The accomplished scholar, Ali bin Isa Irbili says in Kashful Ghummah that: Some people informed me from my trusted friends that there was a person in Hilla known as Ismail bin Hasan Harqali from a village known as Harqal, who died during my time, but whom I did not have a chance to meet.
His son Shamsuddin narrated to me that his father said that an abscess came up on his left thigh and became as big as a fist. This abscess was there for a long time and it particularly gave him severe during the spring season. He used to lose a it of blood through He said that he wasn't able to properly offer his mandatory prayers because of the abscess. He worried so much about this that he went from village to the town of Hilla. There he met Sayyid Raizuddin Ibne Taoos, who was the most eminent scholar of the Shia during those days although he wasn't recognised as their Pontiff, only perhaps because he abstained from issuing edicts to the believers. Ismail Harqali met him and explained his problem.
