Question:

ما هو التصوف شيخنا الجليل بكل تفصيل حتى اذا سألك شخص يمكنك الجواب عليه ثم انى لدى اسئلة كثيرة غير ة هذا السؤال واسف على التطويل؟

Answer:

حد التصوف هو تخلية النفس  من الاخلاق الذميمة وتصفية القلب مما سوى الله تعالى على سىنة النبي صل الله عليه وسلم ووفقاً لعمل ومفهوم السلف الصالح. وتفصيله في رسالة المسترشدين للمحاسبي والرسالة القشيرية وكتب أخرى. وقد ذكر الإمام القشيري تعريفات له باعتبار العصور والأحوال في باب التصوف من رسالته يمكنكم أن تراجعوها.
