This article represents a preliminary inquiry into a little known and understudied commentarial tradition upon ʿAbd Allāh al-Anṣārī’s classic work on the stations of Sufism, the Manāzil al-sāʾirīn (Stations of the Wayfarers). After briefly taking stock of the considerably late commentarial tradition which this important text engendered, we will take as our case study one of the Manāzil ’s key topics, namely its sixty-first chapter on the station of love. This pivotal section on love gives profound insight into early Sufism and into the minds of two of its greatest exponents. Anṣārī discusses the station of love in detail, as he does with every chapter, in three aspects, each pertaining to the three types of wayfarers: the initiates, the elect, and the foremost of the elect. Then, we shall turn our attention to perhaps the most important Sufi commentary upon this work by an important follower of the school of Ibn al-ʿArabī, ʿAbd al-Razzāq Kāshānī, offering a guided reading of his commentary upon Anṣarī’s chapter on love in the Manāzil. A complete English translation of this chapter will be offered and appropriately contextualized.

本文是对uponAbdAllāhal-Anṣārī在苏菲派驻地Manāzilal-sāʾirīn（行者驻地）上的经典著作的鲜为人知且未被研究的评论传统的初步探究。在简要回顾了这一重要文本所产生的相当晚的评论传统之后，我们将以马纳齐尔为例进行案例研究的主要主题，即关于爱情的第六十一章。这个关于爱情的关键部分对早期苏菲派及其两个最伟大代表的思想提供了深刻的见解。Anṣārī在每一章中都从三个方面详细讨论了爱情的站位，每个方面都涉及三种行人：同修，选民和最重要的选民。然后，我们将注意力转移到伊本·阿拉比（Ibnal-rabArabī）学校的重要追随者ʿ阿卜杜勒·拉扎克·卡沙尼（Abdal-RazzāqKāshānī）的著作上，这可能是最重要的苏菲评论，对他对安那拉利关于爱的章节的评论进行指导阅读马纳齐尔。将提供本章的完整英文翻译，并提供适当的背景信息。
