Abu Al Fazal Abdul Wahid Yemeni Tamimi is often associated with
Abu Bakr Shibli, a sufi of Persian descent. This is probably because he looked to
Abu Bakr Shibli's teachings for guidance although he gave
Bayatat (oath of allegiance) to his father Abdul Aziz bin Harith bin Asad
al-Tamimi from whom he was given the Sufi
khirqa (the initiatory cloak of the
Sufi chain of spirituality). Muhaddith
Shah Waliullah Dehlawi is reported to have said, "Abdul Wahid at-Tamimi wore the khirqa from both ‘Abdul Aziz al-Tamimi and Abu Bakr Shibli. This is reflected in many of the authentic chains of spiritual transmission." Abu Al Fazal Abdul Wahid Yemeni Tamimi spent most of his life guiding people often while travelling . Amongst his various disciples, his prominent khalifah (successor) was Mohammad Yousaf Abu-al-Farrah Turtoosi.
