Biography
Biography
Mostly known for his love poetry in muwashshah form, Ibn Sahl's two young male lover addressees, Mûsâ ibn ʿAbd al-Ṣamad and Muḥammad, are thought by some to represent the two religions that played important roles in his life, his original Judaism and the Islam to which he converted. Others hold that the youths were historical individuals. The Moroccan author Mohammed al-Ifrani (1670–1747) wrote a biography of Ibn Sahl.
