The answer

It is probable that "Al-Jazuli," who is repeatedly mentioned in "Mawahib Al-Jaleel," is Abd al-Rahman ibn Affan al-Jazuli, a long-lived Maliki jurist from Fes, known for his knowledge of the Maliki . Large crowds attended his gatherings, and he had useful annotations on the Risala. As for "Yusuf ibn Umar," it is probable that he is Abu al-Hajjaj Yusuf ibn Umar al-Anfasi, one of the imams of the Malikis and the imam of Al-Qarawiyyin Mosque, and he has annotations on the Risala of Ibn Abi Zayd al-Qayrawani. However, this cannot be stated with certainty due to the recurrence of these names in Maliki works and the author's failure to mention the biographies of his shaykhs in the introduction of his book.
