Abu al-Hasan Ali b. Maymun, the Maghribi Sufi who succeeded Abu Madyan in his path, resident of Marrakesh, scrupulous; a treatise attributed to him was disowned as his only in that he alone arranged it — and many profited; he died at Azammur in the Marrakesh countryside in 607 1.

Abu Madyan al-Ghawth

The singular gnostic Abu Madyan Shu'ayb b. al-Husayn, shaykh of the Maghrib; he settled at Tlemcen, unmatched in worship and devotion, far-famed — Ibn Arabi calls him 'the shaykh of shaykhs'; among his students Abu Abdallah al-Qurashi, and learned verifiers like Ibn Arabi himself reached him. Summoned by the sultan of the Maghrib, on reaching Tlemcen he sat, faced the qibla, recited the tashahhud, said 'Here I come, here I come, hastening to You, Lord, to please You', and died; buried in the cemetery of worshippers nearing eighty, his grave a well-known shrine; he died in 590.
