Abu Abd Allah Mahamad ibn Ahmad Mayyara (Arabic: محمد ميارة الفاسي; 1591–1662) was a jurist and theologian from Fes, one of the most reputable scholars of his time.[1] 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.[2][3]
