He picked up a single mango that had fallen from one of the orchards, and the sultan was watching him. At once he ordered him to be cut through the middle; he was split in two halves, one half impaled on the right of the road and the other half on its left. The mango was cut into two halves, and a half of it was placed on each half of him, and he was left there as a lesson to onlookers!! ## Linked texts (1) - [تحفة النظار في غرائب الأمصار وعجائب الأسفار](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.rihla.ibn-battuta.13.79.1) — Ibn Baṭṭūṭa, Arabic --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.rihla.ibn-battuta~en-mt.13.79](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.rihla.ibn-battuta~en-mt.13.79) · Pramāṇa
