Sa'diyya, also known as Jibawiyya, is a Sufi tariqa and family lineage of Syrian and Shafi'i identity, founded by Sa'd al-Din al-Shaybani al-Jibawi, who died near Jiba, a few kilometers north of Damascus, in 1335. A branch of the Rifa'iyya order, it grew to prominence also in Ottoman Egypt, Turkey and the Balkans and remains active today.
