سبط ابن الجوزي

Sibt Ibn al-Jawzi, preacher and historian; in 606 he sat in the Damascus mosque exhorting to jihad — the women cut their braids, made into three hundred bridles for the mujahidin's mounts — and the governor and crowds rode with him toward Nablus to fight the Franks. ³

His descent from Ibn al-Jawzi is disputed though he is famed by it; his father's name was Farghali per an old copy of al-Wafi bi'l-Wafayat, later corrupted to Qaz'ughli. His grandfather transmitted to him; he came to Damascus around 60x AH and won great acceptance for the sweetness of his preaching, though al-Malik al-Mu'azzam's moving him to the Hanafi school drew criticism. He left a tafsir in twenty-nine volumes, a sharh of the Jami' al-kabir, Mir'at al-zaman — begun from the start of time to the year of his death — and a volume on Abu Hanifa's virtues; he died on Tuesday night, 20 Dhu'l-Hijja, at his house on Mount Salihiyya, and al-Malik al-Nasir attended the burial. ⁴
