Saadi is nicknamed "Musharraf al-Din", known as "Sheikh Saadi" or "Sheikh Shiraz".
There is a lot of controversy about the name and name of the poet's father, as well as the date of Saadi's birth.
His year of birth is estimated to be between 571 and 606 AH, and his date of death is 690 to 695.
Saadi came into being in Shiraz and was still a child when his father died. What is certain is that most of his family members were people of science, religion and knowledge.
Saadi himself says in this regard:
All my tribes were religious scholars ------- I was taught by your love teacher, a poet.
After studying the basics of science , Saadi went from Shiraz to Baghdad and completed his knowledge in the military school. .
He attended the lectures of famous professors such as Suhrawardi at the Baghdad Military Academy, which is considered the most important center of science and knowledge at that time.
After this period, Saadi went to Hejaz, Sham and Syria and finally went on a pilgrimage.
He also gave lectures in the cities of Syria (modern-day Syria), but at the same time, as a result of these trips, he added to his experience and knowledge.
Saadi returned to Shiraz during the reign of Atabak Abu Bakr ibn Sa'd, and at the same time created two immortal works, Bustan and Golestan, and named them Atabak and his son Sa'd ibn Abu Bakr.
Some believe that he also took the title of Saadi from the same name "Sa'd ibn Abu Bakr".
After the overthrow of the Seljuk government, Saadi left Shiraz again and went to Baghdad and Hejaz.
On his return to Shiraz, although he was respected by the elders of Persia, he took refuge in solitude and became austerity.
Saadi was a jihadist poet, a tourist, and a seeker of distant lands; He hears stories from kings and spends time with them.
He knew their cruelty and generosity well and sometimes gave them their gifts. He accompanied the lovers, the heroes, the claimants, the sheikhs, the Sufis, and Randan to algebra and free will, and linked the youth of his youth to the experience of frequent travels to the maturity of old age.
Saadi's travels were not only a search for diversity, knowledge, and awareness of various customs and cultures, but each trip was also a spiritual experience.
The tradition of Islamic Sufism has always been based on the mystic's behavior in the world of horizons and souls, and the seeker is a traveler who must travel in both valleys, that is, a journey inside and a journey outside.
Saadi's entry into the circle of Sheikh Shahab al-Din Suhrawardi himself is proof of this.
The result of these trips for the poet, in addition to spiritual and worldly experiences, was a multitude of narratives, stories and observations that were rooted in the reality of life, as each Golestan story opens a window to life and it is as if each of its phrases is after thousands. Experience and experimentation are expressed in a certain way. It is as if every anecdote is the product of the world of practical experience before it is dependent on the world of imagination and thought.
Perhaps one of the most important factors in the pleasantness of Saadi's advice among the common people and their properties is that they are objective. However, their tone of voice and artistic expression also play a major role in perpetuating this type of work.
On the other hand, according to Saadi's own narration, the creation of eternal works such as Golestan and Bustan in a few months shows the treasure of this great poet's knowledge, ability, social, mystical and literary experiences.
In addition to being an extract and abstract of his mystical, social and educational thoughts and reflections, Saadi's works are a mirror of the characteristics, temperament and character of an old nation and therefore will never lose its glory and splendor.
Characteristics of Saadi's works
What is more famous than any other feature of Saadi's works is that they are "easy and restrained."
This adjective means that the poems and texts of Saadi's works seem "easy" and simple at first glance, and do not have hard and incomplete words.
Over the centuries, all readers have easily come in contact with these works.
But Saadi's works, on the other hand, are "abstained" and the word "abstained" here means difficult and inaccessible.
When it is said that Saadi's poetry is "easy and restrained", it means that at first glance, everyone can easily understand his works, but when he wants to speak because he speaks, he understands that this is hard and difficult work and an unattainable goal.
Some of the other features of Saadi's works are:
grammatical
points The grammatical points in Saadi's works have been observed in the most correct way possible.
The element of weight and music does not lead to the disappearance or reversal of the grammatical structure in the sentences, and Saadi manages to do so in the most delicate and natural way possible in tone and language, despite the narrowness of the weight.

Ijaz
Ijaz means to summarize or to extract poetry from redundant and additional words.
Avoiding useless phrases that not only play a special role in the overall structure of the poem but also reduce the beauty of the word, Saadi plays a special role in the poem and the word.
On the other hand, this brevity, which is ultimately beautiful, leads to subtle imaginary and lyrical exaggerations and makes the language of poetry richer.
In Saadi's poetry, no word is added or subtracted without a reason.

brevity Saadi, brevity It is not empty and light, but full of thoughts and pain.
In the following two anecdotes from Golestan, it is clear how much of Saadi's meaning is included in the
story: Anecdote: He saw a pious kingdom and said, "Do you remember any of us?" "Yes, when I forget God," he said.
Anecdote: One of the unjust kings asked the pious: "Which is more virtuous than worship?" He said, "You will not sleep until you need a breath of the people."
