Ibn Inabah passed away in the city of Kerman in Iran in the month of Safar 828 AH - January 1425 AD/CE at the age of 77.
According to his autobiography, his lineage reaches back to Ali ibn Abi Talib (the first Shia Imam) through 20 intermediaries.
[12] "Inabah Akbar" (in Arabic: عنبه اکبر) was the ancestor of a tribe of "Bani al-Hassan" (children and grandchildren of Hasan ibn Ali, the second Shia Imam) nobles who lived in Iraq, around Hillah city.

[18] Some have considered Ibn Inabah a Zaydi (one of the three main branches[19] of Shia Islam),[18] because his expressions and his references confirm that he was a member of Zaydism sect.
