⁶² It was at this time that Qazi Jalal’s rebellion occurred of which Ibn Batūṭah has given (III, pp. 365—69), a detailed account. It is difficult to vouch for the accuracy of all the details given by him, for they are not corroborated by other writers, but the following conclusions are established when we check Ibn Batūṭah’s account with those of Barani and the author of the \*Sirat-i-Firuz Shahi\*.  
(1) Barani says, when Malik Maqbūl was plundered near Dabhoi and Baroda, the flames of rebellion blazed high and the ‘Centurions’ attacked and plundered Cambay. Qazi Jalal’s rebellion occurred at this time. He and his confederates attacked Cambay and plundered the merchants. This is supported by Barani and the \*Sirat\*.  
(2) According to Barani, the Sultan, finding Malik Maqbūl, unable to hold his own against the rebels, appointed Shaikh Muiz-al-Din bin Shaikh ‘Ala-al-Din bin Shaikh Farid-al-Din to the charge of Gujarat. This is corroborated by the \*Sirat\*. Ibn Batūṭah does not mention this.  
(3) ‘Aziz Khummār marched against the rebels, but he was defeated. Barani says the same thing.  
(4) Qazi Jalal’s flight to Daulatabad and his alliance with the rebels there is not mentioned by any other authority. But there is nothing improbable in it. It would have been difficult for us to accept Ibn Batūṭah’s statements about Qazi Jalal’s revolt, if they were not supported by the \*Sirat-i-Firuz Shahi\*. Ibn Batūṭah’s account is too detailed to be a fiction altogether.
