@Tayeb188: with regard to the Infobox that you created: the Encyclopedia of Islam mentions that he was born in a village near Qal'at Bani Hammad. Where did you get Hamza from? The same goes for the place of death that you added (which isn't mentioned in the source). M.Bitton (talk) 22:28, 2 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

I apologize for my mistake, you are right. He was born in the Qal'aa of Bani Hammad, though his family originated from the town of Hamza according to Al-Ghubrini. As for the place of death, Al-Zarkali mentioned in his book Al-A'lam, chapter 7, that Ibn Hammad moved from Sala and settled in Marrakesh, where he eventually passed away.[1] Tayeb188 (talk) 08:48, 5 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
