Muntakhab al-tawarikh 61.7.2

61.7.2

is a well known proverb. Shaikh ‘Ala’i in consequence of certain opposition which arose, turned back in the middle of the journey and returned to Baiana, and at the time when Islem Shah had taken firm possession of the throne of power in Agra, and the rumours regarding Shaikh ‘Ala’i reached his ears he sent for Mir Saiyyid Rafi‘u-d-Din the traditionist, and Miyan Abul-fath of Thanesar and other learned doctors of Agra, and summoned Shaikh ‘Ala‘i from Baiana, at the instigation of Makhdumu-l-mulk Maulana ‘Abdu-llah of Sultanpur. He accordingly, accompanied by a party of select companions, all of whom wore mail and were fully armed, came to the Court, and paying no heed to the customary observances of kingly assemblies, greeted the whole assemblage in the manner appointed by the laws of Islam. Islem Shah acknowledged his salutation with indignation, as the appearance of the Shaikh greatly displeased him and his courtiers.
