The article is aimed to: 1) to make description of biography and creative process of Imam Maulana Abdul Manaf Amin al-Khatib; 2) to explain the text of manuscript </em><em>KFSMSMNM</em><em>; and 3) to explain phenomenon of literacy and strong verbal iterary tradition. The manuscript </em><em>KFSMSMNM</em><em> is not read by oneself but being read aloud to oneself. Thus, one understands the content of a manuscript </em><em>KFSMSMNM</em><em> because someone else reads it for them. This phenomenon is associated with Minangkabau people’s nature of literacy and strong verbal literary tradition, especially the adherents of Tarighat Syattariyah in Padang.</em><em></em></p>
