Abstract

Owrād al-Ahbāb va Fosūs ol-Ādāb is a literary work in Persian by Abul Al-Mafākher Yahyā Bākharzi, a modern preacher and mystic of the Kubrawi order in the 14th century. This book explores the manners, customs and spiritual practices of Sufism and is one of the most important references in the researches related to the customs of Khānqāh (the sufi convent) and the traditions of the Sufis. This work basically consists of two main parts; Owrād ol-Ahbāb and Fosūs ol-Ādāb. The first part of the book, Owrād ol-Ahbāb, has not been published yet. The second part, Fosūs ol-Ādāb, which is dedicated to the subject of Sufi ethics and the Khānqāh system, was published under the full title of the book (Owrād ol-Ahbāb va Fosūs ol-Ādāb) in the first Iranian Studies Congress in 1964 edited by Iraj Afshār. Emphasizing the unpublished part of the book (Owrād ol-Ahbāb), this article introduces the versions of this work and examines its features and importance in the Sufi intellectual system, in general, and the Bākharziye of Kubrawi order in particular. Also, the linguistic features of the work have been examined in terms of phonetic issues, conversion of consonants and vowels, vocabulary, construction and usage of verbs, and syntactic issues by citing multiple evidences.
