سبحة الابرار / Subhat al-Abrar (The Rosary of the Pious)

سبحة الابرار (Subhat al-Abrar, The Rosary of the Pious) is one of the seven masnavis that make up Jami's Haft Awrang. It is structured as a string of forty عقد (iqd — knots, or beads of a prayer-rosary), each devoted to a spiritual station of the Sufi path: repentance (توبه), gratitude (شکر), contentment (رضا and قناعت), sincerity (اخلاص), humility (تواضع), sama', and so on. Each knot typically pairs a didactic discourse on its station with a مناجات (supplication) and an illustrative tale. The numbered knot-sections — such as the Ninth Knot on Repentance — belong to this work, which sits between the whole Haft Awrang collection and its individual sections.
