   Ahmad Ibn Abd al-Qadir al-Rumi أحمد بن عبد القادر الرومي : Majalis al-abrar wa-masalik al-akhyar wa-mahayiq al-bida' wa-maqami' al-ashrar مجالس الأبرار ومسالك الأخيار ومحايق البدع ومقامع الأشرار. The author (died 1041/1631 or 1043/1634-35) wrote this book as an encouragement to religious life. It consists of 100 "sessions" (majalis); → the survey of chapters given in the description of Ms. Berlin 8845. Each session starts with a thematic tradition which is taken from al-Baghawi البغوي (died 516/1122 or later), Masabih al-sunna مصابيح السنة (on this Hadith-collection → GAL I 364 and S I 620) and which is extensively discussed. These discussions give a good idea of those books on tafsir, Hadith, law, dialectical theology and mysticism which were used at that time. On more mss. and on an old edition with Hindustani translation (Lucknow 1321/1903) → GAL II 445 and S II 661f. The text is collated; in the margin are some notes.
