My father just informed that me that that Suyuti became Shi'a towards the end, but its not widely known. When i asked him what the proof is, he said that those close to him knew that, and that it is obvious from his latest books. Anyhow, its not sourced, so i cant add it to the article. --Striver 18:17, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Exaggerated praise?

"He was modest, kind, righteous, fearful of Allah, satisfied with what sustenance he received from his scholastic life. And he would not extend his eyes out to anyone. The leaders and rich people would go to visit him and would present him with valuable wealth, but he would return it to them."

The first sentence seems definitely out of place in an encyclopedia that strives to be objective, as those aren't exactly facts. The latter bit could be true, but would probably require some kind of source, no? I'll leave this to the author to edit...

"This in itself is a testimony of his acceptance among the people and a lofty rank with Allāh."

Absolutely inappropriate, so I'm taking it out.
