Reports of al-Hallaj
أخبار الحلاج (Akhbar al-Hallaj)
About fifty pieces: prayers spoken in public, short sermons, dialogues with disciples and the account of his last days, with the prayer in which he asks God to forgive those about to kill him "out of zeal for Your religion". It is the main source for his preaching and the basis of later hagiographical versions of his death.
