[edit] Albulassim = Abu al-Qasim al-Zahrawi ?

It seems to be the same than Abu al-Qasim al-Zahrawi (936 - 1013), even if the births don't match. Precise birth and death of Abu al-Qasim are not sure and he is also famous to have found some internal medical examinations. TCY 13:10, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

I think you're right. I can't find much on Albulassim that would indicate that he's a different person. Furthermore, in some dialects the Qaaf is silent, which would change Abu al-Qasim into Abu al'asim and, with the merging of the letters when spoken (certain letters are absorbed in speech), becomes Abu lassim. It's almost certain that these two people are the same. No response with the message that you left on the user's talk page means that I'm going to turn Abulassim's into a redirect.
