Summary
Ibn Qurqul, author of Matali' al-Anwar; among the virtuous and righteous, companion of al-Andalus's scholars, whose book rivals Qadi 'Iyad's Mashariq al-Anwar; he prayed Friday in the mosque, then death came upon him — he recited Surat al-Ikhlas and repeated it quickly, bore witness three times, and fell on his face dead in prostration. 1
