Overview
Ahmad b. Muhammad b. 'Abdallah b. al-'Abbas b. 'Abd al-Malik Ibn Abi'l-Shawarib; he judged Basra then the chief judgeship of Baghdad from 3 Sha'ban 405 until his death in Shawwal 417 — and he was chaste. 1
A house of judges
In his tarjama is the tale of his house in the judgeship: the judgeship was offered to his grandfather 'Abd al-Malik in al-Mutawakkil's days and he declined; it is said that of their descendants twenty-four were judges, eight of them chief qadis. 1
