Ibn al-Shihna

Abu al-WalÄ«d Ibn al-Shihna (Lisān ad-DÄ«n ʾAbÅ«'l-WalÄ«d Muḥammad ibn KamāladdÄ«n Muḥammad ibn aÅ¡-Å iḥna al-HalabÄ« al-ḤanafÄ«, 1348–1412; AH 749–815) was a Mamluk-era Syrian Hanafi scholar and historian.

His Rawḍ al-manāẓir fī ʿilm al-awāʾil wa l-awāẖir ("Garden of the spectacles of the history of antiquity and modernity") details the talks he held with Timur as the representative of the scholars of Aleppo after Timur's conquest of Aleppo in 1400.

His son Muḥibb ad-DÄ«n ʾAbÅ« al-Fadl Muḥammad Ibn aÅ¡-Å iḥna al-HalabÄ« (1402–1485) was the chief judge of Aleppo for the Hanafi school of law.
