Life
Al-Baji was born in Beja on 28 May 1013 to a family from Badajoz. The family later relocated to Córdoba, where he received his primary education. At the age of 23, he went east to continue his studies. He remained there for thirteen years, three in Mecca studying under AbÅ« Dharr al-HarawÄ«. After a period in Baghdad under AbÅ« l-Ṭayyib al-ṬabarÄ« and AbÅ« IsḥÄq al-ShÄ«rÄzÄ«, he spent a year in Mosul under AbÅ« JaÊ¿far al SimnÄnÄ«, possibly studying kalÄm. He may also have visited Aleppo, Damascus and Egypt. He worked at various times as a watchman and a goldsmith to support himself.During these intense travels, he took hadith from al-Khatib al-Baghdadi, Ibn 'Abd al-Barr, Abu al-Isba` ibn Shakir, Muhammad ibn Isma`il [?], Abu Muhammad Makki ibn Abi Talib, al-Qadi Yunus ibn `Abd Allah ibn Mughith, Ibn al-Mutawwa`i, Ibn Muhriz, Ibn al-Warraq, Ibn `Amrus, al-Damighani, and others. Both al-Khatib and Ibn `Abd al-Barr, although his seniors, narrated from him. Among his pupils are his son Ahmad, Abu `Abd Allah al-Humaydi, `Ali ibn `Abd Allah al-Saqali, Ahmad ibn Ghazlun, Abu Bakr al-Turtushi, the two hadith masters Abu `Ali al-Jiyani al-Sadafi and Abu al-Qasim al-Ma`afiri, Ibn Abi Ja`far, al-Qadi Abu `Abd Allah Muhammad ibn `Abd al-Rahman ibn Bashir, and many others.After he returned to Andalusia in 1047 and assumed the role of leading scholar and teacher there, his fortune increased significantly. A-Baji was thrust into the spotlight as soon as he had returned to home. In a disputation in Majorca in 1048, he bested Ibn Ḥazm, leading to the latter's exile from the island. Ibn Hazm reportedly said: "If the Malikis had only `Abd al-Wahhab [ibn `Ali ibn Nasr al-Baghdadi] and al-Baji, it would suffice them." He spent time in Murcia, Dénia, Orihuela, Valencia and Lleida before settling in Zaragoza after the defeat of the crusade of Barbastro in 1065. His most productive years were those in Zaragoza under the patronage of Aḥmad al-Muqtadir. He died in AlmerÃa on 21 December 1081.{{citation |author=Amalia Zomeño |chapter=Al-BÄjÄ« |title=ChristianâMuslim Relations: A Bibliographical History |volume=3 (1050â1200) |editor1=David Thomas |editor2=Alex Mallett |editor3=Juan Pedro Monferrer Sala |editor4=Johannes Pahlitzsch |editor5=Mark Swanson |editor6=Herman Teule |editor7=John Tolan |year=2011 |publisher=Brill |location=Leiden |pages=172â175 |doi=10.1163/ej.9789004195158.i-804.85}}.Works
