Overview
Abu Abdallah Ibn Nafis, whom Ibn al-Nadim lists among the chief missionaries (du'at). 2
His story
Ibn al-Nadim relates that the mission would pass to him as successor to Abu Ya'qub al-Sijistani. Then Abu Ya'qub objected to a matter that had reached him about him, and sent some Persian men who killed him by treachery, against his will. No book of his composition has appeared. 2
The account rests on a single source and needs an additional source.
