Shaykh Salim al-Masuti (1832 to about 1906) was a Hanafi scholar of Albanian origin, born in the al-Uqaybah quarter of Damascus. He taught for many years at Jami' al-Tawbah, where he led the prayer and taught Sahih al-Bukhari and Hanafi law, and he was a Sufi of the Khalwati and Shadhili paths. He was famed for his trust in Allah, his generosity and his detachment from the world, and among his students was Shaykh Abu al-Khayr al-Maydani. He was buried in the al-Dahdah cemetery, and his son lies in the same grave.
