Abu al-Su'ud Ahmad b. al-Mubarak the ascetic of the Haram; a druggist till God set him aright — he cut himself off to God and kept the company of Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani, and marvels are told of him. He would not eat till fed, drink till given drink, wear a garment till it was put round his neck, nor speak but in answer, keeping always to purity and facing the qibla. A roof fell on him and a beam broke the heads of his ribs, yet he did not stir till his companions lifted it off; he lived twenty more years with no one knowing his ribs were broken — they found them so on the washing slab. He died in 582 ¹.
