Uncle of Nasr b. Ahmad al-Samani; in early Muharram 302 came Nasr b. Ahmad's letter — the lord of Khurasan — reporting he had fought his uncle Ishaq b. Isma'il and taken him captive, whereupon robes of honor were cast on his messenger and the investiture robes for Khurasan's governorship were carried to him 1.
