Al-Qushayri joins Abu Ali al-Daqqaq's circle at Nishapur, c. 400/1009

Al-Qushayri's father died while he was a child, so he read letters and Arabic under Abu al-Qasim al-Yamani; he held a village near Ustuwa burdened with land-tax and came to Nishapur to learn enough revenue-work to protect it, when he chanced upon the assembly of Abu Ali al-Daqqaq, the preacher of his day — he relished his words and abandoned his plan, 'seeking the gown he found the Sufi cloak', and al-Daqqaq accepted him and pointed him to learning.
