Muhammad was second Shah of Layzan whose father was first Layzanshah Yazid ibn Khalid, a member of junior branch of Yazidids. He was nephew of first independent Shirvanshah Haytham I.

Nothing about his reign is known in sources except for that his "rule lasted a long time, his prestige grew and his affairs prospered".{{sfn|Minorsky|1958|p=29}} He was thought to be a Shirvanshah earlier because of a confusing note left by al-Masudi who mentioned that it was Muhammad ibn Yazid that annexed principalities of Khursān (lands south to Derbent) and Vardān (north of Quba).{{sfn|Minorsky|1958|p=81-82}} According to Vladimir Minorsky, this confusion is a result of both father and son of Abu Tahir Yazid having same name.{{sfn|Minorsky|1958|p=59}}

Muhammad of Layzan was clearly from a different branch and not Shirvanshah{{Cite journal |last=Akopyan |first=Alexander |date=2009-01-01 |title=A donative dirham of the Shirwānshāh Muhammad ibn Ahmad (AH 370-81) struck in Barda'a in AH 373 (982/3) |url=https://www.academia.edu/735260/A_donative_dirham_of_the_Shirw%C4%81nsh%C4%81h_Muhammad_ibn_Ahmad_AH_370_81_struck_in_Bardaa_in_AH_373_982_3_ |journal=The Numismatic Chronicle}} and probably died {{Circa|917}}.
