context_section_description: al-Qundusi was born in Qanaadasa, a community in the desert of the Maghreb, and now within the borders of Algeria. In 1828, he migrated to Fes, where he lived and had a hanout in the herb market, in which he sold herbs. 
  He lived in relative obscurity, though those who knew him described him as gnostic, saintly, esoterically knowledgable, and spiritually insightful.
  He wrote many books transcribed a number of dawawin, or collected works. He conferred upon the Moroccan Alawite Sultan Suleiman a degree in knowledge of Dala'il al-Khayrat, a seminal Sufi text composed by Muhammad al-Jazuli. al-Qundusi passed away in 1861.
