Qasida Adab al-Tariq 
by Sheikh Abu Madyan al-Ghauth 
Translated by Vincent J. Cornell in "The way of Abu Madyan"

What delight is there in life other than the companionship of the fuqara?
They are the sultans, lords, and princes.

So befriend them and learn the ways of their assemblies,
And keep your obligations, even if they ignore you.
 
Profit from (your) time and participate always with them,
And know that (Divine) satisfaction distinguishes one who is present.
 
Make silence obligatory unless you are questioned, then say:
'No knowledge have I', and conceal yourself with ignorance.
 
Regard not any fault, but that acknowledged within yourself
As a manifest, clearly apparent fault, though it be concealed.
 
Lower your head and seek forgiveness without  (apparent) cause,
And stand at the feet of Justice, making excuses (in your own behalf).
 
If a fault appears in you, acknowledge it, and direct
Your pleas toward that within you which comes from you.
 
Say: 'Your slaves are more worthy (than ourselves) of your forgiveness,
So excuse us and be kind to us, oh fuqara!'
 
By giving preference to others thay are exalted, for it is in their nature,
So do not fear that they will punish or harm you.
 
And in magnanimity toward the brothers be forever limitless,
Out of feeling or understanding, and avert your gaze if one of them stumbles.
 
Observe the shaykh attentively in his states, for perhaps
A trace of his approval will be seen upon you.
 
Display earnestness and be eager in his service;
Perhaps he will be pleased, but beware lest you see annoyance.
 
For in his satisfaction is that of the Creator and obedience toward Him,
He has granted you His good pleasure, so beware lest you forsake it!
 
(Know) that the Way of the Folk is (now) decadent,
And that the state of the one who preaches it today is as you see.
 
When shall I see (the true Folk og God), and how am I to have sight of them,
Or my ear hear news of them?
 
How can I or one like me dispute with them
Over spiritual experiences about which I am not familiar?
 
I love them, am courteous to them, and follow them
With my innermost soul- especially one person among them .
 
They are a folk noble in character; wherever they sit,
That place remains fragrant from their traces.
 
Sufism guides one quickly by means of their conduct;
A fitting harmony is theirs, delightful to my sight.
 
They are my loved obes, my family, who
Are among those who proudly hold up the Helms of Glory.
 
I am united with them still, brought together in God,
And through Him our transgressions are pardoned and forgiven.
 
So (may) blessings (be) upon the Chosen One, our Lord
Muhammad, the best of those who fulfill their vows.

قصيدة ما لذة العيش

About the Author Ibn al-Nahwi

He is Yusuf bin Muhammad bin Yusuf, Abul Fadl known as Ibn al-Nahwi al-Tawzari.  He was born in Tawzar in the southern Yunisa in the year 1042 Hijri.  He studied with a number of the scholars of his time not least the jurists (fuqaha) such as Abul Hasan al-Lakhami, his Shaykh al-Ma’zari and likewise al-Shaqratasi.  

After Abul Fadl completed his travels in the pursuit of knowledge he returned to his hometown of Tawzar, but had to leave it due to the oppression of the ruler of that place.  He therefore lived in different cities of Algeria and Morrocco teaching grammar, jurisprudence, principles of law, tenents of faith whilst at the same time traversing the path of self purification and abstinence.

His students included Qadi Musa bin Hammad al-Sanhaji, Abu Muhammad Abdullah bin Suleiman al-Taharti and Ibn al-Ramamah the Mufti of Fes.

He was known for his piety and became well known for his mastery of jurisprudence.  Along with this efficacy of his supplications (dua) was attested to such that it was said by some:  I seek refuge in Allah from the supplication of Ibn al-Nahwi!

The Story of Qasidah al-Munfarijah

After his leaving his hometwon of Tawzar he headed towards Algeria and stayed in the Masjid of Bani Hammad in Masaylah.  A man there complained to him of his suffering from his having to flee from the oppressor of his homeplace and requested him to raise the issue with the oppressor so that he may permit him to return.  He said:

لبست ثوب الرّجا والناس قد رقدوا……وقمت أشكوالى مولاي ما أجــــدُ
وقلت يا ســـــــيدي يا منتهى أملي……يا من عليه بكشف الضّـــرّ أعتمدُ
أشكو اليك أمورا أنـــــــت تعلمها……مالي على حمـــلها صبرٌ ولا جلَدُ
وقد مددتُ يدي للضّـــــــرّ مشتكيا……الـــــــيك يا خير من مُدّت اليـه يدُ

The ruler saw a dream which troubled him and resulted him in halting his acts of oppression whilst admitting to his sins.  He instructed that this mans wealth be returned because he saw in his dream the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) who said:  Send to Abul Fadl bin al-Nahwi in the masjid known as such in Algeria, and carry out what he orders.  The Khalifah did this and sent someone in search of him.

When he entered and found him he said:  What is your need O Abul Fadl?    He infomed him of his order and wrote for him to return of all that he had been informed about.

Then he was asked:  What is yor means with the Messenger of Allah?
He then informed him of his poem:
