I'm on Academia.edu's mailing list. A surprising number of papers in #IslamicStudies are published on the platform for download free of charge under Creative Commons licenses.

Today's paper: AL-MADĀʾINĪ AND THE NARRATIVES OF THE ʿABBĀSID DAWLA by Ilkka Lindstedt. Sorry for the ugly link below, but it should get you to a place where you can download the PDF.
