Ibn Juzayy

Ibn Juzayy

Abū ʿAbdallāh Muḥammad ibn Muḥammad ibn Ahmad Ibn Juzayy al-Kalbi (1321 - 1357) (in Arabic, محمد بن محمد بن أحمد بن عبد الله بن يحيى بن يوسف بن عبد الرحمن بن جزي الكلبي الغرناطي) was a scholar, writer of poetry, history, and law from Al-Andalus. He is also known as the writer who dictated the travels of Ibn Battuta. He was the son of Abú-l-Qásim Muhammad Ibn Juzayy (the panegyrist of Abú-l-Hayyáy Yúsuf of Granada) who died in the battle of Salado in 1340. [F.N. Vázquez Basanta "Abu l-Qasim Ibn Yuzayy: fuentes árabes", Al-Andalus Magreb: Estudios árabes e islámicos, ISSN 1133-8571, Nº 6, 1998 , pags. 251-288]

Ibn Juzayy wrote the Rihla of Ibn Battuta in 1352-55. It is clear that Ibn Juzayy outright copied some long passages (like the description of Medina) from the Rihla of Ibn Jubayr. [Ross Dunn 'The 'Adventures of Ibn Battuta: A Muslim Traveler of the 14th Century, p. 313 ] and used information from books from his own library.

He wrote many religious works such as his "Qawanin al-Fiqhiyyah" or "The Laws of Jurisprudence" [Muhammad ibn Ahmad Ibn Juzayy "Qawanin al-ahkam al-shar'iyah wa-masa'il al-furu' al-fiqhiyah." Bayrut 1979 ] a comparative manual of the jurisprudence of the five Sunni madhhabs (Maliki, Hanafi, Shafi`i, Hanbali, Dhahiri) with emphasis on the Maliki school. He is also famous for his tafsir of the Qur'an, his book on legal theory "Aqrab al-Wusool `ala `Ilm al-Usool" or "The Nearest of Paths to the Knowledge of the Fundamentals of Islamic Jurisprudence," as well as his treatise on Sufism based on the Qur'an, "The Refinement of the Hearts." One of his teachers was Ibn Rushd al-Saghir, the grandson of Averroes and author of "Bidiyat al-Mujtahid".

He died in Fez in 1357 two years after the completion of the Rihla of Ibn Batuta.
