Abū al-Walid Muḥammad (d. ca. 1048), son and pupil.
Abū Bakr az-Zubaydī (أبو بكر الزبيدي), also known as Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥasan ibn ‘Abd Allāh ibn Madḥīj al-Faqīh and Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥasan az-Zubaydī al-Ishbīlī (محمد بن الحسن الزبيدي الإشبيلي), held the title Akhbār al-fuquhā[1] and wrote books on topics including philology, biography, history, philosophy, law, lexicology, and hadith.
Life
Az-Zubaydī was a native of
Seville,
al-Andalus (present-day
Spain), whose ancestor, Bishr ad-Dākhil ibn Ḥazm of
Yemeni origin, had come with the Umayyads to al-Andalus from
Ḥimṣ in the
Levant (
Syria).[citation needed] Az-Zubaydī moved to
Córdoba, the seat of the
Umayyad Caliphate, to study under
Abū ‘Alī al-Qālī. His scholarship on the philologist
Sībawayh’s grammar, Al-Kitāb, led to his appointment as tutor to the son of the
humanist caliph
Ḥakam II, the crown prince
Hishām II.[citation needed] At the Caliph’s encouragement, az-Zubaydī composed many books on philology, and biographies of philologists and lexicographers. He became
qāḍī of Seville, where he died in 989.[citation needed]
