الطواسين al-Ṭāwāsīn.

"His main work, the Ṭawāsin (ed. Massignon, 1913), consists of eleven reflective essays, in which he frequently employs line diagrams and cabbalistic symbols, in what seems to be a determined struggle to convey profound mystical experiences which he could not express in words." (Mojaddedi `ḤALLĀJ in EIr. - see above). Contains a section in which Satan is glorified, the “Ṭā-sin al-azal wa’l-Iltibās".
