Ayyub ibn Nuh ibn Duraj Nakhai was one of the trusted representatives of Ali al-Hadi in Kufa.[a][2][3] These representatives were responsible for the financial and religious affairs of the Imamite Shias[4] especially for the collection of religious taxes like Khums[5] and following the same tenet of political quietism of the Shia Imams, they took on the role of directing and organising the Shia community.[6] Since Ayyub handled large amounts of religious donations on behalf of al-Hadi, the people were apparently surprised to find out after his death that he had only left behind hundred-fifty dinars.[3][7] According to Shaykh Tusi, he was reliable narrator and reported many narrations from al-Hadi. His father Nuh ibn Darraj was a Qadi in Kufa and Jameel bin Darraj was his brother.[7]

A letter attributed to al-Hadi asks Ayyub ibn Nuh and Hasan ibn Rashid (a representative of al-Hadi in Baghdad, Mada'in, and the Sawad) to resolve their dispute and work only within their defined areas.[8]

Notes

  1. ^ Al-Hadi's representatives appear to have been split up into four distinct regions: the first one included Baghdad, Mada'in, the Sawad, and Kufa; the second, Basra and Ahwaz; the third, Qom and Hamadan; and the fourth, the Hejaz, Yemen, and Egypt.[1]
