He eventually settled in Damascus, where he narrated prolifically, writing down the traditions of virtually everyone who crossed his path. For himself and for others he copied large amounts in a graceful Maghribi hand, produced hadith extracts for a number of teachers, led the prayer in Masjid Fulūs, and lived in its vicinity.
