Abu al-Hasan Ali ibn Muhammad ibn Abd al-Haqq al-Yalisuti az-Zarwili (Arabic: أبو الحسن الصغير) known as al-Sughayyir (died 1319 in Fez) was a qadi of Taza and later qadi of Fez.[1] He was of Berber origin.[2] Al-Zarwili wrote a commentary of 12 volumes (Sharh al-Mudawwana) on the Mudawwana by Sahnun ibn Said and was considered a "qutb" (axis of his age) by his contemporaries.[2]
