[3] When he was six years old, al-Rushātī's family moved to Almería, where he completed his education and began his teaching career.
He also studied ʿilm al-rijāl (tradition criticism), Qurʾānic recitation, fiqh (jurisprudence), adab (etiquette) and ansāb (genealogy).
He received an ijāza (licence to teach) from Abū Bakr ibn al-ʿArabī.
He also cites a chronicle by "the sheikhs of Mérida" and "a book written by the Christians" that had never before been translated.
[2] Al-Rushātī's other known works are Kitāb al-Iʿlām bi-mā fī Kitāb al-Mukhtalif wa ʾl-muʾtalif li ʾl-Dāraḳuṭnī min al-awhām and a response to the criticism of ʿAbd al-Ḥaqq ibn ʿAṭiyya [ar].
