A certain scholar from the lands of Persia came to him and presented him with books of philosophy, among them al-Shifāʾ of Ibn Sīnā \[1\]. It happened that when he stood before him and presented it to him, a splendid load of precious jewels had been brought to \[the Sultan\], and he scooped out a handful of it and gave it to him; it was worth twenty thousand mithqāls of gold, besides the rest of what he bestowed on him. - [Previous: 2.88](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.mawsua.masalik-al-absar~en-mt.2.88) - [Next: 2.90](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.mawsua.masalik-al-absar~en-mt.2.90) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.mawsua.masalik-al-absar~en-mt.2) ## Translations (1) - [Masáliku-l Absár (extracts)](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.mawsua.masalik-al-absar~en-elliot.1.11) — Henry Miers Elliot & John Dowson 1871, English ## Linked texts (1) - [مسالك الأبصار في ممالك الأمصار](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.mawsua.masalik-al-absar.2.89) — Ibn Faḍl Allāh al-ʿUmarī, Arabic --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.mawsua.masalik-al-absar~en-mt.2.89](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.mawsua.masalik-al-absar~en-mt.2.89) · Pramāṇa
