He had many writings as well as useful annotations in both the subsidiary and the foundational disciplines. Of these, he completed (1) a number that were then put into fair copy and circulated from him; a large collection (2) he left unfinished; and yet another group ⦗134⦘ he did finish, but they were never written out in a clean copy.

A number of the scholars of his time praised him and his virtues—among them the judge al-Khuwayyi (3), Ibn Daqiq al-ʿId, Ibn al-Naḥḥās, Ibn al-Zamlakānī, and others.

I found, in the handwriting of Shaykh Kamāl (4) al-Din Ibn al-Zamlakānī, the remark that all the prerequisites of independent legal reasoning (ijtihād) were fully realized in him; that he possessed unrivalled mastery in graceful composition (5), precision of expression, orderly arrangement, classification, and clarification. On one of his works he wrote these three lines of his own verse:

What can the describers ever say of him,
when his qualities transcend all enumeration?
A compelling proof of God he stands—
the wonder of the age among us.
A manifest sign within creation (6),
whose lights outshine the breaking dawn.

Such accolades were bestowed upon him when he was scarcely thirty years old.
