The English article states in its lead text that he 'was part of the Islamic Sufi group known as the Tijaniyyah' and in its education section that 'He received the Tijjaniyyah Tariqah' — a personal statement of membership and of initiation, not only of the leadership his honorific claims ('Grand Leader of the Tijaniyya Movement in Nigeria'). Its infobox gives denomination 'Sunni, Sufi' and movement Tijaniyya. The Hausa article calls him a follower of the tariqa in the same terms but follows the English article closely and counts as the same attestation family; Wikidata's structured value is Islam only. His Sunni and Maliki values rest on the infobox alone and are recorded here in the note only: a Maliki segment would need a second source naming the school for him. His father was a Tijani muqaddam who held ijazah in the order; that is family background and is not what this value rests on — it rests on the text's statement about Bauchi himself.",

There is no Arabic or Urdu Wikipedia article, so the Arabic and Urdu prose are written from the English and Hausa sources.

His teachers named in the article (his father Alhaji Usman, Shaykh Abubakar Atiku, Shaykh Abdulqadir Zaria) have no museum records and no place entity exists for Gombe, so no relation edges are written; his marriage to a daughter of Ibrahim Niass is stated in the prose, the daughter having no record of her own.",
