c13.60

The *Tarikh-i-Mubarak Shahi* relates the story of the Shaikh's confinement and ultimate execution. The Shaikh called the Sultan a tyrant whereupon he went to the Sadr-i-Jahan and asked him to call upon the Shaikh to prove the charge of tyranny. The Shaikh repeated the charge and justified it on the ground that the Sultan handed over to the executioners the wives and children of the culprits who were punished by him. The Sultan became very angry and ordered the arrest of the Shaikh.
