ʾʾAbū al-Ḥasan b. Muḥammad b. ʿAlī aṭ-Ṭabarī (Arabic: أبو الحسن بن محمد بن علي الطبري), commonly known as Ilkiya al-Harrasi (Arabic: إلكيا الهراسي) was a prominent Shafi'i jurisconsult, legal theoretician, traditionist, scriptural exegete, preacher, orator, judge, and an Ash'arite theologian. He was an accomplished dialectician who was once regarded as among the foremost practitioners of disputation. He was the famous pupil of al-Juwayni and the class-mate of al-Ghazali.
