Abu Imran Musa ibn Isa ibn Abi 'l-Hajj (or Hajjaj) al-Fasi ( Arabic: أبو عمران موسى بن عيسى بن أبي الحاج الفاسي) (also simply known as Abu 'Imran al-Fasi; born between 975 and 978, died 8 June 1039) was a Moroccan Maliki faqīh born at Fez to a Berber [4] or Arab [5] family whose nisba is impossible to reconstruct.
Abu ‘Imran al-Fasi was probably born between 975 and 978 at Fes. He went to Ifriqiya, where he settled in Kairouan and studied under al-Kabisi (died 1012). [6] With al-Kabisi, he introduced the young Ibn Sharaf to poetry. [7] Some time later, he stayed in Cordova with Ibn ‘Abd al-Barr and followed the lectures of various scholars there, which his biographers list. [6] He is regarded a saint by later Sufi mystics. He played an important role in the history of the Almoravid dynasty. It was his teaching in Qayrawan ( Tunisia) that first stirred Yahya ibn Ibrahim, who was returning from the Pilgrimage and attended Abu ‘Imran's courses. This inspired the foundation of the Almoravids. [4] [8] He wrote a commentary on the Mudawana of Sahnun.
Qadi Ayyad (d.544/1129), author of the Kitab Shifa bitarif huquq al-Mustapha (The Antidote in knowing the rights of the Chosen Prophet), hagiographied Abu ‘Imran al-Fasi in his Tadrib a-Madarik (Exercising Perception), an encyclopaedia of Maliki scholars.
