Ismail Ibn Ishaq Al Qadi

Isma'il ibn Ishaq ibn Isma'il ibn Hammad ibn Zayd ibn Dirham. Ibn al-Nadim says that he spread and publicised the jurisprudence of Malik, argued for it, wrote books on it and called people to it, and that he was an excellent jurist who held the judgeship. ²

He died on the night of Wednesday, seven days before the end of Dhu al-Hijja 282 AH. His books include Ahkam al-Qur'an (Rulings of the Qur'an), al-Mabsut (The Extended), Shawahid al-Muwatta' (Witnesses for the Muwatta'), al-Maghazi (The Campaigns), and a refutation of Muhammad ibn al-Hasan, which he did not finish. ²
