[IO Islamic 1313] سير العارفين

<strong>Siyar-al’ârifîn.</strong> <strong>This manuscript is now IO Islamic 1313 in the India Office collections.</strong> <strong>[metadata:</strong> <strong>Hermann Ethé</strong><strong><em>, </em></strong><strong><em>Catalogue of Persian Manuscripts in the Library of the India Office,</em></strong> <strong>2 vols. (Oxford: India Office, 1903): volume 1,</strong> <strong>number 637 here with notations and hyperlinks]</strong>. <br> 637 Siyar-al’ârifîn (سير العارفين). Biographies of fourteen renowned Shaikhs and holy men of India, all belonging to the Ćishtî order, compiled by Ḥâmid bin Faḍl-allâh, known as Darwîsh (or Mullâ) Jamâlî, see fol. 2^b. ll. 2. and 3. Other copies of the work are described in Rieu I. p. 354, and W. Pertsch, Berlin Cat., p. 556. According to A. Sprenger’s Cat. Oudh, p. 446 the poet Jamâlî of Dihlî died A.H. 922 or 925, the author of the Safînah also fixes his death in 925 (A.D.1519) , and refutes the statement of the author of the Ṭabaḳât-i-Shâhjahânî, that he had lived until A.H. 942 ( comp. Bodleian Cat., No 376, 43). According to the same Safînah, Jamâlî was born near Dihlî, went to Khurâsân under Sulṭân Ḥusain Mirzâ, made the acquaintance of the poet Jâmî, undertook extensive journeys, returned afterwards to India and was in high favour with Sulṭân Sikandar Lûdî and also with the emperor Bâbar. This book is dedicated on fol. 4^b, last line, to Humâyûn, and since the epithets given to his name seem to imply that he was sovereign ruler already at that time, the book must have been finished after A.H.937 = A.D. 1530 (the date of Humâyûn’s accession to the throne), and the poet cannot have died already, A.H. 925. A.H. 942 (A.D. 1535, 1536) seems therefore, after all, the more correct date of Jamâlî’s death; comp. also Bodleian Cat., No. 1274. In the preface the author gives us a short statement about his pilgrimage to Makkah, and his travels in Maghrib, Yaman, Palestine, Rûm, Syria, the two ’Irâḳs, Adharbaijân, Gilân, Mâzandarân, and Khurâsân, and tells us, that after his return to Dihlî his friends requested him to write a book on the learned Shaikhs of all the countries which he had visited. But he found that too great a task, and resolved, therefore, to write a work exclusively on Indian Saints. The fourteen biographies deal with the following Shaikhs: 1. Sulṭân-almashâyikh Mu’în-aldîn Hasan Bin Ghiyâth-aldîn alḥusainî alḥasanî Sijzî [ed note: more generally Muʿīn al-Dīn Chishtī] (سِجْزِى as explained in a marginal gloss : بكسر سين مهملَه و سكون جيم و كسر زاى معجمه ), on fol. 5^a . He died, A.H. 633 (A.D. 1236), in Ajmîr, see further down in the Safînat-alauliyâ, No. 110. 2. Ḥadrat Shaikh-almashâyikh Badr-almillat wa-aldîn Maḥmûd Mû’înadûz (the furrier) Khujandî, on fol. 18^b. 3.

Ḥaḍrat Shaikh-almashâyikh wa-alauliyâ Farîd-almillah wa-aldîn Mas’ûd (i.e. the well-known Ganj-i-Shakar, see the Safînat-alauliyâ, No. 113), on fol. 74^a. 6. Ḥaḍrat Sulṭân-almashâyikh Ṣadr-aldîn ‘Ârif, on fol.111^b. (see the Safînat-alauliyâ, No. 155). 7.

Ḥaḍrat Malik-almashâyikh wa-alauliyâ Rukn-aldîn Abû-alḳâsim Abû-alfatḥ, on fol. 168^b. He was the son of Ṣadr-aldîn ‘Ârif (see the Safînat-alauliyâ, No.156). 9.

Ḥaḍrat Malik- almashâyikh Ma’rifat-shi’ârî Siyâdat-dithârî Sayyid Jalâl-almillah wa-aldîn Makhdûm-i-Jahâniyân Bukhârî, on fol. 214^a (see the Safînat-alauliyâ, No. 157). He died A.H. 785 (A.D. 1384). 14.

Of these fourteen Shaikhs, No. 2 is wanting in Rieu’s copy and No. 14 in Pertsch’s, so that the present copy is the fullest yet met with.

