Al-Muhasibi (781–857) was the founder of the Baghdad School of Islamic philosophy, and a teacher of the Sufi masters Junayd al-Baghdadi and Sari al-Saqti. His full name is Abu Abdullah Harith bin Asad al-Basri. He was born in Basra in 781. ''Muhasibi'' means self-inspection/audit. It was his characteristic property. He was a founder of Sufi doctrine, and influenced many subsequent theologians, such as al-Ghazali. He wrote many books about theology and ''Tasawwuf'' (Sufism), among them ''Kitab al-Khalwa'' and ''Kitab al-Ri`aya li-huquq Allah'' ("Obeying God's Permits"). In ''al-Khalwa'', in a discourse on fear and hope: :Know that the first thing that corrects you and helps you correct others is renouncing this world. For renunciation is attained by realisation, and consideration is attained by reflection. For if you think of this world, you will not find it worth sacrificing your soul and faith for it. But you will find your soul worthier of honour by ridiculing this world. This world is abhorred of God almighty and the messengers. It is an abode of afflication and a station of foolishness. Be on your guard from it.〔Translated in Suleiman Ali Mourad, ''Early Islam between myth and history'' (Brill, 2006), 128; from ''Khalwa'', 24.〕 ''Al-Khalwas argument elsewhere cites al-Hasan al-Basri. The above pericope was later transplanted into a fictional response by al-Hasan to 'Umar b. 'Abd al-Aziz.〔Mourad 128-9 cites Ibn Abi'l-Dunya, ''Dhamm al-dunya'', 146 #341; Ibn al-'Arabi quotes from that.〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Harith al-Muhasibi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
