Abu Al-Atahiya Life story
Abū al-ʻAtāhiyya, full name Abu Ishaq Isma'il ibn al-Qasim ibn Suwayd ibn Kaysan, was among the principal Arab poets of the early Islamic era, a prolific muwallad poet of ascetics who ranked with Bashshār and Abū Nuwās, whom he met. He renounced poetry for a time on religious grounds.
