When Bahāʾ al-Dīn fled to him, the Sultan's troops pursued him and besieged that territory. The infidel was hard pressed, his stores of grain ran out, and he feared being taken by force. So he said to Bahāʾ al-Dīn: "Matters have come to what you see, and I am resolved to destroy myself, my family and those who follow me. Go to Sultan So-and-so" — an infidel sultan whom he named to him — "and stay with him, for he will protect you." And he sent with him someone to escort him to him. - [Previous: 13.2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.rihla.ibn-battuta~en-mt.13.2.2) - [Next: 13.2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.rihla.ibn-battuta~en-mt.13.2.4) - [Up: 13.2](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.rihla.ibn-battuta~en-mt.13.2) ## Linked texts (1) - [تحفة النظار في غرائب الأمصار وعجائب الأسفار](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.rihla.ibn-battuta.13.2.3) — Ibn Baṭṭūṭa, Arabic --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.rihla.ibn-battuta~en-mt.13.2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.rihla.ibn-battuta~en-mt.13.2.3) · Pramāṇa
