The term ‘malfuzat’ refers to the recorded discourses, conversations, and sayings of Sufi saints or leaders. These are essentially oral teachings and discussions preserved in written form by their disciples or attendees.
Malfuzat literature is a key source for understanding the thoughts, practices, and lives of individual Sufis and their interactions with their followers and society. They often contain anecdotes, interpretations of religious texts, ethical advice, and details about the daily life of the Sufi master and his khanqah (hospice).
