An-Numan ibn Muqarrin (Arabic: النعمان بن مقرن; died December 641) was a companion of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.
The tribe of Banu Muzaynah had their habitations some distance from Yathrib on the caravan route which linked the city to Makkah.
During the caliphate of Abu Bakr (r. 632–634), An-Numan and his family played a major role in putting an end to the apostasy wars.
An-Numan was unhappy with the civil appointment and wrote to the caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab (r. 634–644) requesting active service.
In the campaign against the Persians concentrated at Nihawand, Umar appointed An-Numan as the commander of the Muslim army.
