He wrote many highly influential works on the subjects of the the [[Qur'an]], history, [[fiqh]], and [[hadith]] which have come down to us. A native of the Tabaristan region of Persia, he was most likely of Persian ethnicity but wrote in Arabic. A child prodigy, he is said to have memorized the Qur'an by the age of 7, led prayers by 8 and wrote down hadith at 9, and left his home at 12 "in pursuit of knowledge" id est as a student. He travelled widely in the Middle East, returning to Baghdad around 870 to write his books and pass on his knowledge to students. His tafsir is considered authoritative to this day, and in his Taarikh al-muluuk wal rasuul he preserves large portions of of the maghaazi of [[ibn Ishaq]] which otherwise would have been lost to us.
