'Asad' was an early
Samanid. He was the son of
Saman.
According to tradition, Asad was named by his father in honor of the
Caliphal governor of
Khurasan Asad ibn 'Abd-Allah al-Qasri (
723-
727), who had converted Saman to
Islam. Asad had four sons:
Nuh,
Ahmad,
Yahya, and
Ilyas. Caliph
al-Mamun appointed Asad's sons to be rulers of
Samarqand,
Ferghana,
Shash,
Ustrushana and
Hirat, and thus the dynasty of rulers was started.
