Summary
Hammad b. Muslim al-Dabbas the ascetic, shaykh of Shaykh 'Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani; raised at Baghdad with a date-syrup workshop, illiterate — yet he had companions, followers, states and graces, and his utterances were recorded in volumes; shaykh of the gnostics of his time, Ibn 'Aqil used to slight and harass him. 2
His way
Al-Sakhawi records that he travelled abroad, met the shaykhs, strove against his self and plied trades seeking the lawful, then dictated on conduct and works; he ate nothing but what was gifted him on account of dreams; he died the night of Saturday the fifth of Ramadan 525 and was buried at the Shuniziyya. 2
