Nuh ibn Asad
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nuh I ibn Asad (d. 841/842) was a Samanid ruler of Samarkand (819-841/2). He was a son of Asad.
In 819 Nuh was appointed authority over the city of Samarkand by Caliph Al-Ma'mun's governor of Khurasan, Ghassan ibn 'Abbad, as a reward for his support against the rebel Rafi' ibn Laith. He continued to rule over the city until his death in 841 or 842. Abdallah, the governor of Khurasan, then appointed two of Nuh's brothers, Yahya and Ahmad, to jointly rule over Samarkand.
