Abu'l-Hasan Muhammad ibn al-Hasan ibn Abdallah ibn Ali ibn Muhammad ibn Abd al-Malik ibn Abi'l-Shawarib ( Arabic: محمد بن الحسن بن أبي الشوارب) was a 10th-century Muslim jurist who served as chief qadi of Baghdad.
Born in 904/5, [1] Muhammad belonged to the Banu Abi'l-Shawarib family of the Banu Umayyad clan, a Hanafi legal family that in the 9th and 11th centuries produced 24 qadis, including eight chief qadis, for the Abbasid caliphs. [2] Muhammad was named chief qadi of the City of al-Mansur and of Sharqiya (West Baghdad, where the caliphal palaces were located) by caliph al-Mustakfi in September 944, shortly after his accession. At the same time, his brother Abdallah ibn Abi al-Shawarib served as qadi of East Baghdad. [3] Muhammad was deposed and arrested on 16 September 945, as part of the caliph's purge of corrupt judges. [4]
When al-Muti became caliph in January 946, he was recalled to office, as qadi of Sharqiya, the Two Holy Cities ( Mecca and Medina), Yemen, Egypt, part of Syria, and the Iraqi provinces of Saqi al-Furat, Wasit and Samarra. [3] He was dismissed again in January/February 947, and died in November/December 958. [3]
His brother Abdallah served as chief qadi in 961–963. [5]
