Summary
Shihab al-Din Ahmad Ibn al-Qarsali al-Dimashqi al-Hanafi; he was a farmer — one day he took a staff from his orchard, dug the earth with it, and it turned up for him a flowing well whose span brought three dirhams; he left farming and took to learning from that day, then studied under our shaykh, was among the cleverest of men, mastered sciences and attended the lessons of his age — dying at ninety in 918. 1
