Abstract
Research on the early Sufis of Hamadān, Nahāwand, and Abhar holds immense significance in comprehending the development of Sufism in the Jibāl region. This article provides an in-depth exploration of the initial stages of Sufism’s formation, focusing on the analysis of significant early Sufi texts. Specifically, the study investigates the treatises Karāmāt Sheikh abī ʻalī al-Qūmsānī, Ādāb al-fuqarāʼ, and Rawḍat al-murīdīn, authored by Ibn Zīrak al-Nahāwandī (d. 471/1078), Bābā Jaʻfar al-Abharī (d. 428/1036), and Ibn Yazdānyār al-Hamadānī (d. 472/1079), respectively. Despite their profound significance, the role of these texts in shaping Sufism within the Islamic world has received limited attention in Sufi studies. Consequently, this study contributes valuable insights into the development of Iraqi-based Sufism in Hamadān and its neighboring centers, spanning from the third/ninth century to the fifth/eleventh century. Notably, some Sufis in this region were disciples of Abū ʻAlī al-Nahāwandī al-Qūmsānī (d. 387/997), playing a pivotal role in the institutionalization of Sufism through the establishment of khāneqāhs in the area.
对Hamadān、Nahāwand和Abhar的早期苏菲派的研究对于理解Jibāl地区苏菲派的发展具有重要意义。本文对苏非主义形成的最初阶段进行了深入的探索,重点分析了早期重要的苏非文本。具体地说,本研究调查了伊本z拉克al-Nahāwandī (d. 471/1078)、Bābā Ja ka far al- abharyi (d. 428/1036)和伊本Yazdānyār al-Hamadānī (d. 472/1079)分别撰写的论文Karāmāt Sheikh abir ā al ā al-Qūmsānī、Ādāb al-fuqarā '和Rawḍat al- muru ā d n。尽管具有深远的意义,这些文本在伊斯兰世界中塑造苏菲派的作用在苏菲派研究中受到了有限的关注。因此,这项研究有助于深入了解从3 / 9世纪到5 / 11世纪期间,以伊拉克为基础的苏菲派在Hamadān及其邻近中心的发展。值得注意的是,该地区的一些苏菲派是abi - al- al-Nahāwandī al-Qūmsānī(公元387/997年)的门徒,通过在该地区建立khāneqāhs,在苏菲主义制度化方面发挥了关键作用。
