Belonging to the Ash`ari school, Ibn Abi Zayd al-Qayrawani (310–386) studied under Abu Bakr ibn {Abd al-Mu'min, who in turn was a student of Ibn Mujahid, a pupil of Abu al-Hasan al-Ash`ari. Qadi Iyad stated that in 368, Ibn Abi Zayd dispatched two of his pupils to personally deliver a few of his books to Ibn Mujahid, who had made a request for them, along with a complete authorization to narrate them (ijaza). Ibn Abi Zayd famously defended the Ash`ari school in his epistle entitled “Al-Radd `ala al-Qadariyya wa Munaqada Risala al-Baghdadi al-Mu`tazili,” a rejection of the assaults of the Mu`tazili `Ali ibn Isma`il al-Baghdadi. Al-Mayurqi further related that Ibn Abi Zayd said: “Al-Ash`ari is a man famous for refuting the people of Innovation, the Qadariyya and the Jahmiyya, and he held fast to the Sunan.”[4]
