Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn ʿAjība al-Ḥasanī (Arabic:أحمد بن عجيبة; 1747–1809) was an influential 18th-centuryMoroccan scholar and poet in theSunniDarqawa Sufi lineage.
He was born of asharif family in theAnjra tribe that ranges fromTangiers toTetuan along theMediterranean coast of Morocco. As a child he developed a love of knowledge, memorizing theQur'an and studying subjects ranging from ClassicalArabic grammar, religious ethics,poetry, Qur'anic recitation andtafsir. When he reached the age of eighteen, he left home and undertook the study of exoteric knowledge inQasr al-Kabir under the supervision of Sidi Muhammad al-Susi al-Samlali. It was here that he was introduced to studies in the sciences, art, philosophy, law and Qur'anic exegesis in depth. He went toFes to study withMohammed al-Tawudi ibn Suda,Bennani, andEl-Warzazi, and joined the newDarqawiyya in 1208 AH (1793), of which he was the representative in the northern part of theJbala region. He spent nearly his entire life in and around Tetuan, and died of theplague in 1224 AH (1809). He is the author of over thirty works, including an autobiography, al-Fahrasa, which provides interesting information concerning the intellectual center that Tetuan had become by the beginning of the 19th century.
