Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox saint Шаблон:Sufism Ahmed Ibn Abu al-Hussain al-Nuri (Шаблон:Lang-fa) (died 908 AD), known also as Nuri, was a famous early Sufi saint.[1] He was of Persian origins, but born in Baghdad in 840 CE where spent most of his life.[2] He is the author of Maqamat al-qulub (Stations of the Hearts). He is famous for saying, "I love God and God loves me".[3][4]

Nuri and several of his friends were accused of heresy and charged in 878 C.E. Nuri offered to be tried before his companions. The regent at the time was impressed by such magnanimity and investigated the case and found these Sufis to be good Muslims. Thus he set the accused free. Nuri was exiled to Raqqa in Syria, and returned later on.[5]

Poetry and statements from Nuri are narrated in popular Sufism. According to popular accounts, he gained the title "Nuri" because he "radiated light when talking". He was acquainted with Junayd Baghdadi.
