Nu'man was a follower of the Maliki school, but he later converted to Isma'ili [[Shiism]]—the sect that takes [[Isma'il b. Ja'far al-Sadiq (a)]] to be the occluded Imam. Some Shiite scholars, such as [['Allama Majlisi]] and [[Muhaddith al-Nuri]], take him to be a Twelver Shiite, maintaining that he pretended to be an Isma'ili Shiite to protect himself from Isma'ili kings. | Nu'man was a follower of the Maliki school, but he later converted to Isma'ili [[Shiism]]—the sect that takes [[Isma'il b.
