Ê¿AlÄ« al-ḤarÄ«rÄ« in 848 AH 1450 AD.</strong></p><p>The manuscript contains a <em>samÄÊ¿</em> سماع note written by the scribe himself and further annotated by ShihÄb al-DÄ«n b. Aḥmad al-QÄdirÄ« al-Mawá¹£ilÄ« al-IqnÄÊ¿Ä« in 849 AH. It is preserved in a Mamluk-style binding possibly contemporary with the manuscript.</p><p>The work is by <strong>AbÅ« al-Faá¸l Ibn Ê¿Aá¹Äʾ AllÄh al-IskandarÄ«</strong> d. 709 AH / 1309 AD one of the great Sufi imams also renowned as a <em>muḥaddith</em> preacher and MÄlikÄ« jurist. He was a student of AbÅ« al-Ê¿AbbÄs al-MursÄ« d. 686 AH / 1288 AD and the second successor of ImÄm AbÅ« al-Ḥasan al-ShÄdhilÄ«. Ibn Ê¿Aá¹Äʾ AllÄh was the first to systematically transmit the teachings of the ShÄdhiliyya order in written form.</p><p>Born in the mid-7th century AH 13th century AD he grew up in Alexandria during the Mamluk period. Although detailed information about his early life is limited he studied with leading scholars in all branches of the traditional Islamic sciences and became a distinguished authority in MÄlikÄ« jurisprudence. His lifetime coincided with the flourishing of several major Sufi orders including the ShÄdhiliyya Mawlawiyya Chishtiyya and Aḥmadiyya.</p><p>His father had been a disciple of ImÄm al-ShÄdhilÄ« though it is unlikely that Ibn Ê¿Aá¹Äʾ AllÄh himself met the founder of the order. Initially inclined toward jurisprudence rather than Sufism he later became a devoted disciple of Shaykh AbÅ« al-Ê¿AbbÄs al-MursÄ«. As evidenced by his most important and enduring work <em>al-Ḥikam</em> Ibn Ê¿Aá¹Äʾ AllÄh emerged as a Sufi master in his own right and was already recognized as a shaykh by the time of al-MursÄ«'s death.</p><p>He became the third major figure of the ShÄdhiliyya order which originated in Morocco and spread throughout North Africa and beyond. While enjoying a prominent scholarly career in Cairo under the Mamluks he died at approximately sixty years of age in 709 AH 1309 AD and was buried in the QarÄfa cemetery.</p> hardcover
