In his book “The Ranks of Shazlia” ibn Cowhan added to his status
saying: “He was of high rank and his knowledge was honorable. Not
even by the width of a hair did he ever step out of the confines of
religious jurisprudence. He was tirelessly enthusiastic about all
religious affairs and labored in the spreading of its virtue. He was a

descendant of our master Al Hasan, may Allah be pleased with him,
from the „Family of the Prophet‟s House‟ and one found in him their
fine attributes. He focused himself entirely upon Allah, and was both
brave and generous, and also indifferent to the pleasures of this
world.”
Even at an early age ibn Bashish had been in the habit of directing
his life towards Allah and his worship and pilgrimage. And this was a
great source of comfort to him. This is confirmed by Abulhasan who
