Description
The important text of Kitab al-sawad al-a'zam by al-Hakim Muhammad b.
Isma'il al-Samarqandi (d. 342/953) is an early Hanafi creed from Transoxania that found consensus among Hanafi scholars within the region, and was translated into Persian sometime between 366/976 and 387/997.
Al-Samarqandi attained fame not only as a scholar of religious sciences and law, but, more over, as an ascetic and a sage (hakim), in the sense of possessing a 'divine blessing' for calling to the way of God, knowledge of inner rightfulness, and wisdom about high spiritual truths (hikma). This volume offers an annotated critical edition and a detailed study of this important text.
