| Lit. "The Green One." His name does not occur in the Qur'án, but most of the commentators identify him with the mysterious personage referred to in Qur'án 18:59–81. He is often referred to as having discovered and partaken of the fountain of life, and is called its custodian. He also symbolizes the true guide. "...he stands pre-eminently for the inner light of saintship as opposed to the intellectual, legalistic, and apostolic aspects of prophecy….Like the Ṣúfí Pír [murshid], he claims silent and unquestioning obedience to his authority...." (Nicholson, Commentary, 1, 25). |
