Nota:
Uways al-Qarani foi um contemporâneo do Profeta Mohammed. Embora os dois jamais se encontraram pessoalmente, Uways recebeu instruções e transmissões do Profeta e vários dizeres do Profeta comprovam este fato (por exemplo, Sahih Muslim, c.55). No Sufismo, o termo uwaysi é utilizado para descrever uma conexão espiritual através da qual o estudante recebe instruções de um Sheykh falecido (ou, em alguns casos, do Profeta Mohammed).
