It calls him a famous jurist, muhaddith, Sufi, biographer and historian, records that Qasim al-Khasasi became his shaykh in the spiritual path, quotes al-Qadiri's and al-Kattani's descriptions of him, and gives his birth on 29 Rajab 1033 AH and his death on 9 Sha'ban 1109 AH (20 February 1698). It is one of the two independent texts behind the person record's sufi/documented settlement."

  "reliability_note": "Publisher's biography page, published 25 October 2022 and updated 24 September 2024, read live on 1 November 2026. It is excerpted from the scholarly introduction to IGI's edition of the subject's own Matali' al-Masarrat and quotes the classical biographers (al-Qadiri's Nashr al-Mathani, al-Kattani's Salwat al-Anfas, Makhluf's Shajarat al-Nur). One error is recorded and not followed: it converts 29 Rajab 1033 AH to '17 May 1642 CE', where the Hijri year 1033 and the Wikipedia articles both give 1624; the person record follows 1624.",
