Abu Sa'id al-Kharraz

Abu Sa'id Ahmad ibn Isa al-Kharraz, the Baghdadi Sufi, named after the stitching of leather goods, who kept company with Dhu al-Nun al-Misri, al-Sari al-Saqati and Bishr al-Hafi; al-Sulami calls him the imam of the Sufis in every branch of their sciences, and he is said to have been the first to speak of the science of annihilation and subsistence (fana' and baqa'). He passed through Sidon on the Damascus coast in his wanderings, so Ibn Asakir gave him an entry in Tarikh Dimashq, gathering his sayings and reports on trust in God, self-watchfulness and long fasting. His death is put between 277 and 286 AH.
