c. 1262 CE · c. 660 AH

Safi al-Din Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Tabataba, known as Ibn al-Tiqtaqa, was born, it seems, shortly after the Mongol conquest of Baghdad in 656/1258 — he does not mention witnessing it himself — and his line runs back to al-Hasan ibn Ali (may God be pleased with him) through Ibrahim al-Tabataba 1.
