The Relation of Ibn Taymiyya and Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya 155
citations in that section of al-Inṣāf fī maʿrifat al-rājiḥ that deals with
the law of non-Muslim subjects.^11 Here is a list of those authorities
whom al-Mardāwī there cites ten times or more:
- Ibn Ḥamdān, 59 citations.
- Abū Yaʿlā, 56 citations.
- Ibn Qudāma, 53 citations.
- ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, 40 citations.
- Al-Majd, 34 citations.
- Aḥmad b. Ḥanbal, 33 citations
(with multiple, contradictory versions at 11). - Ibn al-Jawzī, ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. ʿAlī
(d. Baghdad, 597/1201), 33 citations.^12 - Ibn Abī ʿUmar, 33 citations.
- Ibn Munajjā, 28 citations.
- ʿIzz al-Dīn al-Maqdisī, 26 citations.
- Ibn al-Sarī al-Dujaylī, 22 citations.
- Abū al-Khaṭṭāb al-Kalwadhānī, 17 citations.
- Ibn Taymiyya, 15 citations.
- Al-Sāmarrī, 11 citations.
- Al-Zarkashī, 10 citations.
- Al-Ādamī, 10 citations.
- ʿAlāʾ al-Dīn b. al-Laḥḥām, ʿAlī b. Muḥammad
(d. Cairo, 803/1401), 10 citations.^13
The list is fairly similar to the list of those most cited in al-Inṣāf fī
maʿrifat al-rājiḥ as a whole. In this section of al-Inṣāf, there is just one
citation of Ibn al-Qayyim, as author of Badāʾiʿ al-fawāʾid (The Aston-
ishing Benefits) and Aḥkām ahl al-dhimma. Al-Mardāwī certainly
knew of Ibn al-Qayyim’s work and singles him out as Ibn Taymiyya’s
offers many more notes and occasionally a more careful reading of, apparently,
the same manuscript source.
