O knihe
Abu ¿Abd al-Ra¿man Mu¿ammad b. al-¿usayn al-Sulami (d. 412/1021 AH/CE) was born and raised in Nishapur, one of the most renowned cities in the Islamic world. He was part of a line of earlier ¿ufi figures who attempted to defend the cardinal tenets of Sufism from accusations of heresy. However, al-Sulami surpassed his predecessors by amassing a corpus of antecedent mystical dicta from the architects of Islamic mysticism and substantiating them with transmission channels (isnads) or grounding them in a core teaching of the Prophet Mu¿ammad.
This study demonstrates that al-Sulami was an accomplished mystic. It outlines his life and times, and surveys in full all his works as far as they can be identified. Moreover, the important sources that shaped the development and impression of his thinking and modality of transforming the ego-self (nafs) are presented in detail, bringing together earlier and current academic scholarship on this important figure of the third and fourth centuries of Islam (ninth and tenth centuries CE).
