This neglect continued until Yāqūt wrote his book Muʿjam al-Udabāʾ (معجم الأدباء), which contained a biographical outline of at-Tawḥīdī, relying primarily on what al-Tawḥīdī had written about himself.
After completing his studies, al-Tawḥīdī worked as a scribe for various parties in various cities in the Muslim world.
During this time, he was a member of a literary circle centred around Abū Solaymān Manṭeqī Seǰestānī.
[7] After Saʿdān's execution, al-Tawḥīdī doesn't appear to have had regular work as a scribe, although he continued to write.
Nevertheless, he left a set of literary, philosophical, and Sufi works, which were distinctive in the history of the Arabic literature.
