Abd al-Samad al-Hamadani (d. [[1216]]/1802) was an expert in [[mysticism]], [[jurisprudence]], linguistics, and [[theology]] in the thirteenth/nineteenth century. [[Al-Wahid al-Bihbahani]] and [[al-Sayyid 'Ali al-Tabataba'i]] were the prominent teachers of Abd al-Samad. | |||
He lived in [[Iraq]] for some years in order to learn and teach jurisprudence. It is said that sufi orders became widespread among [[Shi'a]] [[jurists]], especially in Iraq, through Abd al-Samad's works which was finally followed by [[Husayn Quli Hamadani]]. Abd al-Samad was [[martyred]] in [[Wahhabis' Attack to Karbala]] in [[1216]]/1802. | |||
