Overview

Muhyi al-Din Ahmad ibn Ibrahim ibn al-Nahhas al-Dimashqi al-Shafi'i. Ibn al-Imad in Shadharat al-Dhahab says that he wrote a substantial book on holy war titled Masari' al-Ushshaq (The Downfall of Lovers), and abridged it himself. He also wrote Tanbih al-Ghafilin 'an A'mal al-Jahilin (Warning the Heedless against the Deeds of the Ignorant), on events and innovations. ¹

His death

He was killed at Damietta when the Franks attacked it. He went out with a group of its people, a great battle took place, and he was killed in it in 814 AH. The conversion to the Gregorian calendar is derived. ¹
