تحفة النظار في غرايب الامصار وعجايب الاسفار 10.20.1

10.20.1

I had a slave who ran away from me, and I found him in the possession of a Turk. I went to take him back from him, but the shaykh said to me: "This slave is not good for you, so do not take him." The Turk was willing to come to terms, so I settled with him for a hundred dinars, which I took from him, and left the slave to him. Six months later [the slave] killed his master and was brought before the sultan, who ordered that he be handed over to his master's sons, and they killed him.
