Muhammad Mayyara
Abu Abd Allah Mahamad ibn Ahmad Mayyara was a jurist and theologian from Fes, one of the most reputable scholars of his time. He is the author of a commentary on the Tuhfa by Ibn Asim, a commentary on Al-Musrhid al mumin by his teacher Ibn Ashir and Sharh al-Shaykh Mayyara li-Lamiyya al-Zaqqaq, a commentary on al-Zaqqaq's Lamiyya. Mayyara's Nazm al-la'ali wa-l-durar contains a fahrasa and hence biographical information about himself. Well known is also his work called Nasihat al Mughtarrin in defence of Bildiyyīn whose position had been deteriorating after the death of Ahmad al-Mansur in 1603.
