Overview
Al-Dahhak ibn Muzahim al-Hilali, the Qur'an commentator of Khurasan. He met Sa'id ibn Jubayr in al-Rayy and wrote down the commentary from him. 1
The book says that he was among the scholars whom Abd al-Malik chose to educate his son Yazid before the caliphate. 1
Death
Accounts of his death differ. The editor's note quotes Ibn Qutayba as saying that he came to Khurasan, settled there and died in 102 AH. The Gregorian conversion (about 721 CE) is derived. 2
