Lili ibn al-Nu'man

Lili ibn al-Nu'man, also known as Lili ibn Shahdust, was the leader of the Shahanshahvand clan, and also ruled as the second king of the Gilites, ruling from the early 10th-century to 921.

In 921, he invaded the territories of Samanids, conquering Damghan, Nishapur and Merv.

He was, however, defeated and killed by a Samanid army under Abu'l-Fadl al-Bal'ami and Simjur al-Dawati.

Lili was succeeded by Harusindan, who was a Gilite from another clan.
