Another matter that could have drawn the jurist and hadith scholar Sam'ani to the assembly of lovers and compelled him to write a book with poetic prose was the writings of the masters of the third to fifth centuries; the works of greats such as Abi Nasr Siraj Tusi, Abu Talib Muhammad Makki, Abu al-Qasim al-Qushayri, Shahid Balkhi, Junayd Baghdadi, and Husayn Mansur Hallaj, which are all in Arabic, and the eternal Persian legacies such as "Kashf al-Mahjub" by Hujwiri, the works of Khwaja Abdullah Ansari Herawi, Ahmad Ghazali, and Sanai Ghaznavi.
All that has passed was an effort in finding Sam'ani's mystical motivations — and knowledge belongs to the Wise God — you will read hereafter about the book "Ruh al-Arwah".
* * * "Ruh al-Arwah" is a book on the explanation and interpretation of the Beautiful Names of God, following the method of preachers and dhikr-reciters, filled with anecdotes and stories of prophets and the prominent figures of Islam, and containing prophetic hadiths, sayings of religious greats, and Arabic and Persian poems by the author himself, Sanai, and others.
* * * As you have read more than once, the main subject of the book is the Names of God Almighty; "Ruh al-Arwah" is the first independent work in the Persian language on this subject.
Sam'ani's precious book is also an unparalleled treasure in terms of mirroring mystical views; a robust text in the history of Sufism and mysticism in Khorasan; a rich source for knowing the definitions and terminology of the people of gnosis, Sufi preferences and etiquettes, and mystical insights from Quranic verses, Hadith Qudsi, and prophetic hadiths.
