Abu al-Tufayl

Abu al-Tufayl Amir ibn Wathila al-Kinani (Arabic: أبو الطفيل عامر بن واثلة الكناني, romanized: Abū al-Ṭufayl ʿĀmir bin Wāthila al-Kinānī; c. 625–732) was one of the companions of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and of a number of Shia imams. He was also a poet.[1] Abu al-Tufayl went to Kufa during the reign of Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman and then to Al-Mada'in. For many years, he was a companion of Ali. Abu al-Tufayl also studied scientific matters from Ali bin Abi Talib. After the death of Ali, he returned to Mecca and stayed there to the end of his life,[2] around 102/732.[3]
