Overview
Abd al-Hadi Naja ibn Ridwan ibn Muhammad al-Abyari, an Egyptian grammarian who studied at al-Azhar. He tutored the children of Khedive Isma'il, and was imam and mufti to Khedive Tawfiq's inner circle. 1
The museum's data give his birth as 1236 AH (1821 CE) and his death as 1305 AH (1888 CE), from this source alone, so they need an additional source. 1
