I add: Najm himself reported that he saw the Creator in a dream on eleven occasions; during one of them He said to him, “I am pleased with you.”
Najm held the chair of instruction at the ʿAdrāwiyya. Earlier, he had read al-Muqniʿ with its author, and he also taught at the Ṣārimiyya in the Quarter of the Strangers, at the Umm al-Ṣāliḥ Madrasa, and at the outer Shāmiyya. He served as deputy judge for several jurists (1), among them al-Rafīʿ al-Jīlī. He composed The Method in Disputation in two volumes, along with other works.
Those who transmitted from him include Abū al-Faḍl Ibn ʿAsākir, his cousin al-Fakhr, al-ʿImād ibn Badrān, and Muḥammad ibn Yūsuf al-Irbilī.
He passed away in Shawwāl (2), 638 AH.
