al-Yūnīnī, al-Tāj Muẓaffar b. al-Ḥanbalī, and his cousin (1); Yaḥyā b. al-Nāṣiḥ; Yūsuf b. Yaʿqūb al-Irbilī; Yūsuf b. Maktūm al-Ḥabbāl; Ayyūb b. Abī Bakr al-Ḥammāmī; ʿAlī b. ʿAbd al-Wāḥid al-Anṣārī; al-Majd Muḥammad b. ʿAsākir; al-Taqī Ibn Abī al-Yusr; ʿAbd al-Wahhāb b. Muḥammad al-Qunbaṭī (2); al-Kamāl ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz b. ʿAbd; and many others besides.

By licence (ijāzah) only he also transmitted to al-Quṭb b. ʿAṣrūn, Aḥmad b. Abī al-Khayr, Abū al-Ghanāʾim b. ʿAllān, al-Fakhr ʿAlī, and several others.

Al-Qūṣī said: “Among them his chain of transmission was the loftiest, yet he combined it with abundant humility, manifest devotion, and a sense of honor that pointed to a pure lineage. I kept his company until the time of his death.”

The ḥāfiẓ al-Mundhirī, in Nasab al-Khushūʿī (4), wrote: “It is al-Furshī—spelled with an initial fāʾ,” and he related that his father Ibrāhīm said:

“Our remote grandfather used to lead the people in prayer, and he died in the miḥrāb (5); the nisba al-Furshī comes from the trade of selling bedding.”
