His gate was seldom without someone killed, except rarely, and I often saw people being killed at his gate and thrown down there. One day I came and my horse shied with me, and I saw a white piece on the ground and said, 'What is this?' One of my companions said, 'It is the chest of a man who was cut into three pieces!' He punished for small and great offences alike and showed no respect for anyone among the people of learning, piety or noble descent. Every day hundreds of people in chains, fetters and shackles were brought to the council hall: whoever was for killing was killed, for torture tortured, for beating beaten. His custom was to have all the people in his prison brought to the council hall every day except Friday, on which they were not taken out; it was their day of rest, on which they washed and rested.
