摘要：Many Sufis appear in Ibn al-‛Arabī’s al-Futūhāt al-Makkiyya , a treatise in which the author puts forward his principal ideas. Abū Yazīd al-Bistāmī is mentioned in this work 143 times, more than any other Sufi. The present article seeks to examine Ibn al-‛Arabī’s attitude toward his Sufi predecessor by considering al-Bistāmi’s personality as it appears in Ibn al-‛Arabī, as well as Ibn al-‛Arabī’s views on al-Bistāmī’s Sufi practice, his presence as a model of moral conduct and his mystical philosophical notions. Ibn al-‛Arabī does not accept all the notions and statements expressed by al-Bistāmī. Sometimes he mitigates al-Bistāmi’s daring assertions and thus reveals his unfavorable attitude toward shatahāt . However, in some cases al-Bistāmī’s statements serve as corroboration for Ibn al-‛Arabī’s theses.
