قال الشيخ الإمام العالم الحافظ المتقن المحقق وحيد عصره وفريد دهره صدر

الأفاضل وبحر الفضائل أبو العباس شهاب الدين أحمد بن الشيخ الإمام العلامة

للورثة كان المجتمع ثلثمائة والله سبحانه وتعالى أعلم فهذا آخر ما يسر بايراده

وازدياده والصلاة والسلام على محمد الذي ساد الخلق بانفراده وعلى آله

الذين سعدوا بأسعاده والحمد لله وحده وصلى الله على سيدنا محمد وآله

وصحبه وسلم ...
