-Abu Hanifa Nu'man b. Muhammad b. Mansur b. Ahmad b. Hayun al-Tamimi al-Maghribi was a prominent Isma'ili scholar at the beginning of the formation of [[Isma'iliyya]]. He was born in 259/872-3 in [[Morocco]] in a family of scholars. His father was a well-known [[Sunni]] scholar and a follower of the [[Maliki]] school and a narrator of many [[hadith]]s.

Nu'man learned about hadiths and Islamic disciplines since he was a child.
 Nu'man was a follower of the Maliki school, but he later converted to [[Isma'iliyya]] (the sect that takes [[Isma'il b. Ja'far al-Sadiq (a)]] to be the occluded Imam). Some Shiite scholars, such as [[al-'Allama al-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.
