Ibn Abī Zayd (Template:Lang-ar) (922–996), fully Abū Muḥammad ʿAbd Allāh ibn Abī Zayd ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Nafzawī ibn Abī Zayd al-Qayrawanī,[2] was a Maliki scholar from Kairouan in Tunisia and was also an active proponent of Athari thought.[1][3][4] His best known work is Al-Risala or the Epistle, an instructional book devoted to the education of young children. He was a member of the Nafzawah Berber tribe and lived in Kairouan. In addition, he served as the Imam (spiritual leader) of one of the mosques' that followed the Maliki School tradition. Based on what he wrote in his Risalah regarding creed, there was many alignments with the Athari creed, as he himself makes his position clear in his Risala.
