Overview
Abu Sa'id Sinan ibn Thabit ibn Qurra al-Harrani, a senior physician, mentioned by Ibn al-Nadim. The Caliph al-Qahir wanted to make him a Muslim, and he fled. Later he converted to Islam, and feared al-Qahir, so he went to Khurasan and then came back. He died in Baghdad a Muslim, at the beginning of Dhu al-Hijja in the year 331 AH 2.
