Al-Shihna's mausoleum located northeast of Madrasa al-Firdaws. There are several mausoleums in that area outside the city wall built during the Mamluk period. A clear indication of the Mamluks' features can be seen on the facade.
A number of scholars come from Al-Shihna family such as Muhib al-Din, Ibn al-Shihna al-Halabi ( 749 - 815 / 1348 - 1412 AH), who served a number of times as a judge in Aleppo and also served as a judge in Damascus and Cairo. Another scholar from the family, Abi al-Fadel, Ibn al-Shihna al-Halabi (1402-1485 / 804-890 AH) is known for his book al-Durr al-Muntakhab fi Tarikh Mamlakit Halab.
