A first-person narrative attributed to Maḥrūz b. Nājiya al-Ruṣāfī set during the reign of the Abbasid caliph al-Wāthiq (r. 842–47). There is a parallel version attributed to Wahb b. Nājiya al-Ruṣāfī in Nūr al-Ṭarf wa-Nūr al-Ẓarf by al-Ḥuṣrī al-Qayrawānī (d. 1095) (https://shamela.ws/book/5351/42), in praise of the hospitality and culture of Bedouins. The narrator explains that he was among those accused of embezzling state funds under the reign of al-Wāthiq and was forced to flee to the wilderness.

2942LetterENA 4100.10
Primary language
Judaeo-Arabic
The addressee's cousin ʿAbd al-Raḥīm (the father of Naṣrallāh and the husband of the woman whom Ṣadaqa had insulted) got up together with ʿAbd al-Raḥīm al-Shurayṭī, and they vehemently objected that a person who curses elders could ever read the Torah in the synagogue. Ṣadaqa then verbally abused them ("half of your prayers are heresy, you ass. . . .") and did the same to the others who confronted him (al-Melammed, al-Ḥakīm, his father and maternal uncle). […] The writer asks the addressee not to show this letter to Ibn al-Melammed, and also to take it with him to Cairo.
