Biographic comments

A short biography in LGLG00124, fols 1v-2v: He arrived in Ethiopia through the Sudanese province of Sennār. His master in Ethiopia was Sayyid Bušrā b. Ay Muḥammad. Subsequently al-Dungulānī traveled to Rāyā and became Ǧamāl al-Dīn al-Annī's teacher in 1261 until he traveled further to Tigray and settled for a while in the village al-Ḥinṭālū. In 1262 he traveled to al-Ḥiǧāz where he died during the ḥaǧǧ.
Presumably identical with Šayḫ Muḥammad Numayrī, a Sudanese muftī, mentioned in Ahmad (2001), p. 109.
