Shams al-Din Abu al-Muzaffar Yusuf ibn Kizoghlu (c. 581AH/1185–654AH/1256),[1] popularly known as Sibṭ ibn al-Jawzī (Arabic: سبط ابن الجوزي ‎‎) was a writer, preacher and historian.[2]

Biography

Born in Baghdad, the son of a Turkish freedman and Ibn al-Jawzi's daughter, he was raised by his grandfather.[1] After his grandfather's death he moved to Damascus, where he worked under the Ayyubids Sultans al-Mu'azzam, an-Nasir Dawud, and al-Ashraf.[3] In 1229, on an-Nasir's command, he gave a fiery sermon in the Umayyad Mosque denouncing the treaty of Jaffa with the Crusaders as Damascus prepared for the coming siege at the hands of al-Ashraf.[4]

He is the grandson of the Hanbali scholar Abul-Faraj Ibn Al-Jawzi. His title "Sibt ibn al-Jawzi" denotes that he was the sibṭ (grandson) of Ibn al-Jawzi from his daughter's side.[citation needed]

Unlike his Hanbali grandfather, he was of the Hanafi madhhab, which was the judicial school common to those of Turkish descent and preferred by the Ayyubid Sultans.[1] He has also been described as having Shia tendencies, most notably by al-Dhahabi.[3] His historical writings, which include more critical accounts of Uthman compared to other sources, and Ibn Kathir's obituary of him have been given as evidence supporting this.[3]

He was Arab historian.[5]
