Amazon:40 Hadith on Sufism: Imam Abu Abd al-Rahman al-Sulami (325–412 AH)-Moustafa Elqabbany
Sheikh Abu Abd al-Rahman al-Sulami (325–412 AH) was the undisputed sheikh of Sufism in Khorasan during his lifetime. He authored 700 volumes on Sufism and 300 in Hadith, in addition to works in Tafsir and other disciplines.
A man who bore the markings of Divine acceptance, he was loved by common men and princes, yet politely declined the extravagant gifts of the latter. His works were so popular that swaths of people would gather to listen to his public readings and lectures.
Among his works is a compilation of 40 hadiths on the subject of Sufism—spirituality in Islam—with his own chains of transmission returning to the Prophet (pbuh) , his companions, or the generation after them. Imam al- Sakhawi (831–902 AH), one of the erudite luminaries of Hadith science, produced a derivative work (known as a takhrij) in which he checked and graded al- Sulami’s collection.
He also provided corroborating transmissions (shawahid). While not all of the hadiths in al-Sulami’s collection are authentic, the principles they demonstrate are, without doubt, central to Sufism, and, consequently, compliant with the noble Sharia. True Sufism is the spiritual dimension of Islamic Law. Anything that contradicts the Law is either fraud or misguidance.In addition to the translation of Sheikh al-Sulami’s collection of 40 hadiths on Sufism, brief footnotes— gleaned and paraphrased from Imam al-Sakhawi’s derivative text are included in the following work.

Translator’s Introduction :Sheikh Abu Abd al-Rahman al-Sulami (325–412 AH) was the undisputed sheikh of Sufism in Khorasan during his lifetime. He authored 700 volumes on Sufism and 300 in Hadith, in addition to works in Tafsir and other disciplines. A man who bore the markings of Divine acceptance, he was loved by common men and princes, yet politely declined the extravagant gifts of the latter. His works were so popular that swaths of people would gather to listen to his public readings and lectures. Among his works is a compilation of 40 hadiths on the subject of Sufism—spirituality in Islam—with his own 1chains of transmission returning to the Prophet saws, his companions, or the generation after them. Imam alSakhawi (831–902 AH), one of the erudite luminaries of Hadith science, produced a derivative work (known as a takhrij) in which he checked and graded alSulami’s collection. He also provided corroborating transmissions (shawahid). While not all of the hadiths in al-Sulami’s collection are authentic, the principles they demonstrate are, without doubt, central to Sufism, and, consequently, compliant with the noble Sharia. True Sufism is the spiritual dimension of Islamic Law. Anything that contradicts the Law is either fraud or misguidance. In addition to the translation of Sheikh al-Sulami’s collection of 40 hadiths on Sufism, brief footnotes— gleaned and paraphrased from Imam al-Sakhawi’s derivative text—are included in the following work. Translation is interpretation, and, given the cultural, temporal, and linguistic gaps between the original and what is herein presented, interpretation is very much necessary. (In the case of the last entry in the collection in particular, the verses of Arabic poetry are translated artistically—metre, rhyme, and beauty are prioritized over accuracy.) The original Arabic is placed alongside the English not only because there are spiritual and linguistic benefits in reading it, but also to allow those with access to scholars to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of the Sunnah. May Allah bless this work, guide us, and mostly, forgive us; ameen.

Amazon: A Sufi Apologist of Nishapur:The Life and thought of Abu Abd al-Rahman al-Sulami
Abu cAbd al-Rahman Muhammad b. al-Husayn al-Sulami (d.412/1021) lived in the 3rd and 4th century AH / 9th and 10th century CE. He was born in the city of Nishapur, one of the most renowned cities in the Islamic world. He was part of a line of earlier Sufi figures who attempted to defend the cardinal tenets of Sufism from accusations of heresy. However al-Sulami's surpassed his predecessors by amassing a corpus of antecedent mystical dicta from the architects of Islamic mysticism and substantiating them with transmission channels (isnad) or grounding them in a core teaching of the Prophet Muhammad. 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 him.
