The Rauḍāt al-jannāt (p. 363) cites Ḥasan Rūmlū for the date of his death, while quoting from the Haft iqlīm [p. 179, no. 135], the Sulāfah [Cairo 1324 p. 498] and the Amal al-āmil [p. 49], in all of which the date is not mentioned.

The first three works in this majmūʿah are the Ṣug̲h̲rā, the Kubrā and Abharī’s Arabic Īsāg̲h̲ūjī with Mīr Ḥasan’s Persian commentary: the last is the first part of Taftāzānī’s Tahd̲h̲īb with a Persian commentary.
