and ʿAlam al-Dīn al-Qāsim ibn Aḥmad al-Lawraqī; al-Kamāl al-ʿAbbāsī, the blind scholar; Abū ʿAlī Manṣūr ibn ʿAbd Allāh, likewise blind; al-Taqī ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Murhaf al-Nāshirī; Abū al-Fatḥ ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Murhaf al-Nāshirī (1); Abū al-Ṭāhir Ismāʿīl ibn Hibat Allāh al-Milanjī; and others.

Al-Ḥāfiẓ ʿAbd al-ʿAẓīm mentioned him in al-Wafayāt and said (2): “He instructed people in recitation for many years (3). Students travelled to him, and most of those who now hold the teaching chairs for Qurʾān recitation in Egypt are his disciples or the disciples of his disciples. I heard hadith from him, and during his lifetime I studied the variant readings with his students (4), but I was not able to read directly to him. He was devout, virtuous, and highly accomplished in literature, with a fine delivery, eloquent, humble, and abundantly noble-minded. No one ever approached him with a need without receiving a response; on occasions the one on whose behalf intercession was sought would decline, then the petitioner would ask him to return, and he would oblige. He occupied the teaching pulpit in the Jāmiʿ al-ʿAtīq of Cairo, the Mosque of Amīr Mūsik, and the Fāḍiliyyah, until he passed away on the ninth of Ramadan, 605 AH (5).”
