Overview
Al-Salabi says that the envoy of the ruler of Mecca, Muhammad ibn Abi Hashim, came in 462 AH to the sultan Alp Arslan. He told him that the sermon was being given in Mecca for the Abbasid caliph al-Qa'im and for the sultan himself, that the sermon of the Fatimid caliph had been dropped, and that the call to prayer "hasten to the best of deeds" had been left out. 2
The sultan's gift
The sultan gave him thirty thousand dinars, and said that if the amir of Medina did the same he would give him twenty thousand dinars. Al-Salabi places this in the context of Alp Arslan's campaign to unite the Muslim world under the banner of the Abbasid caliphate. 2
