According to tradition, Asad was named by his father in honor of the Caliphal governor of Khurasan Asad ibn 'Abd-Allah al-Qasri (723-727), who had converted Saman to Islam. Asad had four sons: Nuh, Ahmad, Yahya, and Ilyas. Caliph al-Mamun appointed Asad's sons to be rulers of Samarqand, Ferghana, Shash, Ustrushana and Hirat, and thus the dynasty of rulers was started.
