Journal Article 2018 10 14 Persian literature, and especially its mystical form, has a long history with the Holy Quran and hadith. Encountering the Qur'an and hadith, mystic writers and poets, in addition to their regular use of them, have taken an interpretive look at these sources and have sometimes deconstructed them. Attar Neishaburi is from this category. In addition to his interpretations of the Quran and hadiths in his various works, he has played a significant role in transmitting the interpretive views of prominent mystics by writing Tazkirat al-Awliyā. The mystics whom Attar refers to in Tazkirat al-Awliyā, have each sought their own interpretation of verses and hadiths, often presenting their ideas in ordinary, and in some cases secret terms. The present study aimed to review the Qur'anic and narrative interpretations of mystics introduced in Tazkirat al-Awliyā based on the hermeneutic theory and a descriptive-analytic method with attention to the Gerard Genette’s intertextuality approach. It sought to show manifestations of Attar's role in preserving and transmitting the mystical legacy of the mystics before him. The findings showed that interpretations can be divided into two types of word-based (lexical) and sentence-based (form-based). So, the mystics mentioned in Tazkirat al-Awliyā, in the face of various words such as Qibla, fade, worship, etc. and in dealing with the sentences like ‘Hasanat al Abrar Saeeate al Mogharabin’, ‘Al Jar o Som Al Dar’ and so on, have gone beyond the appearance of verses and hadiths and have begun to interpret them.
