The Quran 10. 2.

We favor the opinion of Ahmad Sharif, which is mentioned in Al-Anwar Al-Qudsiyyah, on the tongue of Ibn al-Sunumi: "I took from him and read the Quran to him." Ahmad al-Sharif then comments on this by saying: "Ahmad al-Tijani was among the companions of the bringers of attributes. He passed away in the year 1111 AH at the age of ninety years. He was steadfast in the Sunnah, acting upon its knowledge. Ibn al-Sunumi attended his death and washed him with water." In addition to the Tijaniyya, Ibn al-Sunumi also became acquainted with the Qadiriyya, Shadhiliyya, Jazuliyya, Darqawiyya, Nasiriya, Jamsiyya, and others. Thus, as Rinnert states, "he had Sufi inclinations and fell under the influence of the Moroccan Sufi orders." His interest in Sufism continued until the end of his life, remaining a prominent aspect of his personality, to the extent that he organized a special order known by his name. It is expected that Sufism helped him elevate himself and his feelings, increased his courage, and prepared him to bear this responsibility. The second line that was strengthened in his personality during that phase was his interest in jurisprudential studies. Ibn al-Sunumi continued his study of Fiqh in Fez according to the Maliki school. It is known that the people of North Africa have adhered to this school since the second century of the Hijra. Ibn al-Sunusi studied Maliki Fiqh books under the hands of his teachers. He states in the introduction he wrote for his students to the book Al-Muwatta by Imam Malik that he took Al-Muwatta in the Maghribi and Mashriqi ways. He limited himself to mentioning two of his Maghribi teachers: Jamal bin Amer al-Madani, and Ahmad bin Muhammad al-Salim al-Nasiri. It is observed from Ibn al-Sunumi's jurisprudential references the breadth of his knowledge of Maliki Fiqh and the Fiqh of other schools. This is undoubtedly due to his dedication to study during that period, taking from scholars and reading as much as he could from the many books contained in the libraries. _Zad al-Sa'ah, p. 2-13. 2.
