Al-Muhasibi (781–857) was the founder of the Baghdad School of Islamic philosophy, and a teacher of the Sufi masters Junayd al-Baghdadi and Sari al-Saqti . His full name is Abu Abdullah Harith bin Asad al-Basri. He was born in Basra in 781. It was his characteristic property. He was a founder of Sufi doctrine, and influenced many subsequent theologians, such as al-Ghazali . He wrote many books about theology and Tasawwuf (Sufism), among them Kitab al-Khalwa and Kitab al-Ri`aya li-huquq Allah ("Obeying God's Permits"). In al-Khalwa , in a discourse on fear and hope: Know that the first thing that corrects you and helps you correct others is renouncing this world. But you will find your soul worthier of honour by ridiculing this world. This world is abhorred of God almighty and the messengers. It is an abode of afflication and a station of foolishness. Be on your guard from it. The above pericope was later transplanted into a fictional response by al-Hasan to 'Umar b. 'Abd al-Aziz. Translated in Suleiman Ali Mourad, Early Islam between myth and history (Brill, 2006), 128; from Khalwa , 24. Mourad 128-9 cites Ibn Abi'l-Dunya, Dhamm al-dunya , 146 #341; Ibn al-'Arabi quotes from that.
