Incompatible birth dates

Sources disagree: in November 713 (al-Kāmil fī al-tārīkh, Ibn al-Athīr (Bayt al-afkār, 2005)) or in 714 (Encyclopædia Universalis; BnF authorities).

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.
