A study of the style and content of Fava’ed al-salekin manuscript

Mystical works are a suitable platform for creating meaning and spiritual interpretations. Favaed al-Salekin is a version written by "Baba Farid al-Din", one of the authors of the 6th and 7th centuries of the sub-continent. The subject of the edition is to mention the congregations of Sufi elders in general and to examine the congregations of Cheshtiyeh elders and Qutbuddin Bakhtiar Oshi, the elder and mentor of Baba Fariduddin Ganjshakar, in particular. In this research, the literary and content review of the version, its text, linguistic features and literary values were considered.

Considering the availability of five copies of this work, the method of correction was considered based on the original version, in the version of the Majles library, and examining its differences with the modified version. In addition, the mystical, literary and stylistic content of the version was examined by the "content analysis" method.

The variety in the type of writing and prose of the book is also remarkable and worthy of attention; In this sense, in the opening part (especially the preface and introduction), he follows the style of the "Great Messenger"; But the main text of the book has been led to exaggeration in many cases. The book's prose follows the rules of the Arabic language, including the matching of adjectives and adverbs, the sequence of additions, the plural, the relative elimination of sentence components, the special use of verbs, the use of words and combinations in groups, and different meanings can be seen in most cases.

This book is an example of an essay of the 6th and 7th century AH and an example of the prose of the Sufi councils of the Indian subcontinent, and it can be used and analyzed to compare different styles of Persian prose. The use of original verbal and spiritual techniques such as puns, puns, guarantees, similes, metaphors, similes, and guarantees are among the other features of Favaed al-Salekin. In this work, the use of hadiths is to the extent that if they are removed from the text, the sentences and their meanings will suffer.
