Ibn Jurayj (699–767)

Born 699 CE, died 767 CE.

ʿAbd al-Malik ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn Jurayj al-Rūmī al-Umawī al-Qurashī al-Makkī (Arabic: عبد الملك بن عبد العزيز بن جريج الرومي الأموي القرشي المكي, 80 AH/699 CE - 150 AH/767 CE) commonly known as Ibn Jurayj ([/ʔibn ʒuˈrajʒ/]) was an eighth-century tabi'i faqīh, exegete and transmitter of hadith. A student of early Meccan jurist Ata ibn Abi Rabah, Ibn Jurayj became a scholar in his own right and served as the mufti of Mecca under the Umayyads. He composed works on Quranic exegesis and the rites of pilgrimage, and his compilation of hadith, Kitab al-Sunan, was a founding work of the musannaf genre. Though lost, much of the latter was preserved in the musannaf of his student Abd al-Razzaq al-San'ani, who cites Ibn Jurayj as an informant in approximately one-third of the traditions transmitted.
