I am certain some rare books will be found in his library: http://www.nafseislam.com/en/Media/Photos/subindex.php?Action=1&cat=14 SYED ABDUR REHMAN was a great scholar and his personal Library consists of thirty six thousand books on various subjects. Of these, about two thousand were manuscripts. The Present Makteba Qadiria is in fact, the altered name of the personal library of Syed Abdur Rehman. A copy of the QURAN written in gold was, after his death, presented to the king of LIBYA, IDRIS SANOSSI by Pir IBRAHIM SAIF-UD-DIN. This manuscript of the Quran was seven hundred years old. In “Tarikh Ahwarat IRAQIA†by Abdul Razak Al Hassani, it has been stated that he was well known for his examplary piety and charity, and as a great Alim who loved books and had acquired abundant knowledge. He was also a man devoted to prayer and a great Wali of his time. Hazrat Seyidena Ghousul Azam conferred upon him the Khilafat of his Order in a dream, which was later affirmed by the Walis of his time. He had million of Murids and devotees.(with Thanks: http://algillani.org
I came across the following in Allamah Zafaruddin Bihari's lecture transcription: "Hujjatul Islam, Imam Ghazaali – may Allah be pleased with him – had written the Tafseer “Yaqoot Al-Taweel” in 40 volumes, the Tafseer of Ibn Al-Naqeeb consists of 100 volumes, one of the Tafseers of Allamah Awfawi comprises of 120 volumes, Allamah Abu Bakr Ibn Abdullah wrote only the Tafseer of Surah Fatiha and first verse of Surah Baqarah in 140 volumes, Imam Abul Hasan Ash’ari’s Tafseer consisted of 600 volumes, and this Tafseer was available in the time of Imam Jalaaluddeen Suyooti whose year of demise is 911 A.H." Are any of these voluminous tafsirs still available or extant? Or have these all been lost?
