al-Muḥāsibī (‘he who examines his conscience’), Abū ʿAbd Allāh Ḥārith (
c.781–857 (AH 165–243)).
Shāfiʿite theologian who turned to ascetic renunciation and moral purification, and is regarded as the first
Sunni mystic (
Sūfī) to organize a theologically systematic approach to God. He was a prolific writer, with about 200 works ascribed to him. His
Kitāb al-riʿāya li-ḥuqūq Allah (The Book of Observance of that which is Owed to God) is a book of spiritual advice, which includes the importance of self-examination (Arab.,
muḥāsaba), hence his name.
