Abu Jafar Ahmad ibn Nasr al-Daudi lived in the fourth-fifth Hijri, eleventh century CE in North Africa. Although we do not have an excellent chronological account of his life and career, we have at our disposal some authentic and valuable data about his life, his students, and his works in the writings of his near contemporary and later authors like the biographer Qadl 'Iyad (476/1084-544/1150), Ibn Khayr (502/1108-575/il79), Ibni Bushkuwal (494/1101-578/1185) and Ibn Farhun (720/1321-799/397), which when pieced together give us an integrated view of our author.

Qadi Abu'l-Fadl 'Iyad ibn Musa ibn 'Iyad (476/1084-544/1150), mentions al-Da'udi, belonging to Banu Asad, as an Imam of the Malikl school of law in al-Maghrib. According to him, al-Da'udi hailed from al-Masilah or Biskarah. He lived in Tripoli (Trabulus) where he wrote his book, Fi Sharh al-Muwatta'. After that, he moved to Tlemcen (Tilimsan). Qadi 'Iyad further adds that al-Da'udi was a very learned jurist and scholar in various branches of knowledge and an excellent author. He had a good command of Arabic language, Hadith and speculative science.
