Born in 650 AH at the fortress of Jaʿbar, he studied Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim and other collections, preached to the people, and had a wide command of Qur’anic exegesis and related sciences. A man of evident piety and worship, he died on the twenty-fourth of Muḥarram and was buried in their zawiya (3) beside his father, outside Bāb al-Naṣr.

He was the leading authority of the school, teaching the Ḥanafīs and others. Gifted, learned, and devout, he passed away in Rabīʿ al-Awwal.

• Shaykh ʿImād al-Dīn: Ibrāhīm (7) ibn ʿAlī ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn ʿAbd al-Munʿim ibn Niʿmah al-Maqdisī al-Nābulusī al-Ḥanbalī—the imam, scholar, and devoted worshiper, shaykh of the Ḥanbalīs of the region and their long-standing mufti (8)—died in Rabīʿ al-Awwal.

• The shaykh, imam, and ascetic: Muḥibb al-Dīn ʿAbd Allāh (9) ibn Aḥmad ibn al-Muḥibb ʿAbd Allāh ibn Aḥmad ibn Abī Bakr Muḥammad ibn Ibrāhīm ibn Aḥmad ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Ismāʿīl ibn Manṣūr al-Maqdisī al-Ḥanbalī. He heard a vast number of transmissions, read texts himself, prepared audition certificates, and people benefited greatly from him. He held preaching sessions based on the Qur’an and Sunnah in the Umayyad Mosque and elsewhere. Endowed with a most pleasing recitation, he was marked by serenity, dignity, and spiritual presence, and his admonitions were widely useful. Shaykh al-Islām Taqī al-Dīn Ibn Taymiyya loved him and cherished listening to his recitation.
He died on Monday, the seventh of Rabīʿ al-Awwal; his funeral was thronged with mourners, and he was buried on Mount Qāṣiyūn. The people testified to his virtue—may Allah, exalted be He, have mercy on him—and he was fifty-five years old.