Pertsch）《柏林藏波斯语手稿目录》第556页。 关于作者贾马利的生卒年，据A·施普林格（A. Sprenger）《奥德汉写本目录》第446页记载，德里诗人贾马利卒于回历922年或925年；《Safînah》的作者亦将其卒年定为925年（公元1519年），并驳斥了《Ṭabaḳât-i-Shâhjahânî》作者的说法——后者称贾马利享年至回历942年（可比对博德利图书馆馆藏目录第376、43号藏品）。据《Safînah》记载，贾马利生于德里近郊，随侯赛因米尔扎（Sulṭân Ḥusain Mirzâ）前往呼罗珊，结识诗人贾米（Jâmî），游历多地后返回印度，深受Sikandar Lûdî苏丹与巴布尔（Bâbar）皇帝的礼遇。 本书于第4页反面（fol. 4ᵇ）末行献给胡马雍（Humâyûn），由于文中对胡马雍的称谓暗示其彼时已正式登基，因此本书应完成于回历937年，即公元1530年（胡马雍即位年份）之后，贾马利不可能在回历925年便已逝世。因此回历942年（公元1535、1536年）或许才是贾马利更准确的卒年；亦可比对博德利图书馆馆藏目录第1274号藏品。 在本书序言中，作者简述了自己前往麦加的朝觐经历，以及在马格里布、也门、巴勒斯坦、鲁姆（Rûm）、叙利亚、两伊拉克、阿塞拜疆、吉兰、马赞德兰与呼罗珊的游历，并提及返回德里后，友人曾请求他为自己游历过的所有国家的知名谢赫著书立说，但他认为此任过于繁重，遂决定仅撰写印度圣徒的传记。 十四篇传记所涉谢赫如下： 1. 谢赫长老穆因丁·哈桑·本·吉亚斯丁·侯赛尼·哈桑尼·西吉齐（Sijzî，边注补充：更通用的称谓为穆ʿ因丁·契斯提（Muʿīn al-Dīn Chishtī），阿拉伯语原词标注：بكسر سين مهملَه و سكون جيم و كسر زاى معجمه），见于第5页正面（fol. 5ᵃ）。其于回历633年（公元1236年）在阿杰梅尔（Ajmîr）逝世，详见《圣徒宝船》（Safînat-alauliyâ）第110号藏品。 2. 尊贵的谢赫长老、宗教与正统的守护者巴德尔丁·马哈茂德·穆因纳杜兹（皮货商）库杰万迪，见于第18页反面（fol. 18ᵇ）。 3. 尊贵的伊斯兰谢赫巴哈丁·扎卡里亚，见于第20页反面（fol. 20ᵇ）（详见《圣徒宝船》第152号藏品）。 4. 尊贵的恋人长老布尔汉丁·单一真主库特布丁·巴赫提亚尔·乌希（Ushî，边注补充：更通用的称谓为库特布丁·巴赫提亚尔·卡卡基（Quṭb al-Dīn Bakhtiyār Kākī）），见于第54页反面（fol. 54ᵇ）（详见《圣徒宝船》第112号藏品）。 5. 尊贵的谢赫长老与圣徒法里德丁·马苏德（即知名的“甘吉沙卡尔”，详见《圣徒宝船》第113号藏品），见于第74页正面（fol. 74ᵃ）。 6. 尊贵的谢赫长老萨德尔丁·阿里夫，见于第111页反面（fol.111ᵇ）（详见《圣徒宝船》第155号藏品）。 7. 尊贵的谢赫长老尼扎姆丁·穆罕默德·巴达乌尼（即谢赫奥利亚，详见《圣徒宝船》第114号藏品），见于第128页反面（fol. 128ᵇ）。其于回历725年（公元1325年）逝世。 8. 尊贵的谢赫领袖鲁克努丁·阿布勒卡西姆·阿布勒法塔赫，见于第168页反面（fol. 168ᵇ）。他是萨德尔丁·阿里夫之子（详见《圣徒宝船》第156号藏品）。 9. 尊贵的谢赫领袖哈米德丁·纳古里，见于第178页反面（fol. 178ᵇ）（详见《圣徒宝船》第111号藏品）。 10. 尊贵的谢赫领袖纳吉布·穆塔瓦基勒，见于第189页反面（fol. 189ᵇ）。 11. 尊贵的谢赫长老贾拉勒丁·阿布勒卡西姆·大不里士，见于第197页正面（fol. 197ᵃ）。 12. 尊贵的谢赫长老纳绥尔丁·马哈茂德·奥迪（即德里的“奇拉格”，详见《圣徒宝船》第116号藏品），见于第207页反面（fol. 207ᵇ）。 13. 尊贵的谢赫领袖马立克沙阿·希阿里·赛义德·贾拉勒丁·马克杜姆·贾哈尼扬·布哈里，见于第214页正面（fol. 214ᵃ）（详见《圣徒宝船》第157号藏品）。其于回历785年（公元1384年）逝世。 14. 尊贵的圣人、真理追寻者长老布尔汉丁·圣人传作者的精神导师萨马尔丁·苏丹，见于第226页反面（fol. 226ᵇ）。他从谢赫卡比尔丁·伊斯梅尔处获得教团授职，于回历901年朱马达奥沃勒月17日，即公元1496年2月2日逝世（详见第243页正面第6-10行，贾马利在此处记载：هشت خلد آمد بنام او اگر پرسد كسى – سال تأريخش بگو هشت آمده بر نام او，即هشت=705，加在其名字سماء الدين=196之上，总计901）。 上述十四位谢赫中，吕厄抄本缺失第2位谢赫，佩尔施抄本缺失第14位谢赫，因此本次馆藏抄本为目前所见最完整的版本。 序言开篇见于第1页反面（fol. 1ᵇ）：حمدى كه ابواب سعادت بر ارباب عبادت مفتوح گردانيد و سپاسى الخ。卷首附有活页索引。该抄本于回历1043年邵瓦尔月（公元1634年4月）在拉合尔（Lâhûr）抄写，曾为理查德·约翰逊先生所有。编号1313，共244页，第13行；字体为不甚规整的纳斯塔里克体（Nasta’lîḳ）；带有装饰性扉画；尺寸为9又7/8英寸 × 5又3/8英寸。
