78.1.6

“Say O Huma, never cast thy glorious shadow on a land Where the parrot is less esteemed than the kite.” And His Highness the Qazi Abu-l-Ma‘ali, the son-in-law of His Highness the Prince of Bukhara, also, who was a master-builder in legal science, and a second glory of the Imams, and in the Derwish order was one whose words and direction were followed, and who after paying the 5 customary prayers, used to make a practice of reading the Qur’an aloud, came; and the compiler of this epitome read a few lessons in the beginning of the Sharhi-Waqayah with auspicious and blessed results in the presence of that great man. And Naqib Khan, also, had the good fortune to study under him, and verily, he was a wondrous precious person and blessed (the mercy of God be upon him!)
