Sahl al- Tustari Iran/Persia (818? - 896) Timeline Muslim / Sufi Poems by Sahl al- Tustari Books - Links |
One of his early teachers was Dhun-Nun al-Misri. Among Tustari's students was the great Sufi mystic and martyr, al-Hallaj.
Tustari is best known for writing one of the first Sufi commentaries on the Qur'an, the Tafsir al-Tustari. Just as many Jewish mystics have asserted about the Torah, and Christian mystics have taught about the Gospels, Tustari upheld the tradition that the Qur'an contains several levels of meaning.
