دهلى وإخراجه أهلها، فأخذ السلطان سيفه ودفعه لصدر الجهان، وقال: يثبت هذا أني ظالم واقطع عنقي بهذا السيف! فقال له شهاب الدين: ومن يريد أن يشهد بذلك فيقتل، ولكن أنت تعرف ظلم نفسك! وأمر بتسليمه للملك نكبية راس الدويدارية، فقيده بأربعة قيود وغل يديه وأقام كذلك أربعة عشر يوما مواصلا لا ياكل ولا يشرب! وفي كل يوم منها يؤتى به إلى المشور ويجمع الفقهاء والمشايخ، ويقولون له ارجع عن قولك، فيقول: لا أرجع عنه وأريد أن أكون في زمرة الشهداء! فلما كان اليوم الرابع عشر بعث إليه السلطان بطعام مع مخلص الملك، فأبى أن يأكل، وقال: قد رفع رزقي من الأرض! ارجع بطعامك إليه! فلما أخبر بذلك السلطان أمر عند ذلك أن يطعم الشيخ خمسة إستار من العذرة! وهي رطلان ونصف من أرطال المغرب، فأخذ ذلك الموكلون بمثل هذه الأمور، وهم طائفة من كفار الهنود، فمدوه على ظهره وفتحوا فمه بالكلبتين وحلوا العذرة بالماء، وسقوه ذلك، وفي اليوم بعده أتي به إلى دار القاضي صدر الجهان وجمع الفقهاء والمشايخ ووجوه الأعزة فوعظوه وطلبوا منه أن يرجع عن قوله فأبى ذلك فضربت عنقه، رحمه الله تعالى

> Dihlī and his expulsion of its people. The Sultan took his sword and handed it to Ṣadr al-Jahān, saying: "Prove this, that I am a tyrant, and cut off my head with this sword!" Shihāb al-Dīn said to him: "Whoever wishes to testify to that will be killed, but you know your own tyranny!" He ordered him to be handed over to Malik Nakbiya, head of the dawīdārs, who put him in four fetters and chained his hands, and he remained so for fourteen days, fasting continuously, neither eating nor drinking! Each of those days he was brought to the council hall, and the jurists and shaykhs were assembled, and they would say to him: "Retract your words," and he would say: "I will not retract them; I wish to be in the company of the martyrs!" When the fourteenth day came, the Sultan sent him food with Mukhliṣ al-Mulk, but he refused to eat and said: "My sustenance has been lifted from the earth! Take your food back to him!" When the Sultan was told of this, he then ordered that the shaykh be fed five istārs of excrement, which is two and a half raṭls of the raṭls of the Maghrib. Those charged with such matters, who are a group of the Hindu infidels, took it, stretched him on his back, opened his mouth with tongs, dissolved the excrement in water and made him drink it. On the following day he was brought to the house of the qāḍī Ṣadr al-Jahān, and the jurists, shaykhs and leading aʿizza were assembled; they admonished him and asked him to retract his words, but he refused, and his head was struck off, may God Most High have mercy on him.
