Summary
Ibn al-Ustadh, qadi of Aleppo; he worked at the madhhab and excelled in the sciences and hadith, gave fatwas, taught, and held the judgeship of Aleppo under both the Nasiri and Zahiri dynasties; al-Dhahabi said he was a dignified breast, deep in reverence, gathered of virtues. 1
His lost commentary
Among his works was a commentary on the Wasit in about ten volumes, of which almost nothing survives — apparently lost in the Tatar calamity at Aleppo, in which he lost wealth and family; al-Subki said he has marginal notes on Ibn al-Salah's fatwas showing abundant excellence and sound grasp of the madhhab. 1
