Abdelaziz al-Tebaa

Abdelaziz al-Tebaa

Abdelaziz al-Tebaa or Sidi Abdelaziz ibn Abdelhaq Tabbaa al-Hassani (d. 1499) was the founder of the first sufi zawiyya of the Jazuli order in Marrakesh. The principles of Sidi al-Tabaa ultimately go back to Abu Madyan, as outlined in his book "Bidayat al-murid" ("Basic principles of the Sufi path"), a compilation by Abu Mohammed Salih al-Majiri (d.631/1216). At-Tabba frequently travelled to Fez, where he gave lectures on Sufism and led recitations of Dala'il al-Khayrat at the madrasa al-Attarin. In Fez, he also initiated Sidi Ali Salih al-Andalusi (d. 903/1488), a refugee from Granada and author of "Sharh rahbat al-aman", who founded the second zawiya of the Jazouliya in Fez. At-Tabaa is also well-known as one of the Sabatu Rijal, the seven saints of Marrakesh. His tomb is visited by many pilgrims throughout the year. He was succeeded by Sidi al-Ghazwani.
