A work on Sufi-ism. 



Mulla 'AH al-Qarl (d. a.h. 1040 = a.d. 1630) wrote a com- 

 mentary on this text in which, agreeing with Ibn Hajar, he said 

 that the author was an Indian, but according to H. I£h. and 

 others it is by Md. B. 'Uthman B. 'Umar al-Balkhi (d. a.h. 800 



= a.d. 1397). ( i^Vi c,l*le &> j+e ^ *♦»..*.) See H. Kh., Vol. 

 IV, p. 283. 



In the Berl. Lib. Ar. Cat. the title of the work is given as 



ert^Uil ^aU* Manakij al-' Arifin (see No. 3064), and the author 



is said to be ^dJ\ ^^Ji *** ^ «D| «xw «Abd-AUah B. 'A. 

 Rahman al-Mada'ini. See also H. £h., Vol. VI, p. 159. 



The work is divided into 20 chapters and a Kjiatimah. 

 Written in elegant Nasta'liq on blue paper. (Not mentioned 

 in Brock.) Many copies exist in India. Dr. Ross and E. G. 

 Browne also mention a copy in their Catalogue (see p. 160) and 

 Ind. Off. Lib. Cat., p. 190, where it is mentioned that it is not 

 an abridgment of GhazzalT's Ihya' as stated by Stewart in his 

 Cat., p. 139. The work has been lithographed with meanings
