Abi Mohammed Salih

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Abi Mohammed Salih or Abou Mohammed Saleh ibn Yansaran ibn Gafiyan Adoukkali Almaghri (1153-1234) is a Sufi leader from Morocco. He is the patron saint of Safi and lived during the reign of the Almohad dynasty. The ribat in Safi, where Abou Mohammed was buried, continued to play an important role until the end of the 15th century. One of Salih's teachers was Abu Abdallah Mohammed Amghar from El Jadida. There remains but one written work by Almaghri, 'Bidayat al Mourid', a book on Tassawuf and the lifes of certain sufi saints like al-Maghri's teacher Abu Madyan.
