by Ibn al-Jawzi (ابن الجوزي)
Sifat al-Safwa is a biographical and hagiographical work composed by Ibn al-Jawzi in the 12th century CE. It provides detailed accounts of the lives and virtues of Sufi saints, including early figures like Rabi'a al-Adawiyya, and serves as an important source for understanding the moral and spiritual ideals of early Islamic mysticism.
