Abdullah al-Samahiji
ʿAbdullāh ibn Ṣāliḥ al-Samāhījī (1675–1722) (Arabic: عبد الله بن صالح السماهيجي) was a Bahraini Shia Islamic scholar who lived during the Safavid period. He was born in the village of Samaheej on Muharraq Island, and like many of his Bahraini contemporaries, he was a follower of the Akhbari theological school—although his father was a pure Usuli who detested Akhbaris.
