Ibn al-Wazir

Muḥammad bin Ibrāhīm Ibn al-Wazīr was a Muslim Hadith scholar. He wrote a rebuttal of the Shi'ite Jafari school and then penned a massive defense of the Prophet's Sunna as understood through Prophetic hadith. His creed has been a matter of historical and scholarly debate. According to Yāsir Qadhi, Ibn al-Wazīr was originally a Zaydi but later converted to Sunni Islam—a claim that reflects the specific perspective of the cited author rather than an uncontested fact.
