Al-Qadi Abd al-Jabbar
Abu al-Hasan ʿAbd al-Jabbar ibn Ahmad ibn Khalil ibn ʿAbdallah al-Hamadani al-Asadabadi (935 CE – 1025 CE) was a Persian Mu'tazili theologian, jurist and hadith scholar who is remembered as the Qadi al-Qudat (Chief Magistrate) of the Buyid dynasty, and a reported follower of the Shafi‘i school. Abd al-Jabbar means "Servant of al-Jabbar (the Almighty)." According to Ibn al-Subki, the Mu'tazila call him "Qadi al-Qudat" (قاضي القضاة) and do not give this title to anyone else.
