[His Death]
Ibn Jarīr died on Sunday evening, with two days remaining of Shawwāl in 310 AH. He had exceeded the age of eighty by five or six years and was buried in Rahbat Yaqub in Baghdad. Many men of religion and letters composed elegies for him. Ibn al-Arābī (5) said:
A dreadful event, a calamity grave …
too great for even the steadfast to bear.
