12.18.1

ʿAḍud al-Dīn was a jurist, an imām, learned, of great standing, high repute and wide fame in his country. News of him reached the sultan and he heard of his merits, so he sent him ten thousand dīnārs in dirhams to his town of Shūnkāra, though he had never seen him nor had he ever come to him.
