Ibn Barrajan

Abu-l-Hakam Abd al-Salam ibn Abd al-Rahman ibn Mohammad ibn Barrajan (Arabic: عبد السلام بن عبد الرحمن بن محمد بن برجان) (born in Seville where he lived, he died in Marrakesh 1141) was one of the greatest Sufi figures of Al-Andalus and a hadith scholar. He spread his teachings in the first half of the 12th century. He wrote a two-volume commentary on the names of Allah, a famous tafseer, and Ida al-hikma (unedited). His writings had a great influence on Ibn Arabi.

He died in prison in Marrakesh, when he was summoned to that city by the Almoravid sultan who feared his influence. Against the wishes of the sultan he received an official burial on the initiative of Ibn Harzihim.
