  • Ibn_Masheesh_the_Pivot, page : 48

Awlia questioned me: Do you seek the pivot in this land when he is in
your own country? Return to your country and you will find him.'"

Ibn Sabagh continued his narration saying, "So Abulhasan returned
to Morocco and searched until he met his teacher who was the
shaykh, the wali, the pivot, who was knowledgeable and had reached
the state of sincerity and the rank of safety. He was my master Abul
Muhammad Abd Assalaam, son of Bashish a descendant of the
Prophet through Alhasan, peace be upon them."

Just before Abdulhasan parted company with ibn Bashish, ibn
Bashish supplicated to Allah, then said to him, "Go to Africa and
reside in a country called Shazla, for indeed Allah, the Mighty, the
Glorified will name you 'The Shazli'. After that you will move to a land
in the east where you will inherit the state of poverty."

The spiritual predictions for Abulhasan that lit the heart of ibn Bashish
from the unseen were drawn from the Light of Allah and each of the
predicted events materialized at their decreed point in time.
