التصوف في البصرة رابعة العدوية العاشقة الإلهية

Abstract EN

Praise be to Allah, and Allah bless Muhammad and his divine good.

The biography of Rabi'a has got many suspicions, by both narrators or Orientalists and who pursued them from Arab researchers.

But after reviewing the historical narrations and verified them from Al-jahiz's narration who was from basra (same city of Rabia ) as well as he was her contemporary so the study differentiates between Rabi'a Al-adwiyya which was from Ash-sham (Syria nowadays ).

One reason of this mixture between both of them is because of error in translation of book tittled (To the korat Alawlya) by Nicolson which led some Arab searchers to accuse Rabia in doing bad things as well as they gave her dramatic distorted character.
