Isma'il Ibn al-Jawaliqi, man of letters and son of a man of letters — Abu'l-Qasim b. Abi Mansur the Hanbali; born Sha'ban 512, he heard Abu'l-Husayn, read Qur'an and adab under his father, was versed in language, Arabic and letters with a fine bearing, and took his father's place at the caliphal palace. ¹

Ibn al-Jawzi said, "we never saw a son so like his father, even in his walk and gestures"; Ibn al-Najjar called him "of the notables of scholars in letters — sound of transmission, much memorised, a proof, trustworthy, noble, of a fine hand." He died Friday mid-Shawwal 575 and was buried in Imam Ahmad's cemetery. ¹
