Keep Searching Al-Ahram, I was able to find numerous references to his lengthy career, as well as an obituary on April 25, 1992 (page 12). I can't link because the service is subscription only, but I have a copy of the obituary (in Arabic) if anyone is interested in verifying.

Canadian Paul's source appears to be a fan site, and there's no reason to believe any of those books contain significant coverage of the subject.

It's a blog - not the best ... but who blogs about non-notable 100-year old players? I don't know how you've drawn that conclusion.
