One morning, before the rising of the sun, he sent for Diyanat Khan, who had just been appointed diwan of the khalisa, and told him that he had gone through a sharp conflict in the night with the covetousness which the wealth of 'Abdu-l Ghafúr had excited in his heart, but that he had prevailed over his temptation, and had thrown off all desire for the money. The díwán therefore was to send for 'Abdu-l Hai, and to remove all claim to the property, and to present him with a robe and a horse, without his having to spend a dám or a diram, and without having to apply to any other person.
