His example in righteousness and worship. It is said that Umayyah composed for him. And likewise the old cemetery around the mosque, in it are many of the righteous servants of God. It is narrated that a descendant of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, performed I'tikaf in the old mosque during Ramadan. He went out one night to relieve himself at midnight. When he returned, he found in all the graves men sitting, wearing robes and white turbans. He passed by them to the mosque. When he was in their midst, one of them said to him: "Glory be to God, how can you tread upon us with your sandals?" So he took them off until he entered the mosque. May God have mercy on them. And he mentioned the blessings and virtues of the scholars and ascetics. And the people submitted to him until he was buried there, and they are three in that garden. My father, may God have mercy on him, said: Our teacher Sheikh Ibrahim Al-Zalni had great prestige among the people of Tishket at that time, due to their belief in him. Otherwise, they would not have accepted him in that place. After the death of Imam Sayyidi Ali Al-Qasim, the people of the Great Mosque agreed on the scholar Ahmed, the father of our master Sark. They raised his name to Abu Al-Barakat, the judge and scholar Mod, who completed his appointment and he became the Imam of the Mosque. After some of his rule, the son of Sayyidi Al-Qasim came from Nuwat and threatened those people for two months. He said to the scholar: "Do you want to make the son of the Sheikh our Imam?" They said to him: "After the appointment of Imam Ahmed, if you do not leave me, I will expel you all." Then he returned to Nuwat. After seven months, Imam Ahmed, may God have mercy on him, passed away. They agreed on the scholar Sayyidi Ali Al-Yazuli, who was a scholar. The judge and scholar Mod appointed him as Imam and appointed the virtuous scholar Othman bin Al-Hasan bin Al-Haj Al-Tukri. He was one of the most pious of the scholars. When his death approached, he gave him his clothes. He had a custom of consoling the worshippers in the mosque.
