Abstract :
Abu-Hasan Ali Ibn Othmaan Hojwiri (470) and Ahmad Ghazzaali (520), both arose from the same intellectual system and were both from the 'Ash'ari family. But their origins of consciousness are distinguished from each other. Thus, the territory of semantic implications and language use are different in their works – Kashf Al-Mahjub (the discovery of the Veiled) and Sawaaneh Al-Oshshaq (the Resumes of the Lovers). Ro'yat or Observation is a key and verbal term in Kashf Al-Mahjub which went under the metaphoric veil of Jamaal (beauty) by entering into Ghazzaali's spiritual discourse; and the transfer happened from reality to metaphor and from one-meaning to poly-meaning. Hojwiri discusses Observation clearly and barely, but Ghazzaali takes advantages from metaphoric use of Observation: Jamaal and visual cluster in it; that is, man, heart, sun, mirror etc. This paper deals with these two mystics' point of views about Observation and the style of which is reflected in the two texts-- KashfAlmahjuband Sawaaneh Al-Oshshaaq
