Jamma'il (Nablus)

Jamma'il (Jamma'in) is a village in the hills near Nablus, in the West Bank, Palestine. It is the birthplace of the major Hanbali jurist and theologian Ibn Qudama al-Maqdisi (d. 1223), author of al-Mughni; his family migrated from Jamma'il to Damascus during the Crusader period, founding the Hanbali community of the Salihiyya quarter.
