أبو محلم
أبو محلم
A dream-interpreter of al-Wathiq's court; he read the caliph's vision of al-murt — 'the barren waste where nothing grows, so none perishes upon God but whose heart is void of faith as the murt of growth' — then recited a hundred Arabic rhymes on the word by a hundred known poets and was granted a hundred thousand dirhams {cite:tarikh-khulafa-minhaj-1434 p. 533}.
