Malikī faqīh and poet. He was born in Tawzar, studied in al-Qayrawān. He left for pilgrimage in 429 H and in travelling through Egypt jointed the battle against the crusaders.
His nisba al-Šaqrāṭisī is based on an old fortress called Šaqrāṭis, close to Qafṣa.
Brockelmann gives the patronym b. Abī Bakr (instead of b. Yaḥyā).
