Jabir ibn Zayd al-Azdi

Jabir ibn Zayd al-Azdi, a client of the Azd, from Basra, known by the kunya Abu al-Sha'tha'. Al-Mas'udi counts him among the scholars who died in the days of Yazid ibn Abd al-Malik. ²

The date of his death is disputed. Al-Shirazi says that he died in 103 AH, and it is also said 93 AH; the word "it is said" marks doubt. The Gregorian equivalent is derived from the Hijri date. ³
