Abul-Majd Majdud ibn Adam Sanai Ghaznavi

Abul-Majd Majdud ibn adam Sanai al-Ghaznavī (ابوالمجد مجدود بن آدم سنایی غزنوی), commonly known as Ḥakīm Sanāʾī, was an influential Persian poet and mystical writer associated with Ghazna. He is regarded as an important early figure in the development of Persian Sufi didactic poetry, combining poetic expression with discussions of spiritual discipline, ethics, divine knowledge, love, reason, and the mystical path. His best-known work, Ḥadīqat al-Ḥaqīqa wa Sharīʿat al-Ṭarīqa (حدیقة الحقیقة و شریعة الطریقة), became an important work of Persian mystical literature and influenced later Persian Sufi poetry.
