Sheikh Hassan prayed for him, and the Sheikh used to joke with him, his father saying to him, "Son of al-Ja'ali, Abu Diliqeenat." So he said to Diliqeenat, "My father is not like your father, Hassouna al-Hamal." Hamad, son of the scholar Abd al-Malik, read to his father and sat in his hermitage after him. Many read to him, including the scholar Hamad al-Jadhoub and others. Habib Nisi al-Rukabi, his dwelling is in Dangala Qashabi (1), and he is one of the great saints of the Rukabiyya.
