thumb| The Prophet and the Persian physician, miniature by ‛Abid. Mughal India, ca. 1645. [[Freer Gallery of Art]] '''Baha' al-Dawlah ibn Siraj al-Din Shah Qasim ibn Muhammad al-Husayni Nurbakhshi' (also sometimes called Nuri rather than Nurbakhshi), was a 15–16th century Persian physician.
He obtained court favor in both Persia and Baghdad. He is known for one treatise, a medical compendium called Khulasat al-tajarib (The Summary of Experience) which he composed in 1501 in the village of Tarasht, which was near the town of Ray, present-day Tehran.
