Abdul Muhammad Tareen is credited with writing a mathnavi titled Shamail un Nabi on the life of Prophet Muhammad in the early 11th century. While little is known about the poet’s life, the mathnavi itself suggests that it was translated into Dakhni from Pashto. The mathnavi focuses on the noble characteristics of the Prophet Muhammad. According to Naseeruddin Hashmi, a manuscript of this work is preserved in both the Salar Jung Library and the Asafiya Library.

It is worth noting that ‘Tareen’ may also refer to a Pashtun tribe residing in southern Afghanistan and the western regions of modern-day Pakistan.
