Abstract

Ibn Ḫaldūn devotes part of the sixth book of his Muqaddima to Sufism in addition to a work - Šifā᾿ al-sā᾿il - devoted entirely to this discipline. The place occupied by this science - which often appears to share a field with magic - is determined by the Khaldunian epistemological model, and the condemnation of certain doctrines and practices related to it has a social and political dimension beyond the purely heretical characterisation. His work offers us a glimpse into the Sufism of his time, among whose figures the Granada-born Ibn al-Ḫaṭīb, with whom he had a close friendship, stands out. Based on his Muqaddima, Ta‛rīf and Šifā᾿ we will try to elucidate his opinion about the Sufism professed by the vizier from Granada.
