تحفة النظار في غرايب الامصار وعجايب الاسفار 12.31: حكاية في تواضع السلطان وإنصافه

12.31.1

ادعى عليه رجل من كبار الهنود أنه قتل أخاه من غير موجب ودعاه إلى القاضي فسلم وخدم، وكان قد أمر القاضي قبل ذلك أنه إذا جاءه إلى مجلسه فلا يقوم ولا يتحرك، فصعد إلى المجلس ووقف بين يدي القاضي فحكم عليه أن يرضى خصمه عن دم أخيه فأرضاه.

A man from among the great Hindus brought a claim against him that he had killed his brother without cause, and summoned him before the qāḍī. He [went], greeted him and made obeisance; he had previously ordered the qāḍī that when he came to his court he should neither rise nor stir. He went up to the court and stood before the qāḍī, who ruled against him that he must satisfy his adversary for his brother's blood, and he satisfied him.
