Muhammad attempted to destroy his illusion, which was shared by the people of Aror, by sending his wife Lādī to assure them that her former husband had indeed been slain and that his head had been sent to the Caliph’s viceroy, but they repudiated her with abuse as one who had joined herself to the unclean strangers. Fūfī was, however, at length convinced of his father’s death, and fled from Aror by night. Muhammad, on learning of his flight, attacked the town, and the citizens, deserted by their leader, readily submitted to him. - [Previous: v3.c19.20](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.haig-1928.v3.c19.20) - [Next: v3.c19.22](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.haig-1928.v3.c19.22) - [Up: v3.c19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.haig-1928.v3.c19) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.haig-1928.v3.c19.21](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.haig-1928.v3.c19.21) · Pramāṇa
