قاضي القضاة ابن ما كولا الحسين بن علي العجلي

Chief qadi Abu 'Abdallah al-Husayn b. 'Ali b. Ja'far al-'Ijli al-Jarbadhaqani, known as Ibn Makula, a Shafi'i of the line of the amir Abu Dulaf al-'Ijli; he held Baghdad's chief judgeship from 420 — his father the amir Abu Nasr 'Ali b. Hibat Allah authored al-Ikmal fi Asma' al-Rijal. ¹

Al-Khatib said: he knew the Shafi'i madhhab, had heard Ibn Manda at Isfahan, and "we never saw a more scrupulous qadi"; Ibn al-Jawzi records the patent of his chief judgeship read in 420 and re-read in 423; born 368, he died in office in Shawwal 447. ^{2 3 1}
