ʽInān bint ʽAbdallāh (Arabic: عنان بنت عبد الله, died 841)[1] was a prominent poet and qiyan of the Abbasid period, even characterised by the tenth-century historian Abū al-Faraj al-Iṣfahāni as the slave-woman poet of foremost significance in the Arabic tradition.[2] She was later the concubine of Harun al-Rashid.[3]
