The early development of Sufism in Hamadān and its neighboring centers, namely Nahāwand2 and Abhar,3 can primarily be attributed to the Sufis from Baghdad.4 Furthermore, it is noteworthy that al-Junayd al-Baghdādī (d. 298/910), a pivotal figure in the spiritual lineage of numerous Sufi orders, was of Nahāwandī descent.5 The majority of Jibāl cities, including Hamadān, Nahāwand, and Rayy, were strategically located along the Silk Road, a vital trade route serving as the crossroads between the central hub of the Abbasid Caliphate in Iraq and the Khūrāsān region.	cache/ajiss-3210.pdf	txt/ajiss-3210.txt
