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

سبحةالابرار (Subhat al-Abrar, or 'The Rosary of the Pious') is one of the seven masnavis that together make up Jami's Haft Awrang. It is a didactic Sufi poem organized as a sequence of discourses, each likened to a bead on a rosary, and every discourse is illustrated with short moral and mystical tales. Its sections include the story of Ayn al-Qudat al-Hamadani and other parables that contrast sterile book-learning with the intuitive knowledge gained through the companionship of the saints. As a distinct work inside Haft Awrang, it forms the container level between the whole collection and its individual numbered sections.
