تحفة النظار في غرايب الامصار وعجايب الاسفار 13.93.1

13.93.1

I had married his stepdaughter, the daughter of his wife, and I loved her deeply. When the vizier sent for him and brought him back to the island of al-Mahal, I sent him gifts, went out to meet him, and accompanied him to the palace. He greeted the vizier, who lodged him in a fine house, and I used to visit him there. It happened that I went into retreat (iʿtikāf) in Ramaḍān and everyone visited me except him; then Jamāl al-Dīn visited me, and he came in with him, out of conformity. So ill feeling arose between us. When I came out of the retreat, the maternal uncles of my wife, his stepdaughter — the sons of the vizier Jamāl al-Dīn al-Sanjarī — complained to me that their father had appointed the vizier ʿAbd Allāh as their guardian, that their property was still in his hands although by the sharīʿa they had come out of his guardianship, and they asked that he be summoned to the court.
