2. Both Barani and Ibn Batūtah are at one in saying that the second expedition was soon afterwards (according to Barani only after four months) entrusted to Prince 'Ulugh Khan. This proves faith in the Prince. The conspirators were punished, but the Prince is not even mentioned, and in the absence of any definite statement of either Barani or Ibn Batutah we cannot assume that the Prince was purged of his offence. It is incredible that the Sultan should have been ignorant of the rumour. Ibn Batūtah, who mentions the Prince as the author of this conspiracy, does not say that the Sultan ever remonstrated with him. His incomplete narrative renders a great injustice to Muhammad.
