الصلاة في القوس و القرن, أن رسول الله قال: صل في القوس و اطرح القرن. يتم المؤلف الأحاديث و شرحها في 37 صفحة ثم ينتقل إلى تذييلها في صفحتين بشرح لغرائب اللغة الواردة في أحاديث الرسالة, ثم يبدأ بباب أسماء القوس و أصول الرمي و ما ورد في ذلك عن السلف و كيفية الاقتداء بأهل الفن "أئمة الكمانكشلر (؟)" في الرمي أصولا و فروعا و ملاحظة حدود اختلافهم في ذلك. و المؤلف حين يذكر بأنه ليس من أرباب هذا الفن و المجتهدين فيه, يقول إنه سلك مسلك الاختصار فيما وقف عليه من رسائل في فن الرمي بالنشاب و هي بعض سرد للإمام الطبري, و رسالة بلغة الترك الجغطاي اسمها رسالة الرمي, و رسالة أخرى اسمها الإيضاح. و الملاحظات التي ذكرها المؤلف في خمس صفحات تتعلق بالموضوع كما يلي:
- أئمة الفن في التأليف في الرمي
- أركان الرمي
- اختلاف أصول الرمي و فروعه عند أصحاب الفن و أنها تعود إلى أربعة أمور
- التيمن بذكر أسماء و عدد أقواس الرسول آخر الرسالة
يلي الرسالة تتمة مبدوءة بديباجة من التذهيب و الألوان يختلف عن الأولى من نمط التذهيب في عصر السلطان محمود الثااني, و عنونها المؤلف ب: باقي السهم الصائب, أربعون حديثا رمي السهام. و الرسالة للمؤلف ينقل فيها جواب إبراهيم حنيف بن مصطفى عن سؤال في الرمي بالنبال في سبع صفحات. جعلت مقدمة الجواب بالتركية و باقي الرسالة بالعربية في فضائل رمي السهام, و هي مجموع من أربعين حديثا مسرودة سردا تنتهي في الصفحة الأخيرة بأسماء أقواس النبي و جعبته و أول من عمل القسي و نحو ذلك. و إبراهيم حنيف بن مصطفى الرومي الإسطمبولي من علماء الدولة العثمانية توفي سنة 1189 له مؤلفات منها الأعداد في الإعداد و منازل الحرمين. تلي الرسائل الثلاثة خاتمة لغوية في أربع صفحات في الجموع القياسية لابن كمال الوزير يحتمل أن المؤلف رأى داعيا لإضافتها اعتبارا لما قد يكون ورد في الرسائل السابقة مما يحتاج إلى الجواب عنه من ناحية اللغة.
ختمت الرسالة بأجزائها: "نشته شد بقلم سقم رقم فقير أحمد حامد الشهير بنظيف زادة أواخر ذي القعدة الشريفة ازشهور سنة 1240" و هي من نوع عبارات الخطاطين الذين اشتهروا بالخط. مجموع صفحات الرسالة 58 صفحة.
ترجمة المؤلف
المؤلف من أعلام الشعراء في الدولة العثمانية, ترجم له شمس الدين سامي في قاموس الأعلام المجلد الثالث ص 1917 من طبعة اسطمبول 1308 و ذكر بأنه كان من متأخري الشعراء العثمانيين, وأنه بعد أن داوم في وظائف ديوانية مختلفة مثل قلم الكتخدا, انتسب إلى طريقة الشيخ غالب المولوية في غلطة و أنه اعتزل المناصب في آخر حياته و توفي سنة 1248 متجاوزا سن الثمانين وكان له مرتبا ديوانيا. اشتهر بجودة خط التعليق كما اشتهر بمعرفة الموسيقى. كما ذكره شيخ الإسلام عارف حكمت في تذكرته بكثرة الشعر و ساق شيئا منه. و قد أفرد للمؤلف موقع الأدباء الأتراك ترجمة أخذها من قاموس الأعلام و السجل العثماني لمحمد ثريا و عارف حكمت. و لم تذكر له مؤلفات لا هذا الكتاب و لاغيره.

Trumansburg, NY: Out of Step Press. Fine with no dust jacket. 2016. Numbered Edition; First Printing. Pamphlet. The author's non-linear poem about the billeting of soldiers in civilian homes in wartime. Copy 89 of a limited edition of 250. Folded into the form of a letter, the work was letterpress printed in wraps of handmade "combat paper" made from military uniforms. The author says: "Some time ago-maybe a year, maybe two? I had a conversation with some of my Combat Paper brothers (well, the kids call them their combat paper uncles, so it follows
) that led to me writing the poem "Quartering." Which was informed by them, of course, and by all the rooms I'm in, and by imagining what is really required of all the caregivers I love. It's a thought experiment: if we tore down the barracks at military hospitals and offered incentives for Americans in the surrounding neighborhoods to quarter injured service members, what would the honest instructions…
