Summary
Shihab al-'Abir, Hanbali jurist of Nablus. Al-Dhahabi said: an imam-jurist whose rank in the science of dream-interpretation cannot be reached — he has a large composition in that science named al-Badr al-munir. He heard from his uncle Taqi al-Din Yusuf and Muhyi al-Din Ibn al-Jawzi, and travelled to Egypt, Damascus and Alexandria. 1
