In this extract from his reference work on the virtues of asceticism, contentment and their different states, al-Qurtubî explains the zuhd, a spiritual concept of the first importance and a central notion of Muslim spirituality which corresponds to the idea of renunciation of this lower world. Through this collection of wisdoms and quotations drawn from the Qur'ân and the ahâdîths, words of the pious predecessors, anecdotes and stories, the author seeks to transmit concepts embodied in concrete forms, through the living examples of generations of Muslims who preceded us – while evoking the rules of jurisprudence (fiqh) in the matter.
