مطيع بن إياس

Muti' ibn Iyas, a poet of Persian clientage in the early Abbasid period. Ahmad Amin says that he was among those accused of heresy. ²

Ahmad Amin relates that he supported the Manichaean and Daysanite doctrines, and that he became known for heresy along with the three Hammads, Bashshar ibn Burd, Ibn al-Muqaffa', Ibn Abi al-Awja' and Salih ibn Abd al-Quddus. ^{2 3}

This is the judgement of the source, not the judgement of the museum.

Ahmad Amin relates that the poets praised al-Mahdi, and when Muti' had finished, he began a discourse with an unbroken chain of transmission from the Prophet ﷺ about the Mahdi. ⁴
