Aḥmad b. Ibrāhīm b. Muḥammad al-Dimashqī al-Dumyāṭī, commonly known as Ibn al-Naḥḥās al-Dimashqī al-Dumyāṭī (Arabic: ابن النحّاس الدمشقي الدمياطي; died 1411), was an Islamic scholar and a mujahid who was killed fighting the Byzantine army. His birth was not known. At the time of death he was in Egypt.

Al-sakhawi writes, "He strove in doing good, and preferred obscurity, he did not become proud because of his knowledge, on the contrary maybe those who did not know him would think him to be a commoner, with his pleasant appearance, beautiful beard, stocky and even body, he participated much in Ribat and Jihad until he was martyred".[1]

In modern times, he has been cited by members of the Salafi movement for the justification of Jihad.

Abdullah Yusuf Azzam who is commonly noted as being responsible for the revival of jihad in the twentieth century, referred to Ibn al-Nahhas' most famous piece of work as the best books he has read.[2]

Pakistani jihadist Masood Azhar has written a 850-page commentary on his Mashāriʻal-Ashwāq ilʹa-Maṣariʻ al-ʻUshshāq.[3]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
