Abū Marwān ʿAbd al-Malik ibn Ḥabīb al-Sulami (Arabic: أبو مروان عبدالملك بن حبيب السلمي) (180–238 AH) (796–853 AD) also known as Ibn Habib, was a Andalusian polymath of the 9th century.
[2] Ibn Habib was born in Hisn Wāt (identified with modern-day town of Huetor Vega) a village near the city of Granada in the year 790.
He claimed descent from the Arab tribe of Banu Sulaym, hence he took the nisba al-Sulami.
[2] In the year 822/3, Ibn Habib went on to perform the Hajj to Mecca with the financial support of his father.
Ibn Habib died after an illness in 853[2] and was buried in the Umm Salama cemetery in Cordoba.
