Talk:Sahl al-Tustari

Article content

Hi, I've created the page and added some content and references to bring the article to "stub" class.

There is a lot more content to be mined from the references provided and more material and references to be found from, for example, a google book search. Esowteric | Talk 11:50, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

Founding of Salamiyya

There seem to be some confusion in this article as to who founded the Salamiyya group/sect :

"He founded the Salimiyah Muslim theological school, which was named after his disciple Muhammad ibn Salim."

According to the introduction to translation of the Tafsir al Tustari(translated by Annabel Keeler and Ali Keeler), in the section "Tustari as Spiritual Master, and his Disciples" it states the following :

After his death, Tustari’s close circle of disciples divided broadly into two groups. . . . Muhammad b. Salim and his son Ahmad b. Salim,...., remained in Basra, where they assembled a group of associates (ashab)around them, who came to be known as the Salimiyya.

So apparently this group was NOT founded by Tustari. If there are no objections, I am deleting that statement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.203.48.192 (talk) 22:24, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

I just saw that the link was Encyclopaedia Britannica (online) so I will not delete the statement. However, that statement does not make any sense. First of all the Salamiyya sect was founded after the death of Tustari. Second, why would Tustari found a sect which he would name after his disciple, emhpasis on disciple here. This statement is truly strikingly unintelligent. Tustari was sufi, yet the sect he supposedly made, named after his disciple, was a non-sufi sect. There is no coherence in that statement. ~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.203.48.192 (talk) 22:34, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
