Having studied medicine under the Jewish physicianHibat Allah ibn Jami, and underAbu al-Fafa'il ibn Naqid, he became thecourt physician of the sultanal-Malik al-'Adil Abu Bakr ibn Ayyub, the brother and successor ofSaladin. He was also chief professor at theal-Nasiri Hospital at Cairo, where he had a great many pupils, among them being the historianIbn Abi Usaibiyyah.
