Overview
Ibn al-Fa'us, Abu'l-Hasan 'Ali b. al-Mubarak of Baghdad — Hanbali, cobbler, ascetic; he preached on Fridays and people held him in conviction for his piety, austerity and sincerity; he transmitted from the qadi Abu Ya'la and others, and Abu'l-Mu'ayyad al-Ansari heard from him. 1
His ways and death
In his dictation session he would have the water-carrier brought and sip from it to make those present think him not fasting — though he usually was. He died on the night of Saturday 19 Shawwal 521; the prayer over him next day at the palace mosque was a witnessed day, he was buried near Imam Ahmad's grave, the markets of Baghdad closed, and the common folk of Baghdad cried at his funeral, "this is a Sunni, Hanbali day." 1
