Reflection of the Sunni HanafisIdeas in the Book Gozideh, written by Abu Nasr Khānqāhī

Abū Naṣr Tāhir ibn Muhammad Khānqāhī is one of the greatest preachers and wise men of Khurasan. He lived in the middle of the 6th (AH) century in City of Sarakhs.
Our knowledge of his theological and jurisprudential ideas is limited and confused. He is regarded sometimes as a follower of Shāfiʼī's thoughts and sometimes as a follower of Karrāmiyya sect.
In this article, author, tries to study the historical and geographical environment of Khānqāhī and his book Gozideh and to throw light on his theological ideas.
The result of the research shows that although the traces of Ashʻarīte and Karrāmiyya thoughts can be found in Abū Naṣr, but he cannot be regarded as a follower of Ashʻarī or Karrāmiyya, but he can be regarded as a follower of “Hanafīs of Sunna and Jamāʻat”.
