Abu al-Hasan Ali b. Musa b. Khalaf al-Ansari, resident of Fez and its khatib, author of Shudhur al-Dhahab on the art of alchemy — none versified alchemy as he did, so it was said: 'if he does not teach you gold-making he will teach you adab; if his gold escapes you his adab will not'; known as Ibn Arfa' Ra's, 'poet of beauty, sage of verse'; he died in 594 ¹.
