Jamāl al-Dīn b. 'Abd Allāh al-Baḥrānī (Arabic: جمال الدین بن عبدالله البحراني), commonly known as Ibn Mutawwaj (Arabic: ابن المتوّج), was a prominent Imami scholar of the 8th/14th and 9th/15th centuries. Originating from Awal in the islands of Bahrain, he is referred to in some sources by the honorifics Fakhr al-Dīn[1] and Shihāb al-Dīn.[2]

Primary biographical information regarding Ibn Mutawwaj is derived from the works of al-Māḥūzī,[3] supplemented by accounts from Ibn Abi Jumhur al-Ahsa'i[4] and al-Hurr al-'Amili.[5]

Biography

Ibn Mutawwaj traveled to Iraq to pursue higher Islamic studies, settling in Hillah, where he attended the circles of renowned scholars, including Fakhr al-Muhaqqiqin. Upon receiving his licenses (ijāza), he returned to Bahrain.[6] There, he assumed the role of a judge and managed hisbiyya affairs until his passing.

While his exact date of death is not definitively recorded, a manuscript attributed to his son, Nāṣir, suggests he died around 820/1417.[7] He was buried on Ukl Island.[8]

Scholarly Status

Historians regard Ibn Mutawwaj as a distinguished jurist[9] whose religious verdicts (fatwas) garnered fame even in distant regions.[10] notable scholars such as Ahmad b. Fahd al-Ahsa'i, Fakhr al-Dīn al-Subay'ī, and Aḥmad b. Madh-ham studied under him and transmitted hadith on his authority.[11]

Works

Al-Māḥūzī[12] and Afandī[13] attribute numerous works to Ibn Mutawwaj. His most famous extant work is al-Nasikh wa l-mansukh,[14] which the author stated was extracted from his own larger exegesis of the Qur'an.[15] A commentary on this treatise by 'Abd al-Jalīl Ḥusaynī Qārī, corrected and translated by Muḥammad Ja'far Islāmī, was published in Tehran in 1965.

Other surviving manuscripts include:

  • Ghara'ib al-masa'il[16]
  • Kifayat al-talibin[17] (also known as Hidayat al-mustabsirin or Ma yajib 'ala l-mukallaf).[18]
  • Minhaj al-hidaya fi tafsir ayat al-ahkam al-khamsumi'a (A copy was documented by Agha Buzurg Tihrani in a private library).[19]
  • Wasilat al-qasid fi fath mu'dilat al-qawa'id (A commentary on Qawa'id al-ahkam by Al-Allama al-Hilli).[20]
  • al-Tharat (or Qisas al-thar): A poem focusing on Shi'a elegies and epics, beginning with the line: "Aliyyun haramun an aladh-dha bi-mat'ami".
  • Hirz-i Manzum[21]
