Overview
Al-Rabi' ibn Ziyad al-Bakri al-Khurasani al-Marwazi al-Basri, a man of the second century AH. Ibn Sa'd mentions him in the "Classes of the People of Basra and Baghdad". 1
Death
The encyclopaedia gives his death as 139 AH. The data note that the Hijri year does not match the printed Gregorian year (759 CE) in all likelihood, so the conversion is not relied on. 1
His life and transmissions need an additional source.
