[3] In the original text Shaykh Yahyaa didn’t even write Noble Shaykh before his name and instead only wrote: Yahyaa bin Alee al-Hajooree Aboo ‘Abdir-Rahmaan and the shortest description of himself compared to the other Mashaay'ikh he wrote about which is evident of his great piety and humbleness. This title was added out of respect for him (hafidhahullaah).
Also in Dammaaj is Shaykh Jameel As-Salwee and he is considered one of the most senior shuyookh of Dammaaj, he has been there for over 18 years. He is originally from Ethiopia, and he goes there for Da’wah. And shaykhs Zaayed Hasan bin Saaleh al-‘Amree al-Wasaabee Abu ‘Abdillaah, and ‘Abdul-Kareem bin Ahmad bin Hussayn al-‘Amree Abu ‘Amr al-Hajooree.
Al-‘Allaamah Abu ‘Abdir Rahmaan Yahyaa Ibn ‘Alee al-Hajooree, may Allaah preserve him, said in "at-Tabaqaat";
"Zaayid Hasan bin Saaleh al-‘Amree al-Wasaabee Abu ‘Abdillaah; Memorizer of the Qur’aan, Buloogh al-Maraam, Khateeb and teacher. A very beneficial person in various sciences and he has a small booklet on fasting, and one about inheritance.

" ‘Abdul Kareem bin Ahmad bin Hussayn al-Hajooree al-‘Amree; Memorizer of Qur’aan andLulu wal Marjaan."
Shaykhs Zaayed al-Wasaabee and Abu ‘Amr al-Hajooree, may Allaah preserve them, are from the students of Shaykh Muqbil al-Waadi’ee, may Allaah have mercy on him, and from the students of Shaykh Yahyaa al-Hajooree.
