As for Ali Al-Hashemi, the researcher of Al-Jamhara, he says: “Thus, the internal and external evidence combine to show that Abu Zaid Muhammad bin Abi Al-Khattab Al-Qurashi was one of the men of the third century and the beginning of the fourth century, and that his death was between the years 300-310 AH, approximately as we mentioned, so his book was the product of the end of the third century or the beginning of the fourth century.
