Najm al-Dīn Abū l-ʿAbbās Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn al-Rifʿa (Arabic: ابن الرفعة), commonly known as Ibn al-Rif'ah was regarded as the leading Shafi'i jurist in Mamluk Egypt. He was praised by a number of people for his unparalleled expertise in Fiqh and Hadith. He is known mainly for his commentaries on earlier works of law.[2][3] Ibn Taymiyyah said: “I saw an old man with Shafi’i jurisprudence dripping from his beard” indicting his sea of knowledge and deep-mastery in the Shafi'i school of thought.[4] Ibn al-Rif'ah's most famous teacher was Ibn Daqiq al-'Id and his most famous student was Taqi al-Din al-Subki.[3]
