باب ذکر امامان و مشایخ صوفیه / Chapter Enumerating the Imams and Masters of Sufism in Kashf al-Mahjub

This node represents the biographical chapter of Hujwiri's Kashf al-Mahjub in which he enumerates the imams and masters he regards as authorities of the Sufi Path — from jurists honored by the tradition (such as Abu Hanifa and Ahmad ibn Hanbal) through the early Sufi shaykhs (such as Dhul-Nun al-Misri, Abu Hafs al-Haddad, Abu Hamza al-Khorasani, and Ibn Khafif). Each figure appears in its own section as a model of asceticism, knowledge, and spiritual station. Understanding the purpose of this chapter — Hujwiri's method of grounding Sufism in a chain of recognized authorities — is a prerequisite for reading any single biography within it, including the section on Abu Hanifa Nu'man ibn Thabit.
