Brief facts about jahiz:
Abū ʿUthman ʿAmr ibn Baḥr al-Kinānī al-Baṣrī, commonly known as al-Jāḥiẓ was a prose writer and author of works of literature, theology, zoology, and politico-religious polemics. He described himself as a member of the Arabian tribe Banu Kinanah. He has been credited with describing certain principles related to natural selection. Ibn al-Nadim lists nearly 140 titles attributed to Al-Jahiz, of which 75 are extant. The best known are Kitāb al-Ḥayawān, a seven-part compendium on an array of subjects with animals as their point of departure; Kitāb al-Bayān wa-l-tabyīn, a wide-ranging work on human communication; and Kitāb al-Bukhalāʾ, a collection of anecdotes on stinginess. Tradition claims that he was smothered to death when a vast amount of books fell over him.
