Hidāyat al-sālikīn fī sulūk maslak al-muttaqīn, in Malay in Jawi script.
A MS from Aceh.
Hidāyat al-sālikīn fī sulūk maslak al-muttaqīn, ‘A guide for travellers on the path of those who fear God’, by Abdul Samad of Palembang (‘Abd al-Ṣamad al-Falimbānī, ca. 1704-1789), is a Malay adaptation of Bidāyat al-hidāya, ‘Beginning of guidance’, by Abū Ḥāmid Muḥammad al-Ghazālī (ca. 1058-1111). The text deals with a number of subjects pertaining to dogmatics, sharī‘a and other matters in a somewhat mystical way. Hidāyat al-sālikīn was completed in Mecca on 5 Muharram 1192 (3 February 1778).
According to the colophon on f.148r this MS belonged to Teungku Busangan who had married the daughter of Teungku Abdul Rahman, who was of Ottoman extraction (saudara bani ‘Uthmaniyyah), and was copied by Teungku Haji Hasyim ibn Abdul Rahman Patani in negeri l.m.s.y.n (Lamsin or Le Masin, in Aceh) on 4 Rabiulawal 1197 (9 February 1783).
This is the oldest known dated copy of this work.
