Abū al-Ḥasan ʿAlī ibn Muḥammad ibn Muḥammad ash-Shaybānī, better known as ʿAlī ʿIzz ad-Dīn Ibn al-Athīr al-Jazarī (Arabic: علي عز الدین بن الاثیر الجزري; 1160–1233) was a Hadith expert, historian, and biographer who wrote in Arabic and was from the Ibn Athir family.[5] At the age of twenty-one he settled with his father in Mosul to continue his studies, where he devoted himself to the study of history and Islamic tradition.
Ibn al-Athir belonged to the Shayban lineage[6] of the large and influential Arab tribe Banu Bakr,[7][8] who lived across upper Mesopotamia, and gave their name to the city of Diyar Bakr.[9][10][11] He is also described to have been of Kurdish origin.[12]
He was the brother of Majd ad-Dīn and Diyā' ad-Dīn Ibn Athir. Al-Athir lived a scholarly life in Mosul, often visited Baghdad and for a time traveled with Saladin's army in Syria. He later lived in Aleppo and Damascus. His chief work was a history of the world, al-Kamil fi at-Tarikh (The Complete History).
Ibn al-Athir died in 1232/1233, and was buried in a cemetery in Mosul, at the district of Bab Sinjar.[13] His tomb was built in the 20th century and was located in the middle of a road, after the cemetery was cleared for modernization.[14] It became a site of an erroneous legend, which identified it as a tomb of a female mystic.[15] However, the government later installed a marble stele to indicate that it was Ibn al-Athir's tomb.[16][17] His tomb was also regarded in local Yazidi folklore as being the grave of a girl who married the Emir of Mosul but died of poisoning.[18]
The tomb of Ibn al-Athir was bulldozed by members of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in June 2014.[19]
'Ali ibn al-Athir 106 The Sunni historian and Ash'ari theologian Abū al-Hasan 'Izz al-Dīn 'Alī ibn Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Karīm ibn 'Abd al-Wāhid al-Jazarī al-Shaybānī was born in Cizre (Turkey) in 555/1160 and was of Arab descent.
