Ibn al-Jawzī, in his book Shudhūr al-ʿUqūd, alleged that he died in 130 AH—a report that is exceedingly odd; the accepted view is the first one. Allah knows best.

[In the same year there died]
al-Rabīʿ ibn Sulaymān ibn ʿAbd al-Jabbār ibn Kāmil al-Murādī, their freedman, the Egyptian tutor, the principal transmitter of al-Shāfiʿī’s teachings and the last person to relate from him. He was a righteous man. Al-Shāfiʿī perceived in him—as he did in al-Buwayṭī, al-Muzanī, and Ibn ʿAbd al-Ḥakam—the signs of scholarship, and events unfolded exactly as he had foreseen. (May Allah have mercy on him.)

Among al-Rabīʿ’s verses are these:

Bear with fair patience—how quickly relief arrives;
Whoever trusts Allah in his affairs will be saved.
He who fears Allah will suffer no harm,
And he who hopes in Allah will find Him where he hoped.

As for al-Rabīʿ ibn Sulaymān ibn Dāwūd al-Jīzī, he too narrated from al-Shāfiʿī and died in 256 AH. Allah knows best.

[Then came the year 171 AH]
In it al-Rashīd conferred the state seal (khātam) upon Yaḥyā ibn Khālid in addition to the vizierate. In the same year al-Rashīd executed Abū Hurayra Muḥammad ibn Farrūkh, the deputy of al-Jazīra, by slow killing inside the Palace of al-Khuld while the caliph looked on. In it al-Faḍl ibn Saʿīd al-Ḥarūrī rebelled and was slain; Rawḥ ibn Ḥātim, governor of Ifrīqiya, arrived; and the Mother of the Commander of the Faithful, al-Khayzurān, set out for Mecca, remaining there until she attended the ḥajj. The man who led the people in pilgrimage that year was ʿAbd al-Ṣamad ibn ʿAlī ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAbbās, uncle of the caliphs—(may Allah have mercy on him) and honor him and accept from him.

[Then came the year 172 AH]
In it al-Rashīd lifted from the people of Iraq the tithe that had been taken from them after the first half. In that year he left Baghdad seeking another place to live, but matters became unsettled, so he returned. That year the pilgrimage was led by Yaʿqūb ibn Abī Jaʿfar al-Manṣūr, al-Rashīd’s uncle, and the summer expedition (ṣāʾifa) was commanded by Isḥāq ibn Sulaymān ibn ʿAlī.

[Then came the year 173 AH]
In it Muḥammad ibn Sulaymān died in Basra. Al-Rashīd ordered that precautions be taken regarding the assets suitable for the caliphs among his estates; they found an exceedingly large amount and seized it—gold, silver, and equipment useful for war,
