The following are quoted from {Al Durar Al
Lu'lu'iyyah} by Shaikh Mahmood al Rankoosi (pp. 9, 13, 28) who was his special student for
the last twelve years of his life:
- He knew Saheeh Muslim and Bukhaari by heart, including
individual chains of narrators and their biographies. It is not improbable that he also
knew by heart their commentaries from "Fath Al Baari", al `Ayni and al Nawawi.
- Egypt's Mufti Shaikh Muhammad Bakheet said: <<If he
was with us in Egypt, (out of respect) scholars would carry him over their
shoulders.>>
- Shaikh Muhammad al Qaayaati said: <<He is among the
rarities of this age... We were present one night when he was reciting "Saheeh Al
Bukhaari". He recited more than one hour, discussing topics and explaining Hadeeth by
heart.>>
- The great Hadeeth scholar Abdu'l Waasi` al Yamaani said:
<<I have heard teachers and preachers in numerous countries but I have never seen
anybody similar to him concerning his expertise in all Sciences.>>
- A scholar from India said in a long biography: <<He
is the Qutb (pivot, pillar) of our time and the Mujaddid (renovator of religion) of our
age.>>
- Shaikhu'l Islam in Istanbul, Musa Kaazim Afandi said:
<<He is the Qutb of the Muslim world.>>
- Al Sayyid al Kabeer al Kittaani al Maghribi said:
<<There has been no one comparable to him since five hundred years.>>
- Experts in engineering and mathematics would often attend
his lessons and concede his superiority in these sciences saying: <<We spent all our
life learning but did not reach his level.>>
