Question:
I was always told that the chain was unbroken because a student always had a physical teacher. But how can it be that Abu al-Hassan al-Kharaqani rahmatullah `alayh was a student in tasawwuf to Tayfur Abu Yazid al-Bistami rahmatullah `alayh? 89 years between.
Answer:
See “Refutation to Claims that the Naqshbandi Golden Chain has Broken Links.”
