# Ahmad b. 'Ali al-Najashi

> Abū al-ʿAbbās Aḥmad ibn ʿAlī ibn al-ʿAbbas ibn Muḥammad ibn ʿAbdullāh al-Najāshī al-Asadī, often simply referred to as al-Najāshī, was a Twelver Shi'ite Muslim scholar mainly known for his work on the subject of biographical evaluation, called the Rijāl al-Najāshī. His family is descended from Abu Samal ibn Hubayra al-Asadi, a poet of the Ridda Wars who repented and fought in the Battle of al-Qadisiyyah in 636, during the Muslim conquest of Persia. His ancestor was Abdullah al-Najashi, the wāli of al-Ahwaz at the time of Abu Ja'far al-Mansur (754–775), who was an "adamant Rāfiḍi" according to Basran historian Abu al-Yakzan. Abdullah is also known for his correspondence of inquiry with Ja'far al-Sadiq. His son, Muhammad ibn Abdullah, was also the governor of Istakhr in Iran.
