ḲÁDIRÍ

which follows Shaykh Muḥyí'ddín Abdu'l Ḳádir Jíli. He was a Sayyid descended from Ḥusayn. Jíl is the name of a village near Baghdad. Some authorities state that he was from Jílán.* He was supreme in his time for his secular and spiritual knowledge. He received his dervish's habit from the hands of Abú Sạíd al-Mubárak (b. Ali al-Makhzúmí), and is thus spiritually connected with ash-Shiblí through four interme­diaries. His sanctity and extraordinary miracles are world-famed. He was born into the world in A. H. 471 (A. D. 1078), and bid farewell to it in A. H. 561 (A.D. 1165).
