Fragments of Qur'anic exegesis (in al-Sulami's Haqa'iq al-tafsir)
أقوال الحلاج في حقائق التفسير للسلمي
Short mystical interpretations of Qur'anic verses, scattered among those of other masters, that show al-Hallaj as an exegete: the inner reading of Scripture as God's dialogue with the heart. They are one of the channels by which his ideas survived in classical Sufism without his name being spoken aloud.
