Abstract :
Abu Sa'id Abu al-Khair, as a humane mystic, in spite of the violent behaviors of the legislators of his time, by influencing a spiritual guide and using unconventional and creative methods, without causing annoyance to anyone, commands the good and forbids the bad. It paid for and prevented many anomalies and corruptions. What is examined as the main issue in this article is how Abu Sa'id's practical commitment to this religious duty was fulfilled, despite his tolerance on the one hand, and his reproachful approach on the other, and In the ways that he used to perform this duty, was the commandment of the good and the prohibition of the evil done in the specific jurisprudential sense or in the general sense? What emerged from the studies was that the main method of Abu Sa'id in the use of slang and the prohibition of the use of slang was in accordance with the intellectual and cultural capacities of the people of his time, and he according to the individual differences and spiritual characteristics of individuals. Instead of verbal invitation and direct preaching, he indirectly and indirectly corrects and educates people. In this way, in a paradoxical way, by not engaging in enjoining what is good, he causes "enjoining what is good and forbidding it was denied.
