Abu al-Layth Nasr ibn Muhammad al-Samarqandi (Arabic: أبو الليث نصر بن محمد السمرقندي, romanized: ʾAbū al-Layth Naṣr ibn Muḥammad al-Samarqandī; 944–983) was an Islamic scholar of the Hanafi school and Quran commentator, who lived during the second half of the 10th century.[1]
Works
Al-Samarqandī authored various books on theology and juridical works, including Baḥr al-ʿUlūm, بحر العلوم, a Quran exegesis, also known as Tafsīr as-Samarqandi; Tanbīh al-Ġāfilīn, تنبيه الغافلين; and the nawāzil-collections Kitāb al-Nawāzil fi al-furūʿ and Mukhtaṣar (which stand as unusual examples of Hanafi nawāzil, in a genre usually associated with the Maliki school of Islamic jurispriudence).[2]
