Asalam Alaikum,

Have any of the Sufis/Awliyah written on the tawil (esoteric meaning) of events during the life of the Prophet (S) & events during the Rashidun Caliphate?

Answer:

Waalaykumussalam,

See the writings of Ibn `Arabi and also Ibn al-Nafis’s al-Risalat al-Kamiliyya fil-Sirat al-Nabawiyya, translated by some Orientalists as Theologus Autodidactus (The self-taught Theologian).
