• from Ambraseys (2009)

Al-Wahrani was a comrade of Nur ad-Din. He made full use of his talent for satire and another judge took his place. The matter was that of the qadi Mahmud ibn Yahla ibn Aflah al-Lakhami: It is because of his bad character that God sent the eclipse and terrorised us with the earthquake which obliged us to flee our homes. (Rasa’il, MS Dar al-Kutub, at Cairo, f. 11)
