Abu Naṣr Abu Muḥammad ibn Saʿīd (Arabic: أبو نصر أبو محمد بن سعيد), also known as Shaykh Fathi or Al-Fatḥ al-Mawṣilī was one of the early Muslim Sufi saints.[1][2] He was born in the Kar district[2] of Mosul, hence he had the epithet Al-Mawsili.[3]

He was a notable Hadith scholar as well as an ascetic.[4][2] Al-Fath al-Mawsili was also a companion of the fellow scholarly ascetic, Bishr ibn al-Harith.[5] He died in 835 and was buried in his hometown, where a shrine was built over his grave.[2]
