Jahmiyya, trace their name and origin to Jahm ibn Safwan Abu Muhriz.

Peculiar to Jahm ibn Safwan is the assertion that, although certain effects may appear to be produced by human causation, it is only in a metaphorical sense ['ala'l-majaz] that the origin of such effects can be attributed to the human being, not as a matter of reality [la 'ala'l-haqiqa]. [In other words, to attribute any action to a human being is merely a figure of speech], just as it is when one says: "The date palm grew tall, and the fruit ripened."

He always refused to profess the doctrine that Allah is Cognizant of things prior to their coming into existence ['Alim bi'l-ashya'i qabla kawniha]. He maintained that the Garden of Paradise and the Fire of Hell will eventually cease to exist. He also denied the reality of the [Divine] attributes [sifat].

The theological school [madhhab] founded by Jahm was located in a town called Tirmidh, or, according to some authorities, in Marw. He is the author of a literary work on the negation of the [Divine] attributes. He was put to death by Muslim ibn Ahwad al-Marwani.
