Abu Muhammad Abd al-Wahhab, son of Shaykh Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani, the Baghdadi Hanbali preacher; b. 2 Sha'ban 522, trained under his father till he excelled, lecturing as his deputy at the madrasa from twenty-odd, then independently after him, and held the mazalim office for al-Nasir in 583. Clever, graceful, one of Baghdad's wits — none of his father's sons was more learned in fiqh; eloquent in preaching with a taste for jest. Once asked in his session 'what say you of the Prophet's house?' he answered 'they have blinded me' — being himself weak-eyed — answering for his own house. He died Wednesday night 15 Shawwal 593 ¹.
