Muhammad ibn Ibrahim al-Khazraji explained
Muḥammad ibn Ibrāhīm al-Khazrajī (died 1258 AD),[1] also known as Ibn al-Khazrajī, was an Arab scholar and historian of the late Ayyubid period. A member of the Banū Khazraj and a native of Tlemcen, he taught ḥadīth in Alexandria. His work, which survives only in part, is based largely on that of Sibt ibn al-Jawzi. It is known by the title Taʾrīkh al-Dawlat al-Akrād wal-Atrāk ("History of the Kurdish and Turkish Empire"). It is arranged on a year-by-year basis and in each year a prominent jurist, poet or similar who died that year is celebrated with anecdotes.[2] In its independent passages, it is a valuable source of Ayyubid history. It can be found in the manuscript Süleymaniye Kütüphanesi, MS Hekimoğlu Ali Paşa 695.
