The Source of Genealogy or Manba Al-Ansāb (Arabic: منبع الانساب | Persian: منبع انساب) is a historical document outlining various topics including the genealogy of the Sayyids of Bukkur (Urdu بھاکری سادات) and Sufism written by Sayyid Muīn Al-Haqq around 1426 AD and the Islamic year 830.
Sayyid Muīn lived in India where the book was originally written in Persian and was later translated into Urdu.
