Nur al-Din Abdul Samad ibn Ali al-Isfahani or Abdussamad Esfahani was an ascetic sage of the 13th century. Al-Isfahani hailed from Isfahan and stayed in Natanz. He was a student of Najib al-Din Bozgush Shirazni, himself a student of Shihab al-Din Umar Suhrawardi. His importance in Sufism stems from the fact that he was the teacher of Abdul Razzaq al-Kashani, the author of Ta'wilat al-Qur'an, a famous mystical exegesis (interpretation) of the Qur'an. Al-Isfahani died in 1299 and he was succeeded by Shams al-Din Natanzi in his tariqah.
