Abdul-Atheem Bin Abdul-Munim Al-Bakri (1): Abdul-Atheem Bin Abi Muhammad Abdul-Munim Bin Abi Zakariyya Yahya Bin Al-Hasan Bin Musa Bin Yahya Bin Ya’qub Bin Najm Bin Esa Bin Shaaban Bin Esa Bin Dawud Bin Muhammad Bin Nuh Bin Talha Bin Abdullah Bin Abdel-Rahman Bin Abi Bakr Al-Siddiq was from the tribe of Taym, a sub-clan of the tribe of Quraysh, and a descendant of Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq known as Abu Muhammad. His ancestors were of Qaysi origin, but he was born in Sharuna and lived in Dahrut, both of which are in Upper Egypt (2). He was born in 571 or 572 AH.

Abdul-Atheem befriended the righteous and went to Northwest Africa, staying there for nearly fifteen years. It was reported that he received hadiths from Abi Abdullah Muhammad Ibn Al-Qattan in Meknes and Aba Al-Abbas Bin Zanif in Fes—and that he came into contact with several sheikhs, including Abu Ali Al-Nifti, Abu Al-Hasan Bin Mu’amala, Abu Yusuf Al-Dahmani, and others. He was a righteous man with a religious order that attracted many people. He was also well-accepted in Dahrut. It was narrated that two of his ancestors (Ya’qub and Najm) were preachers for the city of Al-Qays in Upper Egypt (3). He died in Dahrut on the 18th of Muharram in 639 AH.
