Identity is grounded on the name, the birth at Oujda on 21 Ramadan 1368 (17 July 1949) and the Oujda scientific-council biography, matching the queue line 'Sheikh Mustafa Benhamza — 1949–Living'. Existence was checked before writing by filename fragments (benhamza, ben-hamza, hamza), by Arabic label and by QID across data/person/: no record existed for him. His teacher Bensaid Mahdawi al-Washani has no museum record and Oujda has no place entity, so no relations are written.",
