چکیده:
Chivalry (Javanmardi) will not be complete without studying its close and two-way connection with Sufism. 'Chivalry,' which is rooted in the pure human nature, evokes qualities such as 'truthfulness,' 'purity,' 'fairness,' 'courage,' 'generosity,' 'loyalty,' 'self-sacrifice,' 'hospitality to strangers,' and 'meeting the needs of the needy.' This praiseworthy tradition has manifested in various forms throughout its historical course, and different groups have made it the motto of their lives or professions. For instance, in one period, the most prominent form of chivalry must be sought among the 'Ayyan,' in another period, athletes and heroes have gained the title of 'Pahlavani' (heroism) due to their adornment with the qualities of chivalry and have become immortal, at another time, the blending of chivalry with asceticism and Sufism becomes prominent, and in another period, various craftsmen have competed with each other in adhering to this praiseworthy tradition. In this regard, the bond between the tradition of chivalry and the customs and principles accepted by the people of Tariqa and Sufism is so striking that any research into the tradition...

The words of the great Sufis in defining Futuwwat also serve as strong evidence for the bond and fusion of chivalry and Sufism, just as Abu al-Qasim al-Qushayri (564-673 AH) dedicated the thirty-fourth chapter of the Risala al-Qushayriyya to Futuwwat and addressed the explanation and definition of the "principle of Futuwwat" through the sayings of the great Sufis, including: "Amr bin Uthman al-Makki says: Chivalry is a good character.
In some of these Futuwwat-namas, the position of chivalry is measured against Sufism and the Tariqa (spiritual path), which clearly illuminates the status of this tradition among the great Sufis; in some of these works, chivalry is considered one of the forms and shapes of Sufism, and in others, Futuwwat is called a part of Sufism and the Tariqa, just as Suhrawardi believes that just as the clothing of the chivalrous, namely the 'undergarment,' is part of the attire of the Sufis, namely the 'khirqa' (cloak), by the same analogy, Futuwwat is also a part of the Tariqa.
In the Futuwwat-namas written by the masters of Sufism, in addition to mentioning the conditions that the Pir (Sahib) and the disciple seeking to join the path of chivalry (tarbiya) must possess, they have spoken in detail about the specific rituals and formalities of entering the ranks of the chivalrous, including the drinking of water and salt, bay'ah (oath of allegiance), girding the loins, wearing special garments, and the specific litanies and remembrances of these ceremonies.
