Overview
Hanash ibn al-Mubashshir, whom al-Mas'udi describes as one of the scholars of the people of hadith and one of the leaders of the Hashwiyya. 2.
His brother Ja'far
His brother Ja'far ibn al-Mubashshir was among the scholars of the Mu'tazila. Al-Mas'udi mentions that each of them swore not to address the other until he joined his Creator. 2.
The description "Hashwiyya" is al-Mas'udi's judgement, not a description the museum adopts.
