Extract

Ibrāhīm b. Ḥasan al-Kurānī al-Shahrazūrī al-Shahrānī belonged to the Shāfi‘ī madhhab and was a ṣūfī in the Naqshabandī order. Muḥammad Khalīl al-Murādī in his Silk al-Durarft a‘yān al-Qarn al-thānī ‘ashar (Bulaq 1301/1883, I, 5 f.), states that he was born in 1025/1616 and died in 1101/1697 in Medina. He studied under the best scholars of his day in Damascus, Cairo, and Medina where he finally settled down. His fame spread and pupils came to him from distant lands to attend his lectures in the prophet's mosque. He was the author of more than 100 books and treatises. The Garrett Collection of the Library of Princeton University contains manuscripts of several of them, one being an autograph. The names of many of these will be found in the Silk loc. cit., Brockelmann, GAL, G. n, 505 and S. II, 520, and Ismā‘īl Pasha al- Baghdādī's Dhayl to Ḥājjī Khalīfa, Istanbul, 1951, I, 35 f.
