Malamatiyya



The Malāmiyya (ملامتيه) are a category of persons, who, in the mystical branch of Islam, sometimes known as Sufism, represent, according to prominent Sufis like Ibn-al-'Arabi, the highest category of occulted or hidden Sufi Saint. They have also been associated with various splinter groups within Sufism that arose in Khorasan in the 9th century AD (2nd–3rd centuries AH), originally under the impetus of Hamdūn al-Qassār but this association only gives a partial understanding of individuals 'known' by this rank.
