Muqatil ibn Sulayman

[1][6] The tafsir (interpretation) of Muqatil was highly regarded by various classical Islamic teaching scholars.,[7][8] and his commentary on Quran chapter Al-Inshiqaq has been preserved into modern era and translated into English by Nicolai Sinai.

[9] Muqatil was known for theological opposition against the contemporary Mu'tazilism, as his ideas related to physical aspects and likening God to human image and activity.

[10] His views on divine anthropomorphism were notorious to later generations, but in spite of his “extreme" corporealism, he employed ta'wil in his tafsir even on verses on the attributes of Allah believed by many to show the contradiction in his thought.

[11] Muqatil Ibn Sulayman also strongly associated "commanding right" with furthering the monotheism that he taught,[vague][12] but also with a pacifist approach.

[10]Another example of alleged anthrophomorphic view of Muqatil was attributed to his statement that God possessed bodily parts such as flesh, blood, hair, bones and such.

Each of them ended up writing a book refuting the other, and Muqatil used his political links to get Jahm expelled from Balkh, having him sent to Termez.
