Muhammad ibn Ibrahim al-Nu'mani

Muḥammad ibn Ibrāhīm ibn Jaʿfar al-Nuʿmānī (Arabic: محمد بن إبراهيم بن جعفر النعماني), also known as Ibn Abī Zaynab (إبن أبي زينب), was a 10th-century Shi'a scholar. His last name suggest that his family came from al-Numaniyya, near Baghdad. He was reportedly a disciple of al-Kulayni (c. 864–941).

According to al-Najashi (c. 982–1058), he wrote several books such as the Kitāb al-Ghayba ('Book of Occultation'), the Kitāb al-Farāʾiḍ ('Book of Commandments'), and the Kitāb al-Radd ʿalā al-Ismāʿīliyya ('Book of Refutation of Isma'ilism'). A Quran commentary is attributed to him titled Tafsīr al-Nuʿmānī. The commentary is incorporated into the Biḥār al-anwār by the 17th-century author al-Majlisi.[1]
