Sari Al Raffa

Al-Sari al-Raffa, a poet. He was a neighbour of Abu al-Hasan Ali ibn Isa al-Rummani in the Suq al-Atash. He would pass by al-Rummani sitting at the door of his house, and al-Rummani would invite him to sit and talk with him ².

Ibn al-Nadim reports that al-Sari had Shi'i leanings. When this had gone on for long enough for al-Rummani, he recited his poem on love of the Wasi ².
