13.107.1

On the third Thursday Sultan Ghiyāth al-Dīn died. I learned of it and hastened to enter the city for fear of disorder. I met his nephew Nāṣir al-Dīn, who succeeded him, going out to the camp, having been sent for, since the sultan had no son. He asked me to go back with him, but I refused, and this left an impression on his heart. This Nāṣir al-Dīn had been a servant in Dihlī before his uncle became king; when his uncle became king he fled to him in the guise of a faqīr, and it was destined that he should reign after him.
