Fatwa
Al-Salabi counts him the most learned of the Meccans in fatwa, and says that the Sacred Mosque was his place for twenty years. He says that the fatwa of the people of Mecca ended with him, and that in the Umayyad period it was proclaimed during the pilgrimage: "No one gives fatwa to the people but Ata." 1 2
With Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan
The book relates that he went in to Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan in his pilgrimage season and admonished him to fear God regarding the sons of the Muhajirun and the Ansar, the people of the frontiers and his subjects. 1
