Nafi ibn al-Harith
Nāfiʿ ibn al-Ḥārith ibn Kalada al-Thaqafī (Arabic: نَـافِـع ابْـن الْـحَـارِث ابْـن كَـلَـدة الـثَّـقَـفِي) (died 13 AH / 634 – 635 CE)) was an Arab physician of the Banu Thaqif. He was recommended by Muhammad, and treated Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas and Abu Bakr. When the latter was dying, he designated his illness as poisoning.

Trained in Yemen,[1] he is reported to have written a book named Dialog in Medicine. He was also a student and teacher at the Academy of Gundishapur in Persia.[citation needed]
He was half brother of Abu Bakra al-Thaqafi (also known as Nufay ibn al-Harith).[2]
