Al-Fath al-Mawsili

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Abu Naṣr Abu Muḥammad ibn Saʿīd (Template:Lang-ar) more commonly known as Al-Fatḥ al-Mawṣilī (Template:Lang-ar) (died 835) was an Arab ascetic, weeper (bakkāʾ) and a hadith transmitter. He was born in Kar, Mosul, hence the nisba al-Mawsili. Al-Fath lived in the Abbasid capital of Baghdad, and he was a contemporary and a close friend of Bishr al-Ḥafi (died 227 AH/c. 841 AD). Both Al-Fath and Bishr has been claimed as forebears by later Ṣufis.[1]
