heretics on the congregation in the great masjid in the year 634 H. under the reign of Raziyyat, it is strange that he is silent about the attack by the same heretics on Sultan I-yal-timish, which is related by other writers. I-yal-timish, who was considered a pattern of orthodoxy, and a most pious and God-fearing ruler, was in the habit of going, without any ostentation, to the great masjid on the Musalman sabbath to say his prayers along with the congregation, and to listen to the Imam’s discourse. The Mulhids of Dihli, aware of his custom, plotted to take his life; and a body of them armed, whilst the people of the congregation were occupied in their own devotions, flocked into the masjid, drew their swords, and attempted to reach the place where the Sultan was, and martyred several persons in so doing. The Sultan, however, succeeded in getting safely away, although the Mulhids endeavoured to follow him. The people now crowded the roofs and walls and gateways of the masjid, and with arrows, bricks, and stones, annihilated the heretics. I-yal-timish is said to have afterwards put a number of this sect to the sword in revenge for this attempt upon his life.
