Aḥmad Paša al-Jazzār was an Ottoman governor (1775-1804) of Bosnian extraction, who was appointed to ʿAkkā [Acre] from Sidon (Ṣaydā) in 1776. He gave a copy of Humām Ṭabīb's Šarḥ al-Mulaḫḫaṣ to the Nūr Aḥmadiyya Madrasa in ʿAkkā, which was attached to the al-Jazzār Mosque (constructed in 1781 and named after him).
