It is a mistake to say that one of Abū al-Qāsim ibn Juzayy's teachers was Ibn Rushd al-Ḥafīd (the grandson) Averroes (1126-1198), the author of Bidāyat al-Mujtahid and grandson of Abu Al-Walid Muhammad bin Rushd al-Jadd (the grandfather) (d. 1126), the noted Maliki Qadi.
The panegyrist of Yusuf I of Granada, Abū al-Qāsim Ibn Juzayy was martyred in the Battle of Río Salado in 1340.[2]
He was the father of Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Juzayy al-Kalbi al-Gharnati.
