Sayyidi Ibrahim al Qurashi ad Disuqi
The master of Tariqa Burhaniya Disuqiya Schadhuliya and the lord of its secrets is Sayyidi Ibrahim ad-Disuqi - Abul Ainin - Abul Aunayin ("The one with double help").
He is the one whose prayers are answered.
Sayyidi Ibrahim was born in Desuq (Northern Egypt) in the year of 633 AH, during the last night of the month Shaban.
He is one of the Imams to whom Allah revealed His sacraments. He belongs to the last group of the "saba'a al mathani" (the seven doublets), the poles of Sufism, responsible for the "nawafil" (voluntary augmentation of duties).
Just as the founders of the four Islamic schools of thought have taught the muslims about "farida" (the duties in Islam), so are the Sufi poles responsible for the teaching of "nawafil".
The "as-salatu-l-muhammadiya" (also called "as-salat adh-dhatiya") is a prayer by Sayyidi Ibrahim ad-Disuqi about the essence of the Prophet saws: the "unidentified stage".
All devine secrets are from this stage (also called "the ruby") which the Prophet Muhammad saws held before even the world was created.
Sayyidi Ibrahim passed away in the 676 AH, i.e. he lived only 43 years. According to some other books he lived 63 years. He was entombed in his well-known mosque in Desuq.
Sayyidi Abul Hasan al Shaduli
Sayyidi Abul Hasan ash-Shadhuli was born in the year 593 AH (1196 AD) and lived until 656 AH. He is a descendant of Sayyiduna Al-Imam
Al-Hussein and the founder of the well known Sufi Order "Ash-Shadhuliyya".
He was known for always being patient and reacting kindly and perfectly to any kind of troubles. He fought back his enemies through decent
behavior and he was never provoked. This confused his opponents until they were despaired. For this reason they called him "ash-Shadh"
meaning "the weird" as a way of mocking him. But then Allah granted him his famous surname "ash-Shadhuli".
Allah added "li" to the name they called him, meaning that Sayyidi Abul Hasan is abnormal for them but special for Allah.
This is why nobody can become a saint unless accepted by Sayyidi Abul Hasan ash-Shadhuli.
The sheikh of Sayyidi Abul Hasan ash-Shadhuli was Sayyidi Abdel Salam Ibn Bashish; he conveyed the Tariqa and the Awrad to him.
Sayyidi Abdel Salam Ibn Bashish had only this one murid (follower), but he equated to a whole nation because the Shadhuliyya
followers became numerous later on. After being with Sayyidi Abdel Salam Ibn Bashish, Sayyidi Abul Hasan ash-Shadhuli spent most
of his life in Alexandria. His servant and companion, Sayyidi Abdel Aziz al Mukanna bi Abi-l-Magd married Sayyidi Abul Hasan's sister
Sayyidatu Fatimatu ash-Shadhuliya. Two of their sons were the famous saints Sayyidi Ibrahim ad-Disuqi and Sayyidi Musa Abul Umran.
Sayyidi Ibrahim ad-Disuqi received the Tariqa from Sayyidi Abul Hasan ash-Shadhuli.
