Yūsuf ibn ʾAḥmad al-Baḥrānī (1695–1772)[1] (Arabic: يوسف البحراني) was a Bahraini muhaddith, faqīh and a key figure in the intellectual development of Twelver Shia Islam. Specifically, al-Bahrani was a key figure in the eighteenth century Twelver Shia debates between Akhbaris and Usulis on the nature of ijtihad and jurisprudence.[1] He is known among Shia scholars for his book entitled al-Ḥadāʾiq al-nāḍira (“The blooming gardens”) (Arabic: الحدائق الناضرة) in jurisprudence.[1] Indeed, he is often referred to as "The author of Ḥadāʾiq" (Arabic: صاحب الحدائق) among Shia clerics.
