Ibn al-Najjār said: “He transmitted a great deal and compiled for himself a mashyakha (register of his teachers) in fourteen fascicles. He was truthful, virtuous, and devout; he wrote extensively in his own hand and never stopped seeking and imparting knowledge until his death. The leading ḥuffāẓ narrated from him. Ibn Nāṣir praised him and his household in the highest terms. (1)

Al-Samʿānī said: “A virtuous shaykh, well-versed in literature; he has delicate poetry. His recitation and transmission are sound. He read a vast amount on his own and copied with his own hand a quantity beyond reckoning,”
