In the Islamic era, "Ardashir's Testament" was famous and is mentioned in many history and literature books. Al-Masudi has remarked it and has quoted a phrase of its about the last millennium. It is also named in "Mojmal al-tawarikh" and "Farsnameh" and in the latter it is mentioned about Khosrow I that "he suggested the testaments of Ardashir, son of Papak, and applied his preaches that were in that testament." The same matter is mentioned by Al-Tabari and Al-Tha'alibi. Al-Jahiz has mentioned "Ardashir's Terstament" along with "Bozorgmehr's Quotes" and mentions that the writers (Kottab) used it. Al-Mubarrad (died 286 Hijri) writes that Al-Ma'mun had ordered his son's mentor to teach him "Al-Watheg bellah" the book of God and read him "Ardashir's Testament" and force him to memorize "Kelileh va Demneh".
