Biographer
Muḥammad ibn al-Munavvar is mostly known for his work Asrār al-tawḥīd fī maqāmāt al-Šayḫ Abū Saʿīd .
Asrār al-tawḥīd fī maqāmāt al-Šayḫ Abū Saʿīd is a somewhat hagiographic biography of the great Sufi mystic Abū Saʿīd Fażl-Allāh ibn Abī al-Ḫayr Mayhanī (d. 440/1049, see Abū Sa'id) who was also an ancestor of the author. The work is “replete with anecdotes and sayings that reflect Abū Saʿīd’s vision of life and his style of Sufi teaching. Many of his miraculous deeds are recounted (a common feature of Islamic hagiographies), and his extraordinary penetration into other people’s minds is described”.
