Overview
Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn al-Jahm, known as Ibn al-Warraq al-Marwazi, was a trusted and excellent imam, learned in the principles of fiqh, and a just judge. 1 He heard from the judge Isma'il and studied fiqh under him, and wrote weighty books in the Maliki school, among them a book on the explanation of the Sunna, a book of disputed questions, and «al-Hujja fi madhhab Malik». 1 The Mawsu'a, citing Shajarat al-Nur al-Zakiyya, counts him among the Maliki scholars. 1 The date of death in the heading is not legible in the scan, so none is stated here.
