## I. Controlling interpretation preserved by this reissue

The 1786 hiba is unilateral, permanent, vertical, and non-invertible. Mālikī law governs its unilateral sovereign-grant character. Grant law and trust law independently govern the trust and fiduciary consequences. The analysis is cumulative; it does not harmonize one legal tradition into another or redefine Mālikī doctrine through a Western category.

Under grant law and trust law, the elements of a trust are present: the Emperor is the settlor; the United States is the trustee; Moors, subjects of the Empire of Morocco, are the primary beneficiaries; United States citizens are the derivative beneficiaries; and all twenty-five chapters are the corpus. The primary class holds the original equitable interest and priority. The derivative class takes through the trustee’s administration, and neither that derivative interest nor administrative practice can invert the primary class’s priority. The hiba is therefore a trust carrying fiduciary duties. The word “trust” need not appear in the instrument, and neither side needs to know or use that characterization. The conclusion follows from the elements present.

The sentence **“No trust cognizable in a court of equity is asserted or required.”** remains verbatim. It preserves venue; it does not deny trust formation or fiduciary duties. The trust characterization neither invokes chancery jurisdiction or equitable discretion nor moves or switches venue outside the office corridor of Articles 20–22. No assisting office or court acquires adjudication, venue, or ownership.

Bilateral treaty-performance analysis remains cumulative and preserves the bilateral form’s floor of obligation. Bilateral form does not convert the hiba into a bilateral bargain. The English bilateral recasting remains a misrepresentation of the governing instrument and a fiduciary breach. Chapter 20’s assistance clause remains valid and non-repugnant; Chapter 21 assistance extends to qadi decisions, orders, and judgments; every chapter remains within the honorary-debt and fiduciary-performance corpus.

## II. E-ND-17 — declaration corrections and conformances

### 1. Administrative recital and supersession chain

The edition identifier advances to 2026-11-03. The administrative recital supersedes edition 2026-11-02, discloses E-ND-17 as the eighth issuance, and carries forward E-ND-1 through E-ND-16, including the E-ND-13 issuance and withdrawal as to the public template. The venue-preservation sentence appears twice in the canonical plain text: once in that administrative recital and once as the operative Section IV.A clause.

### 2. Primary and derivative beneficiary classes stated expressly

Section IV now identifies Moors, subjects of the Empire of Morocco, as the primary beneficiaries and United States citizens as the derivative beneficiaries. It states that the primary class holds the original equitable interest and priority; that the derivative class takes through the trustee’s administration; and that neither a derivative interest nor administrative practice can invert the primary class’s priority. The United States holds only delegated usufruct rights and a franchise as trustee under that two-class structure. The grant vests original equitable ownership in the Moorish nation, not merely legal title in the United States government.

### 3. Distinct analytical registers preserved

The Mālikī constitutive-elements paragraph in Section II is unchanged. It already identifies the Moorish nation as the honorary primary-beneficiary class within the grant analysis. The trust-law derivative class is stated in Section IV’s cumulative grant-law and trust-law analysis, not imported into the Mālikī constitutive analysis. No Western contractual analogy is used to redefine the hiba.

### 4. Venue, assistance, and source attributions carried forward

Section IV.A retains the court-of-equity sentence as venue preservation, disclaims chancery jurisdiction and equitable discretion as venue-shifting devices, preserves the grant’s own remedy machinery, and states the Chapter 20–21 assistance rule without transferring adjudication, venue, or ownership. Both Chapter 21 recensions retain بالشرع; فوق النقص والزيادة remains attributed to 1786; لا زيادة ولا نقصان and المجرم remain attributed to 1836. Hurgronje’s rendering remains an English “redaction” and a witness to his reading; “[Mohammedan]” remains his bracketed gloss, not an additional Arabic word.

## III. QP-4 — coordinated examination revision

The examination remains a twenty-three-page, questions-only paper with 134 numbered questions in five sections and the separate Section III capstone. The 85% overall pass threshold, section minimums, and zero absolute disqualifiers remain unchanged. Every page footer advances to “Edition QP-4 (2026-11-03).” The cover identifies QP-4 as the coordinated successor to QP-3 and discloses each revision locus.

