Rabia al-Adawiyya → Rabia Basri — She is more commonly known as Rabia Basri. — Hamza ^{[ talk ]} 23:09, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Another common usage is Rabia al-Basri. But Rabia al-Adawiyya is definitely the inappropriate title for this article.— Hamza ^{[ talk ]} 23:20, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Saint?[edit]

I am confused with the notion of "Muslim Saint" in this article. The mainstream Islam does not recognize anyone as Saint, see saint. I suggest to remove the word saint from the article. Taha bahadori (talk) 21:21, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Seems to be used here: Wali. -Jooojay (talk) 17:49, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sufism refers to saints. What is "mainstream Islam"? Sunni or Shia? Islam maybe isn't as fractured as Christianity but it has more than one "stream." Pascalulu88 (talk) 21:15, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

error in last anecdote?[edit]

The last anecdote says:

Rabia said, "You traversed it in ritual prayer (Salat) but with personal supplication."

I can't find the source of this story, but should the "with" possibly be "without"? It does not make much sense to me as it stands. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mkkuhner (talk • contribs) 22:27, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Citations added[edit]

I have added substantial reference citations to the article. Please check if the 'additional citations' claim should still be here.

Rabia Basri → Rabi'a al-'Adawiyya – This page has been moved to Rabia Basri a few years ago, which I think was inappropriate. First, standard sources such as Brill's Encyclopedia of Islam 2nd ed and Annemarie Schimmel's Mystical Dimensions of Islam don't mention the form Rabia Basri. Secondly, Rabia Basri is ungrammatical in Arabic (Basri is the masculine form). As far as I can tell, Rabia Basri is the form used in South Asia, which makes it a bad choice for an article about a woman from Basra. Eperoton (talk) 22:18, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Factual issues in article[edit]

I study women in Islam. There are a number of factual issues in this article. It cannot be known from her name whether she is Arab or not. This is a debate.

Faridudin Attar essentially just made things up about Rabia and is not a reliable source. He was writing spiritual stories, not a scholarly endeavor. Rabia could not have known Hasan al-Basri because she was far younger than him. The earliest sources (like al-Sulami) do not have her as an associate to Hasan al-Basra. Margaret Smith made a number of errors because she did not have access to al-Sulami's work on Sufi women or al-Jawzi's Sifat al-Safwa.

Rabi basri[edit]

Rābiʿa al-ʿAdawiyya al-Qaysiyya (Arabic: رابعة العدوية القيسية) (714/717/718 — 801 CE)[1] was an Arab Muslim saint and Sufi mystic.[2] She is known in some parts of the world as Hazrat Rabia Basri, Rabia Al Basri or simply Rabia Basri.[3] 2405:201:C00E:F1F8:A001:16E4:5107:3CE5 (talk) 14:14, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
