Abū ʿUthman ʿAmr ibn Baḥr al-Kinānī al-Baṣrī (776 – 868/869), commonly known as Al-Jahiz, was an Arab writer and author, credited with describing certain principles related to natural selection. Among his best known works were the Kitab al-Bukhala (Book of Misers) about courtly etiquette and the Kitab al-Hayawan (Book of Animals) which collected anecdotes and proverbs centered around animals.

In his later years, Al-Jahiz spent his time in the House of Wisdom, where he looked to collect rare books to keep in his collection. In the early 860s, the Hidden One Basim Ibn Ishaq helped Al-Jahiz to collect such books, and was rewarded for his efforts in return.
