What happened to him in the Hijaz was not experienced by anyone else from the land dwellers, except for Sharf al-Din, son of Barri. He was a pilgrim to the House of God. His first pilgrimage was in the year 1060 AH. His pilgrimage was accepted, and he increased in religion and righteousness. When it was his last pilgrimage, he said to the people, "The Messenger has commanded me to come to him." A multitude, beyond counting, accompanied him. He died in one of the Two Holy Cities, and the people of the Two Holy Cities, especially his own people, founded (a place) upon him. He is the seal of those who follow the path, Bared al-Fath.
