Ibn Muhriz
Abu'l-Khattab Muslim ibn Muhriz (fl. 7th–8th centuries – died c. 757), also called Salm and Abdallah,Ka'ba.[1] Ibn Muhriz first studied under Ibn Misdjah and then under Azza al-Mayla.[2] He completed musical education in Iran and Syria.[2] Ibn Muhriz suffered from leprosy, and therefore refrained from appearing much in public.[2] He appears to have been content to have his compositions performed by a slave girl musician.[2] Due to his clinical condition, Ibn Muhriz may have never attended the Umayyad court at Damascus, although a passage written by the 10th-century historian al-Masudi might imply that he was a musician in the retinue of Caliph Al-Walid II (r. 743–744).[2]
