[69]. The takbír, i.e. the words Allah akbar, “God is most great,” is pronounced four times in Moslem funeral prayers.
[70]. Muḥammad b. al-Ḥasan and Abú Yúsuf were celebrated lawyers of the Ḥanafite school. See Brockelmann, i, 171.
[72]. This statement is not accurate. The notice of Ma`rúf Karkhí is the fourth in Qushayrí’s list of biographies at the beginning of his treatise on Ṣúfiism, and stands between the notices of Fuḍayl b. `Iyáḍ and Sarí Saqaṭí. In the Ṭabaqát al-Ṣúfiyya, by Abú `Abd al-Raḥmán al-Sulamí, the notice of Ma`rúf comes tenth in order, but occupies the same position as it does here in so far as it is preceded by the article on Abú Sulaymán Dárání and is followed by the article on Ḥátim al-Aṣamm. It appears from the next sentence that al-Hujwírí intended to place the life of Ma`rúf between those of Dáwud Ṭá´í and Sarí Saqaṭí (Nos. 14 and 15), but neither of the two above-mentioned authorities has adopted this arrangement.
[73]. LIJ. have عنوان [**Arabic] علوان.
[74]. Marwán b. Mu`áwiya al-Fazárí of Kúfa died in 193 A.H. See Dhahabí’s Ṭabaqát al-Ḥuffáẕ, ed. by Wüstenfeld, p. 63, No. 44. Al-Qárí is probably a mistranscription of al-Fazárí.
[75]. Nafaḥát, No. 44, has “Salama”. Qushayrí calls him `Umar b. Maslama.
[76]. So LIJ. B. has “al-Ḥaddád”, which is the form generally used by his biographers.
[77]. The words madhhab-i Thawrí dásht may refer either to Abú Thawr Ibráhím b. Khálid, a pupil of al-Sháfi`í, who died in 246 A.H., or to Sufyán al-Thawrí. See Ibn Khallikán, No. 143.
[78]. B. has “the Ḥulmánís”, i.e. the followers of Abú Ḥulmán of Damascus. See Shahristání, Haarbrücker’s translation, ii, 417.