1. **Q67:** the short-answer prompt now requires the settlor, trustee, primary beneficiaries, derivative beneficiaries, and corpus; the primary class’s original equitable interest, priority, and anti-inversion rule; and the settled rule that neither the word “trust” nor either side’s knowledge or use of that characterization is required.
2. **Section III capstone, paragraph (a):** the prompt now names Moors, subjects of the Empire of Morocco, as primary beneficiaries and United States citizens as derivative beneficiaries, and requires the primary class’s original equitable interest, priority, and anti-inversion rule.
3. **Administration line and footers:** the capstone administration line advances to QP-4, revised 2026-11-03; all twenty-three footers carry the QP-4 edition and date.

Q70 continues to identify Moorish Subjects — subjects of the Empire of Morocco — as the primary beneficiaries. Questions 83–86 continue to state the two-class structure, derivative debtor beneficiaries, original equitable interest, primary-class priority, and the fiduciary-breach consequence of administrative inversion. Those already-correct provisions are substantively unchanged. Q68–69 and capstone paragraphs (b)–(f) are likewise unchanged.

The instructor Answer Key was unavailable to this production, remains withheld of record, and has not been recreated, altered, conformed, or described as conformed. No public Answer Key is issued with QP-4.

## IV. Preservation and limits of the correction

Declaration edition 2026-11-02, examination paper QP-3, Development Draft v6.2, QP-2, QP-1, and all earlier materials remain frozen of record. The author’s executed declaration and commission, all other executed counterparts, and unrelated protected instruments are outside this reissue and have not been altered. The two-page Instructions for Use, edition 2026-08-26, remain unchanged and follow the new thirteen-page declaration in the merged packet.

This certificate does not assert that the Arabic instrument expressly uses the word “trust.” It does not assert that the 1952 International Court of Justice judgment decided the hiba characterization, trust formation, fiduciary duties, or repugnancy questions; those questions remain outside that judgment’s holding.

## V. Conformance and verification

1. **Canonical plain text and public reproduction.** The superseded and successor plain-text files each contain 166 lines. Only lines 4, 6, and 86 changed: the edition identifier, the administrative recital, and Section IV’s beneficiary-class paragraph. The exact court-of-equity sentence occurs twice in the canonical plain text. The corresponding public Section IV paragraph in `instruments.html` matches the successor.
2. **Office Open XML document.** Baseline-scoped semantic comparison passed. Standalone Office Open Extensible Markup Language and XML Schema Definition validation passed for all nineteen document parts. One non-blocking warning concerns five pre-existing literal-bullet paragraphs. Nine editor-only paragraph identifiers were removed from headers and footers without changing their text or intentional formatting.
3. **Declaration print PDF.** The Portable Document Format (PDF) declaration has thirteen letter-size pages. Every page was rendered and inspected; no page warnings, clipping, unexplained text loss, or illegible revised passage was found. The corrected beneficiary-class paragraph on page 7 was also reviewed at full size.
4. **Merged packet.** The packet has fifteen letter-size pages: the thirteen-page declaration followed by the unchanged two-page instructions. Every page was rendered and inspected with no page warnings. Page-by-page text and rendered-image comparisons confirm that packet pages 1–13 match the new declaration and pages 14–15 match the unchanged instructions.
5. **Independent Word visual preview.** The designated preview rendered thirty pages and reported no near-blank or clipped page. Its thirty-page pagination differs from the thirteen-page print PDF because the renderers paginate differently. The preview returned a “lossy” fidelity classification for unsupported layout and metadata features; its sole content-loss count was expressly suppressed as separator-only endnotes with “no real notes,” not instrument text. No instrument-text loss was found in the reviewed output.
6. **Examination differential and visual inspection.** After reading-order normalization, substantive QP-3/QP-4 text changes are confined to pages 1, 12, and 23; the other twenty pages carry only the universal footer advancement. Q70, Questions 83–86, Q68–69, and capstone paragraphs (b)–(f) are unchanged. All twenty-three QP-4 pages rendered without automated page warnings. The complete contact sheet and full-size cover, Q67, and capstone pages were reviewed; the revised text is legible, unclipped, and free of collisions.
7. **Public-site conformance.** The instruments page advances the declaration body, downloads, plain-text digest, and supersession chain. The tribunal page advances the declaration, packet, examination, digest, and errata registers. The tribunal, office-corridor, and interlinear summaries now expressly distinguish primary and derivative beneficiaries and preserve original equitable interest, primary-class priority, and the anti-inversion rule. E-ND-16/QP-3 remain identifiable as frozen prior records.

**Verification:** hash any delivered successor and match it against Section VI. A match proves a byte-for-byte copy of that dated artifact. Superseded objects remain preserved under their own hashes; no successor hash certifies or modifies an executed original.
