The Ash'ariyah used the term Jabriyah in the first place to describe the followers of Jahm ibn Safwan (died 746) in that they regarded their faith as a middle position between Qadariyah and Jabriya. On the other hand, the Mu'tazilah and Maturidiyah considered Ash'ariyah as Jabriyah because, in their opinion, they rejected the orthodox doctrine of free will.[1]
