موجز

عبد الله بن ذكوان أبو الزناد، من فقهاء المدينة في الطبقة الثالثة، وأبوه ذكوان أخو أبي لؤلؤة. 1

ذكر الشيرازي أنه وفد على هشام بن عبد الملك بحساب ديوان المدينة، وأن مالكاً أخذ عنه الفقه. وعند ابن النديم أن له كتاب الفرائض وكتاب رأي الفقهاء السبعة من أهل المدينة وما اختلفوا فيه. 1

وفاته سنة 130هـ بحسب الشيرازي 2، بينما يذكر نص ابن النديم وفاة ابنه عبد الرحمن ببغداد سنة 174هـ؛ فيحتاج الأمر إلى مراجعة مصدر إضافي.
