Abstract

Renunciation in Islam found differing expressions in various literary genres. In the 2nd/8th and early 3rd/9th-century Kutub al-Zuhd, hadith collections on piety and renunciatory practices, we have the traditionists' view on how and what should be renounced, at times resembling late antique Christian asceticism at others displaying a distinct Islamic understanding and practice of renunciation.
