@article{2018,title={Abu al-Valid Ibn al-Shihna, One of The Mamluk Period Scholars, and His Relation to Timur},abstractNode={Abu al-Valīd Ibn al-Shihna (749-815 / 1348-1412), who was born and grew up in Aleppo during the Mamluks period, conveyed the information he collected from the teachers in cities such as Aleppo, Damascus and Cairo. He was one of the esteemed Hanafi scholars of his time. Ibn al- Shihna is a historian at the same time due to its historical record in addition to its scientific direction. Another feature that distinguishes him from other scholars is the activities on the political scene. He sometimes voluntarily disagreed with the reluctance among the Mamluk emirs sometimes voluntarily. He is also an important person in talks with the scholars when Timur invaded Aleppo. all this shows that he is in a different position among scholars. As a matter of fact, Ibn al-Shihna has responded to the questions asked as the representative of Aleppo scholars and he details the interviews with Timur in his book Ravzü'l-menâzir. These records are important in terms of Timur's discussion with scholars, which has been discussed for centuries in relation to the conception of conquest and management and Islamic religion. As a matter of fact, there are very few resources that convey this fact. Zafernâmes of Yazdî and Shâmî, which have been the subject of Timur's life, have never conveyed this tradition and Ibn Arabshah, known as the enemy of Timur, conveys the tradition from Ibn al-Shihna. Hence, Ravzü'l-menazir is the first and most important source of the transfer of this interview. As Timur did in other cities he had conquered, he asked some questions to the Aleppo scholars. There are three main issues that he has put up here. The first question is that those killed by the two sides who fought (Aleppo and Timur's troops) reached the martyrdom. The second question is the situation of Hz. Ali, Muaviya and Yazid. The third question is whether or not it is permissible to curse Muaviya and Yazid.},author={Esra ATMACA},year={2018},journal={Journal of Turkish Studies}}
