Description:
Zād al-Musāfirīn (Provisions for the Travellers) by medieval Sufi poet Amīr Ḥusayn ibn ‘Ālim ibn Ḥasan al-Ḥusaynī Haravī, known as Amīr Ḥusaynī or Fakhr al-Sādāt (d. ca. 1317). Originally from Ghor, Afghanistan, he travelled to Multan where he became a disciple of the Suhravardī Ṣūfī Shaykh, Rukn al-Dīn Abū'l-Fatḥ, the grandson and successor of Bahā' al-Dīn Zakarīya, but then he settled in Herat. Comprised of eight maqālāt (treatises) the author modelled his work on the Ḥadīqat al-Ḥaqīqat (Enclosed Garden of Truth) of Ḥakīm Sanā'ī. A scribe named Shīr Muḥammad Dihlavī likely completed this volume in the Indian subcontinent in 1085 AH (1674 CE).
