He died in Muḥarram of the year 473 AH in Damascus.

280 – Ibn al-ʿAjūz, Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Katāmī
The Mālikī shaykh Abū ʿAbd Allah Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥīm ibn Aḥmad ibn al-ʿAjūz al-Katāmī, the leading scholar of Ceuta and the son of its celebrated savant Abū al-Qāsim ⦗1⦘, who died in 449 AH.

He met Abū Isḥāq al-Tūnsī in Kairouan, and reliance for legal verdicts rested on him and on Ibn al-Bariyyā. Ill-feeling arose between the two, and an inquisition broke out over a remark Abū ʿAbd Allah had made. While the preacher was reciting the verse, “And prepare for them whatever force you can muster” (Q 8:60), he read “…whatever equipment…” (ʿiddah) in place of “force” (quwwah). Abū ʿAbd Allah commented, “The metre is the same.” They therefore pronounced him an unbeliever, issued a ruling that he be pressed to repent, and imprisoned him. After his release he travelled to Fez; Ibn Tāshfīn honoured him and appointed him judge of the city.

A number of students studied jurisprudence under him.

He died in 474 AH.

He was the father of the distinguished scholars ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, ʿAbd Allah, and ʿAbd al-Raḥīm.

281 – al-Tafakkurī, Yūsuf ibn al-Ḥasan ibn Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥasan
The imam, exemplar, ascetic, and meticulous ḥadith scholar Abū al-Qāsim Yūsuf ibn al-Ḥasan ibn Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥasan al-Tafakkurī al-Zanjānī.
