he profound scholar, the valiant, generous Pole (al-Qutb)
the erudite scholar, the exemplar Whoever seeks to find an equal to him
shall grow weary, and will not secure his likeness
Sheikh Mahmud Ahmad Murhij said, praising 'Abd al-Salih and his sons:
At their knowledge, all milestones culminate
and by their exposition, the expositor's explanation is adorned And at the watering place of their generosity, creation is quenched
along with the radiance of their guidance and the light of a lamp
Sheikh 'Abd al-Rahman Salman said, mourning Sheikh 'Id al-Salih and praising his sons:
So the sons hastened after him, decisively
to consolidate his rightly-guided methodology Habib, possessor of noble deeds and eminences
and possessor of knowledge supported by witnessing (Shuhud)
And the genius poet Badawi al-Jabal said, praising Sheikh Habib Eid al-Salih:
So upon you be peace as long as the dawn smiles
