The Sultan gave no answer, but turned away from the Haji, and closed his lips with the seal of silence. The Haji arose and left the assembly, repeating the salam alaik. The Sultan said, after the Haji's departure, "The Shaikh mistakes his position in reading me lectures; and presumes upon the favour which I show him. He thinks that the people who present themselves before him and kiss his feet do it of themselves. He cannot understand this, that were I to cause any one of my slaves to sit down on a litter, and command all the nobles to place it on their shoulders, they would do so without hesitation." Shaikh 'Abdu-l Jalal, the son of Saiyid Ahmad, was present when this occurred, and he reported this speech to Haji 'Abdu-l Wahab. The Haji placed his hand on 'Abdu-l Jalal's shoulder, and said, "This speech of his, in which he compares me, a descendant of the prophet, with one of his own slaves, will one day, please God, stick in his throat, rest assured of that." The Haji left Agra and went to Dehli, without taking leave of the King; and a short time after his departure, Sultan Sikandar was taken ill with a disease of the throat, which daily became worse. - [Previous: 6.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-daudi~en-elliot.6.1) - [Next: 6.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-daudi~en-elliot.6.3) - [Up: 6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-daudi~en-elliot.6) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-daudi~en-elliot.6.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-daudi~en-elliot.6.2) · Pramāṇa
