Silsilat-al-nasab-i Safaviya

The Silsilat-al-nasab-i Safaviya, also spelled Selselat an-Nasab-e Safaviyye (Persian: سلسلة النسب صفویة, meaning Genealogy of the Safavid dynasty) was written by Sheikh Pir Husayn 'Abd az-Zahidi, a 17th-century descendant of Sheikh Zahed Gilani, during the reign of Shah Sulayman. This hagiography, in praise of the Safavid forebears, was devoted to the genealogy of Safavid Sufi masters.
