Iranian musician
Nashit (Arabic: نشیط derived from Persian: نشید; fl. second half of the 7th century) was a singer of Persian[1][2] origin, acquired as a slave by Abd Allah b. Dja'far b. Abi Talib, and who flourished in the second half of the 1st century A.H. in Medina. His Persian style of singing was a great success there, compelling other singers to imitate it, but Nashit himself had to learn the Arab style and songs in order to enlarge his repertoire.[1]
