Mujir el-din Al-Hanbali was born in Jerusalem in 860H/1455AD. He was the Hanbali judge in Jerusalem, Hebron, Ramla, and Nablus. His father was also the Hanbali Mufti in a number of Palestinian cities. He memorized the whole of the Quran before he was ten. He studied the Hadith and was granted the Ijaza in the Hadith when he was eleven. He was taught by the sheiks of his time in Al-Aqsa Mosque and Al-Salahiyya and also in Cairo. His most renowned work is his famous book "Al-Uns Al-Jalil fi Tarikh Al-Quds wal Khalil," the History of Jerusalem and Hebron. Some historians say his grave is in Ma'manullah cemetery, while others say it is in the eastern part of Al-Asbat cemetery next to the Gethsemane and St. Mary's church. When the road was broadened in 1942, the grave was removed to a nearby location, and it was covered by a dome. The northern wall of the dome was inscribed with the date of his death as well as his name.
