13.49.1

It is related that he was once dismissed from the office of qāḍī. He had enemies, and one of them brought a claim before the qāḍī who was appointed after him that he owed him ten thousand dinars. He had no proof, and his aim was to make him take an oath. The qāḍī sent for him, and he said to his messenger: "For how much has he claimed against me?" He replied: "Ten thousand dinars." So he sent ten thousand to the qāḍī's court, and it was handed over to the claimant.
