Salih or Sayed Mohammad Salih is known in the history of Kurdish literature as Mir Salih Hassan Nimatullah of Kermanshah. Saleh was born in 1834 in the village of Mahidasht in Kermanshah and spent most of his life there. Salih took the name Hassan because he was a sayyid. He was a descendant of Hassan son of Ali son of Abu Talib. He spent his youth in Baghdad. He performed Hajj at the age of twenty-four and stayed in Mecca for seven years. He lived in Samarkand and Herat, and later moved to Mahan, where he spent a year there aged 25.
He died at the age of one hundred. The shrine in Mahan is the place of the holy monks and Sufis of Sufi sects, especially the Ni'matullahi sect. He was a great writer of poetry.
Sayyid Salih was still a young man who chose an introverted life and spent most of his time in the mosque. The era of self-creation and self-confidence in the poet's life was divided into two purposes. The first was to learn the sciences of Islam, and the second was to think about the infinite gates of Sufism.
In his youth, after learning some of the sciences of Islam and the secrets of Sufism, he went to Kashan to learn more about Sharia and Tariqat and met Sheikh Mohammad Hassan Kashan. He was one of the leaders of the Haqqah Nimatullah sect, also known as Abd Ali Shah.
After studying and receiving the necessary behavior lessons in this sect, Sayyid Salih received the license of the Ni'matullah sect from this sheikh. When his hopes come true and he achieves his goal, he wants to return to his country. He returned to Kermanshah, but not long after, he would return to Kashan and meets the Supreme Leader's Sheikh again.
In order to strengthen the spirit of Sufism in his heart and mind and cleanse his soul from all impurities, he went to Mashhad in Khorasan. After a while he returned to Kashan and asked the Grand Sheikh for permission to return to his homeland and become one of the leaders of the Ni'matullahi sect.
Sayyid Salih had his own monastery for more than thirty years. He led hundreds of people and spread the beliefs of the Haqqah Ni'matullah Tariqat. During his stay in his country, he visited the shrines of all Shiite Imams in Iraq. Sayed Salih died in 1905 and was buried in the public cemetery outside Faizabad village. This village is located in the southern part of Neyshabur and eastern Kashmar in the ninth province of Khorasan, Iran.[1]
