Molla Hadi Sabzavari (1797–1873) was a famous Iranian Shi'ite Muslim philosopher, mystic, theologian and poet.
In
1836-37, Sabzavari established a center for the
study of Islamic philosophy and gnosis in Sabzavar. The school he established rivaled with
the schools of Tehran and Isfahan due to his personality. This school became
known as Madrasa-ye Ḥāji, where part of it still survives till this day. Scholars and
students began to flock from all over Persia, Iraq, Turkey, Caucasus, India and
even Tibet. His name became widespread all over Iran so much
so that in 1857-158, when Naser-al-Din Shah Qajar made a pilgrame to Mashhad, he stopped in Sabzavar and paid a visit to hakim
Sabzavari. The Qajar King became very impressed by the
philosopher and asked his royal photographer Aqa Reza 'Akkas-Bashi to
photograph the hakim. The picture, which is widely available, is the oldest
picture of an Islamic philosopher. The Qajar king also requested from him a
book in Persian containing the complete theory and cycle of traditional
philosophy. Sabzavari obliged and composed the two Persian books: the Asrāral-ḥekam, which he dedicated to Naser al-Din Shah and also another
book titled Hedāyat al-ṭālebin.
Sabzavari died in 1872. The date
of his death is recorded in several chronographs, including the numerical value
of the couplet: keh namord zendatar
shud ("He did not die but became
more alive after his passing") which was composed by one of his students.
