Shaykh Tusi (Persian: شیخ طوسی), full name Abu Ja'far Muhammad ibn al-Hasan al-Tusi (Arabic: ابو جعفر محمد بن الحسن الطوسي, romanized: Abū Jaʿfar Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥasan al-Ṭūsī), known as Shaykh al-Ta'ifah (Arabic: شيخ الطائفة, romanized: Shaykh al-Ṭāʾifah) was a Persian[1] scholar of the Twelver school of Shia Islam. He is the author of two of the Four Books of hadith; namely, Tahdhib al-Ahkam and al-Istibsar, and is believed to have founded the Hawza of Najaf.[2] In addition, he was a scholar of ʾUṣūl al-Fiqh and is widely acknowledged as one of the most influential thinkers in Shi’i history.[3][4]
