Abstract (2. Language):
Qushayri is one of the important Sufis of 11th century. He wrote a number of books about
Sufism including Risâlah and Latâif al-ishârât, the last of which has been seen as one of the
great esoteric commentaries of the Holy Qur’an. There is another treatise of his, called Nahv
al-Qulūb (or al-Nahv al-muawwal), in which he interprets the rules of Arabic grammar from a
Sufi perspective. This interesting treatise is like a bridge between Sufism and the Arabic
philology. It is a well-known fact that the basic sciences of Islam (‘ulum ash-shar‘iyya) including
Sufism were closely knit together. However, the relationship of Sufism to Arabic philology is
not very well documented by both classical and contemporary writers. This treatise, which
seems to be early work in this respect, focuses on this particular subject. This paper shall
analyze the content of this treatise and try to explain some of the concepts used in it.
