Abstract

In the collection of seventy verses that have remained from Shah b. Shoja Kermani, twelve verses are attributed to other Sufis. Eight quotations in the name of Dhu 'l-Nun al-Misri, one quotation in the name of Abu Yazid al-Bastami, two quotations in the name of Abu 'Uthman al-Hri, and one quotation in the name of Abu Sa'id-i Abu al-Hayr. In this article, the attribution of the main author is discussed and it is argued that it is preferable to attribute these words to Shah Kermani based on the following arguments: A. a special reputation is attributed to the narrators of Shah Kermani’s words. The first narrator is Abu Abd al-Rahman Sulami Nishabouri. He narrated the words of Shah through two prominent students of Abu Othman Heiri. Heiri himself was a student of the Shah and wrote his words in a special notebook. Sirjani, the second narrator, is recognized not only as one of the great Sheikhs of Sufism and the author of the significant book “Al-Bayad” but also as a compatriot of the Shah and one of his earnest admirers. B. Shah Shuja Kermani's writing style is distinguished by a particular feature, namely the inclusion of three specific sayings in his works, which are referred to as triple sayings. These words were probably authored by Shah Kermani himself. C. Per the rule of “attribution to the most famous ”, it is expected that the words of Shah Kermani would be attributed to Sufis who are more renowned than him.
