Abu Yazid al-Bistami

Persian Sufi mystic from Bistam — known as Bayazid — who produced the most extreme expressions of the experience of divine union in Islamic mysticism, including 'Glory be to me, how great is my majesty' — utterances that led to accusations of heresy and distinguished him as the founder of ecstatic (sukr) Sufism.
