The Hilyat al-Awliya' is recognized as one of the most important sources for the early development of Sufism,
Abridgement
Ibn al-Jawzi criticized the author for including the Companions of the Prophet, so then he went on to make his own version of book in two volumes entitled Sifat al-Safwa; in it, he attempts to avoid the words using "Sufi" or "Tasawwuf."[6]
Reception
Al-Dhahabi said: "We have never written such a book as Hilyat al-Awliya'".[7]
It was related that Hilyat al-Awliya was among one of Imam Taqi al-Din al-Subki's favourite books.[6]
