Maulana Syed Sibte Hasan Naqvi (مولانا سيد سبط حسن نقوى) was a Shia scholar from the family of Syed Dildar Ali Naqvi Naseerabadi aka Ghufran Ma'ab known as Khandaan-e-Ijtehad.
He was most famous for refining the style of Muharram majlis to the format used today, most notably in the Urdu language. Before his time, majaalis in Lucknow and other places contained marsiya, recited by great poets like Meer Babbar Ali Anees and Dabeer. The new format has Khutba in Arabic, some tafseer, Fazail of Ahlul Bayt then Masaeb of Karbala.
