Sayyid Amīn Kutbi was Shaykh Mujahid’s main Ustādh and Mujīz. The Shaykh received from his teachers in Makkah the thabat of Sayyidi Mahfūdh al-Tirmisi (a Makki scholar from Java, Indonesia). Sidi Mahfūdh Tirmisi was a humble man whom scholars rushed to for knowledge on hadith. He penned a commentary (sharh) on Imam ‘Irāqi’s Alfiyyah fil hadīth. An old copy of Sidi Mahfūdh Tirmisi’s thabat is preserved at the Zawia in Cape Town, Walmer Estate.
