About
Shaykh Shihab al-Din Ahmad al-Sajai rahimahullah (d. 1197 AH / 1783 CE) was an Egyptian Shafi'i grammarian and scholar of al-Azhar, known for his prolific output of commentaries on the classical Arabic linguistic and devotional canon. His principal work is a hashiya in five volumes on Ibn Aqil's commentary on the Alfiyya of Ibn Malik - the three texts together (the Alfiyya, Ibn Aqil's commentary, and al-Sajai's supercommentary) forming one of the most widely used stacks in advanced Arabic grammatical study. Beyond this major hashiya, he composed a commentary on the Wazifa Zarruqiyya of Imam Ahmad Zarruq, which continues to be used in Egyptian Shadhili devotional circles. His work exemplifies the tradition of Azhari scholarly production in the twelfth century AH, bridging the linguistic sciences with devotional literature.
