Sa'id ibn Jubayr: what Wikipedia removed

Sa’id ibn Jubayr was an early Islamic scholar and jurist from Kufa, regarded as one of the leading members of the Tabi’in. Through 2005 the opening said Sa’id was martyred in the month of Sha’ban, 95/714 at the age of 49. Today’s opening covers his scholarly standing but omits his death, with martyr gone from the opening though it survives twice elsewhere in the article. A reader today does not learn that Sa’id ibn Jubayr was martyred in 714 at the age of 49.

The word “martyr” appeared 1 times in this article’s opening at its peak, in 2005. Today the opening carries none; the body carries 2. Checked against the full current article on 2026-08-01.
