Abu al-Husain al-Nuri

Ahmed ibn Muhammad al-Nuri (Persian: ابو الحسین النوری) (died 908 AD), known also as Nuri, was a famous early Sufi saint.

[1] He was of Persian origins, but born in Baghdad in 840 CE where spent most of his life.

The regent at the time was impressed by such magnanimity and investigated the case and found these Sufis to be good Muslims.

[5] Poetry and statements from Nuri are narrated in popular Sufism.

According to popular accounts, he gained the title "Nuri" because he "radiated light when talking".
