He was nephew of Aishah bint Abi Bakr [1].
[edit] Biography
He learned hadith and fiqh from his aunt and from Ibn Abbas. He was a transmitter of hadith and criticised the use of a hadith if its text was put before the Quran and established Sunnah [1].
He was among "the seven fuqaha' of Medina" [1] who were largely responsible for the transmission of knowledge from Medina and were the source of much of the information of Islam and the Sunnah available today.
[edit] Legacy
His famous student, Abu'z-Zinad 'Abdullah ibn Dhakwan said about him [1]:
-
- "I never saw a faqih with more knowledge than al-Qasim. I never saw anyone who had more knowledge of the Sunna than him."
The Sunni Imam Malik related that Umar Ibn Abdul-Aziz said [1]:
-
- "If I had authority in the matter, I would appoint the blind one of Banu Taym," meaning al-Qasim ibn Muhammad.
