Abstract	:	Tadhkira and malfūẓāt have been the major genres of hagiography in South Asia . Tadhkira describes the saintly lives of Ṣūfīs in the tradition of works written in the Middle East and Central Asia, whereas malfūẓāt , the recorded discourses of a Ṣūfī master, evolved in India. The first Ṣūfī text written in South Asia, ʿAlī al-Hujwīrī’s (d. 465–9/1073–7) Kashf al-maḥjūb (“The revelation of the veiled”), contained biographical sketches of pious Muslims and Ṣūfīs, yet none of them had lived in India.
