Abstract

Publication of two unpublished documents from the Ayyubid period where the term faqīr (pl. fuqarā') is used, describing religious men respected for their asceticism and practicing voluntary poverty, which seems to be their main characteristic. The first archival piece, dated 612/1215, is an official testimony of this quality of profound poverty. It was required to back the claim of being “poor among the Muslim poor”. The second is a request addressed to a master by a member of the pious community of fuqarā' who claims a remuneration in the form of alms (ṣadaqāt).
