Nur al-Din Abdallah ibn Humayd al-Salimi was born towards the end of the 1860s in al-Hawqayn, near Rustaq. Having gone blind at a young age, he was a pupil of his father and then of several Omani scholars, among them Salih ibn Ali al-Harithi, and settled in al-Qabil, in the Sharqiyya, where he taught. He composed more than twenty works of doctrine, law, language and history. He supported the accession of his pupil Salim ibn Rashid al-Kharusi to the imamate and died in early 1914; he was buried at Tanuf.
