Overview
Sayf al-Din Ibn Taymiyya, khatib of Harran and son of its khatib al-Fakhr; he heard there from his father Fakhr al-Din, from 'Abd al-Qadir al-Ruhawi and others, travelled to Baghdad where he heard Ibn Sukayna, Ibn Tabrazad and others, and took fiqh from Ghulam Ibn al-Muni. 1
His chair
He returned to Harran and took his father's place after his death — preaching, exhorting, teaching and giving tafsir from the chair in the congregational mosque; Ibn Hamdan said he was a khatib of counsel, a chief, firm and sober-minded. His works include the Zawa'id supplementing his father's tafsir and Ihda' al-qurb ila sakini'l-turb. 1
