He mentioned our Sheikh al-Khasibi, noting that he had attained success before him, and he mentioned Sheikh Abu al-Husayn Muhammad ibn Ali al-Jilli, stating that he came after his Sheikh [al-Khasibi] and that he possessed such wonders, arts of knowledge, rarities, and wisdoms as would delight the eye.

Then he [the poet al-Halabi] mentioned himself, titling himself 'al-Wali' (The Protégé/Saint). He spoke of this poem, calling it a piece of wisdom, asserting it is even grander than what he said in its praise. He then mentioned Aleppo, stating it is his city, the place of his birth, and where he was raised; he praised the Sheikhs who lived there during his era—may Allah be pleased with them. Finally, he returned to the sincere ones among the believers and the entirety of the Monotheists with a universal greeting from a sound heart. May Allah grant him and all the believers vast mercy.

Likewise [we mention] the leading ascetic, the worshipper, the devout, the pious, the virtuous, the active scholar Radi al-Din, the remnant of the righteous predecessors: Bakhtiyar ibn Abi Mansur al-Daylami. His virtue guided us to his righteousness, and his fragrant soul granted us insight and introduced us to his correctness and success.
