Shams al-Din Abu al-Muzaffar Yusuf ibn Kizoghlu (c. 581AH/1185–654AH/1256),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.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
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
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]
