Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: in 801 (Integrated Authority File; BnF authorities; Encyclopaedia of Islam; MacTutor History of Mathematics archive) or in 800 (google.fr) or in 796 (Q113226778).
The main date retains its own sources. These alternatives overlap neither all other statements nor the main date. Rank is Wikidata editorial priority, not proof.
