Summary
Abu Bakr Muhammad b. 'Umar b. 'Abd al-'Aziz b. Ibrahim b. 'Isa b. Muzahim, known as Ibn al-Qutiyya; Sevillan by origin, Cordoban by birth and home, he heard at Seville and Cordoba — among his contemporaries' most learned in Arabic, and with that a memoriser of hadith, fiqh, report and rarity, the most transmitting of poetry and most discerning of traditions. 1
His domain
Master of al-Andalus's news and people, the siras of its amirs and the states of its jurists and poets; he authored Tasarif al-af'al which opened this door — Ibn al-Qatta' came after and followed; with all his merits he was among the devout worshippers and a good poet. 1
