Summary
Shihab al-Din Ahmad ibn al-Manufi al-Maliki al-Qahiri. Al-Manawi, in his book Nafa'is, describes him as one of the leaders of piety 1.
Thirty-three years in Manuf
He served as judge of the town of Manuf for thirty-three years. No injustice was attributed to him, and he was not elevated by the loss of his child. He was appointed judge of Cairo shortly before his death, but he was not able to act there, and death overtook him. He died on the night of Friday, the last day of Dhu al-Hijja in the year 921 1.
