His home city, Córdoba, fell to Castile. He moved to Egypt, lived as a stranger, and wrote a tafsir of legal rulings that is still read throughout the world — on the condition of attributing every view to the one who held it.

“Indeed, We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], the Book in truth so you may judge between the people by that which Allah has shown you. And do not be for the deceitful an advocate.”
