Abstract
Tra le correnti più antiche della storia del Sufismo, i Malāmatiyya sono in
particolare coloro che seguono “La Via del Biasimo” e che nel loro comportamento agiscono
in modo da non lasciare nessuna traccia della propria attitudine spirituale tra la gente che
li circonda. Secondo Abū ‘Abd al-Raḥmān Al-Sulamī essi erano un gruppo di asceti che
vivevano nella città di Nīšāpūr alla fine del IX secolo: molti autori dicono che uno dei più
importanti appartenenti a questa scuola fosse stato Bayazīd al-Bisṭāmī (m. 874). Nel XIII secolo
i Ḫwājaġān, una corrente diffusa ampiamente nell’Asia centrale durante l’epoca del dominio
dei mongoli Chagatay, praticavano una ritualità molto simile a quella dei Malāmatiyya di
Nīšāpūr, basata sulla “menzione del Nome di Dio in segreto” (ḏikr-i ḫafī) e sulla “solitudine tra
la folla” (ḫalwat dar anjoman). Due di questi Ḫwājaġān furono i maestri di Ḫwāja Bahā’uddīn
Naqšband (m. 1389). I temi e la pratica della “Via del Biasimo” riappaiono nella tradizione
naqšbandī e acquistano profondità e solidità dottrinale nell’opera di Šayḫ Aḥmad Sirhindī (m.
1625) il “Rinnovatore del secondo millennio” dell’Islām (muǧaddid-i alf-i ṯānī).
Among the oldest currents in the history of Sufism, the Malāmatiyya are especially those who follow “The Path of Blame” and who in their behaviour act in such a way as to leave no trace of their spiritual attitude among the people around them. According to Abū ‘Abd al-Raḥmān Al-Sulamī, they were a group of ascetics who lived in the town of Nīšāpūr at the end of the 9th century: many authors say that one of the most important members of this school was Bayazīd al-Bisṭāmī (m. 874). In the 13th century the Ḫwājaġān, a current widespread in Central Asia during the era of the rule of the Chagatay Mongols, practiced a rituality very similar to that of the Malāmatiyya of Nīšāpūr, based on the “mention of the Name of God in secret” (ḏikr- i ḫafī) and on “solitude in the crowd” (ḫalwat dar anjoman). Two of these Ḫwājaġān were the masters of Ḫwāja Bahā’uddīn Naqšband (d. 1389). The themes and the practice of the “Way of Blame” reappear in the naqšbandī tradition and acquire doctrinal depth and solidity in the work of Šayḫ Aḥmad Sirhindī (d. 1625), the “Renewer of the Second Millennium” of Islam (muǧaddid-i alf-i ṯānī).
