Abd al-Rahman ibn Ahmad Ibn Rajab (736–795 AH / 1335–1393) explained the Forty Nawawiyyah, wrote Jami' al-ulum wa al-hikam, and left Hanbali tabaqat and hadith works.

He combined Ahmad’s fiqh with the Athari creed of Ibn Taymiyyah’s circle, in a tone of zuhd that later Salafi advice lessons still read.
