The article presents the doctrine of muhammisa according to Muslim heresiography.
The muẖammisa is one of ḡulāt groups. This term is applied to groups accused of
exaggeration (ḡuluww) in religion and has covered a lot of groups from the early Šī‘ī
circle. Muhammisa is a current without a specific leader, it seems to have been a group
of partisans having propagated a very particular idea: the divinity of five persons from
ahl al-kisā’: Muhammad, ‘Alī, Al-Hasan, Al-Husayn and Fātima. The article focuses on
their doctrines as presented by the heresiographers and their relation to another group,
‘alyā’iyya, who recognised ‘Alī as God and Muhammad as his servant.
