Abū ʿAbdillāh Muḥammad b. ʿAlī b. Muḥammad b. Jārūd al-Marānī. He was a Shāfiʿī faqīh (jurist). He was among the virtuous people. He was appointed as the qāḍī (judge) of ʿIrbīl. He was a refined and witty person. He was one of the beauties of his time. He has highly elevated poetry containing subtle meanings. One of his poems is as follows:

Do not act defectively towards the religion of your Lord. Do not let long hope deceive you.”
