مسلک العارفین (بر‌ اساس‌ منابع‌ اهل‌ سنت) الفارسية 1401

Maslak al-Arifin is one of the texts of the Pishanqashbandi period related to the book Eunuchs period. Its author is Muhammad bin Ahmad bin Muhammad Bukhari or Muhammad bin Ahmad Asad Bukhari. This book is one of the most important sources of knowledge of the eunuchs' tariqat before the formation of the Naqshbandiyya dynasty and Baha' al-Din Muhammad Naqshband (791 AD) and has not been published until now. In this article, while introducing the book, its importance is shown. There are two manuscripts left of this book. Its first text is the short text of seventeen chapters and the long text of twenty-three chapters is the second text. The most important information in the book Maslak al-Arifin is about the dynasties of eunuchs and their branches. In this work, there is information about the dispute between Ghajdwani's successors regarding the secret and public zikr, which shows how the dynasty of the eunuchs was divided into two groups. Also, some Naqshbandi terms that are part of the eight principles (such as "Seclusion in the community" and "Traveling in the homeland") are included in this book. There is also a chapter entitled Kharqah in this book, which gives us unique information about the types of Kharqah colors and their compatibility with Sufi conditions.
