Muhammad ibn Haider Samarqandi.
Kitab Tafsir Zahidi.
A Qur'anic commentary from the Zahidi, or Zahidiyya school of Shi'a Islam, copied in rural Central Asia, probably from the regions of Samarkand or Bukhara during the 16th century. The Colophon is signed 'dar haqq,' literally translating to 'by right of,' suggesting that this volume was probably copied and commissioned by the named scribe Muhammad ibn Haider Samarqandi for personal use.
