He left Shãh 'Alam because that prince declined to listen to his good advice. He was the most learned man in the empire, always occupied in writings which were approved by the other learned men of that time. He composed a new work drawn from the Old Testament and the Evangelists. It was composed with his special acuteness of mind, forming a volume of considerable size. When it was finished, my friend Qãzí Mīr prayed for leave from Aurangzeb to travel to Mecca, since no one can be refused this, as it is a pilgrimage. On his arrival there he showed his book to the principal learned man of the Mahomedan faith, who is called the Xerif (Sharif). He collected all the most famous men of learning for the examination of Qãzí Mīr's opinions, and to decide whether it was right to lay them before the public. After some months spent in examination, all of them with one accord said openly that what Qãzí Mīr had written was correct. The verdict was attested by the principal men — the Sharif and the other learned men of Mecca — with their seals and signatures. - [Previous: 339.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.339.14) - [Next: 340.1.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.340.1.2) - [Up: 340.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.340.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.340.1.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.340.1.1) · Pramāṇa
