Al-Nadîm (987) is the name of an Arab scholar who, in his works, included references to the “Indian number system� or �Hindu numeral notation� (with zero), which was perfected and was in use in India during the earliest centuries of the Christian era.—In the Fihrist, the author Al-Nadîm includes the Hindu numerals in a list of some two hundred alphabets of India (Hind.). These numerals are called hindisah.
