Abu Muhammad 'Abdallah ibn Muhammad ibn Hajjaj ibn al-Yasmin al-Adrini al-Fessi[1] (Arabic: ابن الياسمين) (died 1204)[2] more commonly known as ibn al-Yasmin, was a Berber mathematician, born in Morocco and he received his education in Fez and Sevilla. Little is known of his personal life, except that he was born into an Berber family.[1][2] and according to Ibn Sa'id, he was black like his mother.[2] Since some historians have given him the surname al-Ishbili, he may have been born or grown up in Seville.[2] Besides mathematics, he also became famous in literature, law, and particularly in Andalusian poetry.[2]
