Overview
Abu Muhammad Abd Allah ibn Ibrahim al-Asili, an Andalusian hadith scholar, Maliki jurist and judge, described by the source as one of the great men of hadith and jurisprudence. He grew up in Asila near Tangier and then returned to al-Andalus. He was born around 324 AH (936 CE) and died around 392 AH (1002 CE). Both dates rest on one source and need an additional source. 1
