Known as "Ḥayrü'n-nessāc" (the best of the weavers), he was called Abū'l-Ḥasan al-Ṣūfī. He was one of the great shaykhs possessing righteous states and manifesting famous karāmāt (saintly wonders). He was a companion of Sirrī al-Saqaṭī and other mashāyikh (spiritual masters). He lived for 120 years. When he was about to pass away, he looked toward the corner of his house and said: "May Allah have mercy on you; you are a servant of the command, and I am also a servant of the command. The command given to me will certainly be fulfilled. But the command I give may not be fulfilled." Then he got up, performed wudu (ablution), stood for prayer, prolonged his prayer, and passed away. May Allah have mercy on him. After his death, a man saw him in a dream and asked: "How did Allah treat you?" He replied: "We have been saved from your unbearable world and found our comfort."
