Lili ibn al-Nu'man
Lili ibn al-Nu'man, also known as Lili ibn Shahdust, was the second king of the Gilites, ruling from the early 10th-century to 921. He also served in high offices under his overlord the Zaydids. In 921, he invaded the territories of Samanids, conquering Damghan, Nishapur and Merv. He was, however, shortly defeated and killed by an Samanid army under Abu'l-Fadl al-Bal'ami and Simjur al-Dawati. Lili was succeeded by Harusindan, who was a Gilite from another clan.
