Muhammad Abu al-Su'ud al-Jarhi was a Sufi shaykh of the tenth century AH whose students included both scholars and ordinary people. Though he was held in great esteem, he would say that he had not yet reached the station of a beginner on the path and that God had simply veiled his faults. He passed away in 930 AH. His mosque and tomb stand at Kom al-Jarhi in Old Cairo, near the old Malik al-Salih bridge and a short way north of the mosque of Amr ibn al-As.
