al-Islām Ibn Taymiyya, as established by Dr. ‘Abd al-Hakīm al-Anīs in an article published on the Alukah website.

Other sources from which he quoted without acknowledgment include “Laqt al-Manāfi‘” by Ibn al-Jawzī, “Minhāj al-Bayān” by Ibn Jazla, and “Al-Mūjaz” by Ibn al-Nafīs. As for his statement in the discussion of clothing, “The author of Al-Minhāj said,” the entire passage was taken from that author through al-Hamawī’s book.

In matters of jurisprudence, he relied chiefly on “Al-Mughnī,” “Al-Muhallā,” and works belonging to the various legal schools. We have therefore combined the two volumes in the following list of their principal sources:
