Fazārī played a pivotal role in the initial development of the Arabic astronomical tradition from Indian, Sasanian, and Greek sources, but almost nothing of his own works remains with us. Not even his identity is entirely certain: there was some ambiguity among medieval biographers as to whether “Ibrāhīm ibn Ḥabīb al‐Fazārī” and “Muḥammad ibn Ibrāhīm ibn Ḥabīb al‐Fazārī” were two different people, namely father and son. It is now assumed, however, that the various references to the astronomer Fazārī mean the same individual.

Sezgin pointed out to conflicting sources about the names: sometimes it is “Ibrahim al-Fazari” and sometimes “Muhammad ibn Ibrahim”. In fact, they are two different personalities: the father Ibrahim (died in 160H/ 777M) and the son Muhammad (180H/796M). The father was an astronomer and used to translate Indian books; but the books seem to be written by his son “Muhammad”, but the sources indicate the two personalities in the same titles. 

Al-Fazari is known to have lived under the reign of Harun al-Rashid (died in 149 A.H/ 766 A.D) then Abu Ja’far Al-Mansur (died in 158 A.H/ 775 A.D).
