Biographic comments
Important Šāfiʻī jurisconsult and grammarian. A native of Bālis, in Syria, he arrived destitute in Cairo, where his ability was recognized by his teacher in grammar, Abū Hayyān al-Ġarnāṭī (654/1256-745/1344). His main teachers in fiqh were, among others, ʻAlā' al-Dīn al-Qūnawī (d. 727/1327) and the qāḍī al-quḍā Ǧalāl al-Dīn al-Qazwīnī (d. 739/1339); he was appointed as substitute (nā'ib) of the qāḍī al-quḍā and then dismissed, but obtained the favour of the amīr Ṣarġitmiš who named him qāḍī al-quḍā in 759/1358 but for a very short period. Ibn ʻAqīl short term of office became memorable through his considerable distribution of charity to the poor and the students. He tought several subjects of religious learning, but his literary output does not seem to have been very considerable: he wrote a commentary on the Alfiyya by Ibn Mālik, on which al-Ṣuyūṭī wrote a gloss, and another commentary on the same author's Tashīl.
