Andalusia (Spain), Abu 'Abdullah Muhammad ibn Ahmad Abi Bakr ibn
Farah al-Qurtubi (died 671 Hijrah). He was a follower of the Maliki
school of fiqh and was known all over for his 'ibadah and piety. The

injunctions and rulings from the Qur'an yet, while doing so, he has

discussion of diacritical marks and elegance of style and composition, and
