Sirāj ud-Dīn Muhammad ibn Muhammad ibn 'Abd ur-Rashīd
Sajāwandī (Persian: محمد ابن محمد ابن عبدالرشید
سجاوندی) also known as Abū Tāhir Muhammad al-Sajāwandī al-Hanafī
(Arabic: ابی طاهر محمد السجاوندي الحنفي)
and the honorific Sirāj ud-Dīn (سراج الدین,
"lamp of the faith") (died c. 1203 CE or 600 AH) was a 12th-century
Hanafi scholar of Islamic inheritance jurisprudence, mathematics, astrology and
geography. He is primarily known for his work Kitāb al-Farāʼiḍ al-Sirājīyah
(Arabic:کتاب الفرائض السراجیه), commonly known
simply as "the Sirājīyah", which is a principal work on Hanafi
inheritance law. The work was translated into English by Sir William Jones in
1792 for subsequent use in the courts of British India. He was the grand-nephew
of qari Muhammad ibn Tayfour Sajawandi. He lies buried in the Ziārat-e Hazrat-o
'Āshiqān wa Ārifān in Sajawand.

ur-Rashīd ibn Tayfoūr refers to him being the "son of Muhammad son of 'Abd
ur-Rashīd son of Tayfour"). Sajāwandī is his nisbah meaning "from
