Abstract

Shaykh Abū Sa’id Abi al-Khayr (357-440 AH) is a renowned mystic of the fourth and fifth centuries AH. His name is intertwined with love, poetry, simā’(spiritual audition), expansion, joyfulness, and perspicacity. Furthermore, his name is remembered in the history of wisdom in Iran alongside figures such as Ḥallāj, Bāyazīd Basṭāmī, and Abū al-Ḥasan Kharaqānī, individuals who, according to Shihāb al-Dīn Yaḥyā Suhrawardī (d. 587 AH), pursued the Khosravani wisdom of Iran. In this article, by examining the concept of “Himmat” in early Sufism and its evolution in the era of Abu Sa’īd Abi al-Khayr, an attempt is made to clarify how Abu Sa’īd, as a continuator of Khosravānī wisdom, transformed the meaning of “Himmat” under the influence of the concept of “Farr” in Iranian culture and wisdom.Shaykh Abū Sa’id Abi al-Khayr (357-440 AH) is a renowned mystic of the fourth and fifth centuries AH.
