Identity: the queue line's bearer (spelled 'Youssef' in the queue) is the Ijzim-born judge and poet of 1849–1932 — the maternal grandfather of Taqi al-Din al-Nabhani, the Hizb ut-Tahrir founder, who is a different man and is not built in this wave. Existence checks by name fragments (nabhani, nabahani) and by QID across data/person on origin/main found only muhammad-ibn-khalifa-al-nabhani, a different bearer of the nisba, and no prior record for this man under any slug. His judgeships and teaching posts are never relations, and Ijzim and Beirut have no place entities on main, so relations are empty.",
