[1] Due to his family's scholarly background, he was educated in the religious sciences at an early age.
Eventually, Ibn Abi Asim left Basra for the city of Isfahan, further to the east.
According to Iranian historian Abu Nu`aym, Ibn Abi Asim was buried in Isfahan's Doshabaz cemetery.
[4] Ibn Abi Asim compiled numerous Prophetic traditions into two volumes, organized into chapters based on different theological and creed-related topics.
He had also written about the first-generation Muslim and Umayyad caliph, Mu'awiya,[2] though the work is now lost.
