Bahai, Sheikh
Muhammad ibn Thalib ibn Abd Allah ibn Ni`mat Allah ibn Sadr ad-Din ibn Shaykh Baha' ad-Din ash-Shirazi (Arabic: محمد ابن طالب عبدالله ابن نعمات الله ابن صدر الدين ابن شيخ بهاءالدين الشيرازي) was a 15th century physician from Shiraz, Persia.
Muhammad ibn Thalib ash-Shirazi is known only by his extensive Arabic manual on diseases and "tested remedies" (mujarrabat). He composed it for an otherwise unknown person named al-Hasan ibn Abi Yahya ibn Barakat, whose name is mentioned in the title, which translates as "Useful Information for Hasan on Tested Medical Remedies". Only two copies are known, one at The National Library of Medicine, and one in Dublin; the latter was copied in 1715, and therefore the author must have lived prior to that time.
Sommer states that Muhammad ibn Thalib Shirazi died in 1467.
He was skillful in mathematics and astronomy. His outstanding works in Persian language is Jame’ Abbasi and two masnavees by the names of “Milk and Sugar”
and “Bread and Sweet paste”. His other work “Kashkool” includes stories, news, sciences, Persian and Arabic proverbs.
He wrote Kholasat Al-Hesab and Tashrih Al-Aflak in Arabic language, too. Collection of his works is about 88 epistles and books, which has been gathered and kept. He has some poems in Persian, too. He died in 1031 A.H.
