Mohammed ibn al-Tayyib al-Qadiri (Arabic: محمد بن الطيب القادري; 1712–1773) was a Moroccan historian most known as the author of Nashr al-Mathani.[1][2][3][4] This work is a biographical dictionary of 18th-century Morocco, but each year is usually accompanied by a summary of events. In this sense, the form of the book tends toward being both that of a biographical dictionary and a chronicle. Mohammed al-Qadiri is the grandson of the genealogist Abd as-Salam al-Qadiri.
