Summary
Al-Qushayri's wanderings in the ordeal reached Baghdad, where he came before the caliph al-Qa'im bi-amr Allah and was received with favour: a session was held for him in the caliph's own residence, in his presence and under his eye, and a decree of honour was issued for him — the Encyclopaedia of Islam dates al-Qa'im's commission to teach hadith in the palace to 448/1056 1 2.
