13.9.3

ولما وصل السلطان إلى الحضرة بعد غيبته سنتين ونصفا وصل الشريف ابراهيم إليه فوشى به بعض غلمانه وأعلم السلطان بما كان هم به، فأراد السلطان أن يعجل بقتله، ثم تانى لمحبته فيه، فاتفق أن أتى يوما إلى السلطان بغزال مذبوح فنظر إلى ذبحته فقال ليس بجيد الذكاة، أطرحوه فرآه إبراهيم فقال: إن ذكاته جيدة وأنا أكله، فأخبر السلطان بقوله، فأنكر ذلك وجعله ذريعة إلى أخذه فأمر به فقيد وغلل ثم قرره على ما رمى به من أنه أراد أخذ الاموال التي مر بها ضياء الملك.

When the Sultan reached the capital after an absence of two and a half years, the Sharīf Ibrāhīm came to him. One of his servants informed against him and told the Sultan what he had intended. The Sultan wished to have him killed at once, but then held back out of his affection for him. It happened one day that a slaughtered gazelle was brought to the Sultan; he looked at the cut and said: "It has not been properly slaughtered; throw it away." Ibrāhīm saw it and said: "It has been properly slaughtered, and I will eat it." The Sultan was told of his words; he took offence at this and made it a pretext for seizing him. He ordered him to be put in fetters and chains, and then interrogated him about the charge laid against him, namely that he had wanted to take the money with which Ḍiyāʾ al-Mulk had passed by.
