About this person
Ismail ibn Yasar al-Nisa'i was an Arabic-language poet of Persian origin and one of the earliest Shu'ubi poets. His son, Ebrahim, and his brothers, Muhammad and Musa Shahawat were also poets. Al-Nasa'i was born and lived in Medina as a client (mawlā) of Taym b. Morra. He was a descendant of a Persian prisoner of war from Adharbayjan. He initially supported the Zubayrid's cause, but when the cause was crushed and Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr was killed in 73AH/692CE, Al-Nasa'i attached himself to the court of the Umayyad Caliphate, despite his strong Anti-Arab sentiments.
