Abd al-Hakim ibn al-Iraqi

Abu Muhammad 'Abd al-Hakim Ibn al-'Iraqi the khatib; a virtuous scion of merit, he held the khitaba of Egypt's mosque after his father's death — fine sermons and verse. His lines on al-'Imad b. Jibra'il, known as Ibn Akhi'l-'Ilm, master of Egypt's diwan of the treasury — who fell and broke his hand: "Al-'Imad b. Jibra'il, brother of learning, has a hand whose trace is now blamed." ¹
