“In society he held converse preferably with the learned or
listened to the tales of travelers who congregated in this commercial city.
This is why he was generally considered to be one of the followers of Taríqat
who were held in high esteem by the people.” (Journal Asiatique, 1866, tome 7,
p. 335.)
