When the Muslims advanced into those areas, a group of our people from Jurah volunteered, mounted their horses energetically, and headed to the ruler of Constantinople to request his assistance. They were knowledgeable in the Turkish language. When they arrived in Constantinople, its people recognized their attire and asked them about the news from their land. They informed them that it was the pastureland of Tripolis of the West. They presented themselves before the Sultan seeking aid. Among them was Murad Agha, a eunuch of the Sultan, who was in the land of Al-Mashraf and had learned Arabic. He interpreted for the Sultan on their behalf. They informed him of the state of their country, how the Christians had taken it, and how their kings and their state had been lost. They requested his assistance in reclaiming their land. The Sultan ordered that Murad be appointed over them. The people of Gharyan pledged allegiance to him in the year 952 AH, and all the people of the Rif pledged allegiance to him. It is said that Khuda bin Nafshurum bin Muhammad Al-Abbasi, the ruler of Fezzan, sent him to Adris Al-Battah Al-Tabaqiyah from the army in the year 956 AH to rule the land of Fezzan. The correct account is that the conquest of Fezzan originally took place in the year 985 AH, after the conquest of Tripoli, upon the death of Dragut Pasha, as the command of the army was with the Syrians. In the year 700, God willing, it is mentioned that Kulin was appointed to lead the raid on Tripoli and to deal with any remaining Romans or those who appeared. The Muslims hid, and some of them built a castle between the two cities to communicate with them until the year 958 AH, when the fleet of Sultan Suleiman arrived in the aforementioned city. Al-Aliq Ayya was besieging Halq Al-Wadi, and Dragut Pasha was with him. He was victorious and came out to meet Murad, accompanied by the notables of his pledge from our people of Jurah. They requested his assistance, and he pleaded that he had not been authorized to do so. He ordered them to dig it up before them, agreeing to their request on the condition that they provide him with a document proving that if the Sultan ordered him to take it, he would be accountable for it. They gave him such a document and chose to take it by force. It is said that its people requested safety, but when they did not receive it, they left. Dragut took possession of the city and wrote to Sultan Suleiman about it, who was greatly pleased. He also wrote to him about the city and the people of Jerba and Fasir and the people of its surroundings pledging allegiance to him. It is said that its conquest was during the reign of Suleiman Bayezid. The correct account is as we have mentioned, that it was during the reign of Sultan Suleiman, son of Sultan Selim, son of Sultan Bayezid, son of Sultan Murad, son of Muhammad, son of Balad Rim, son of Orhan, son of Osman, the great, son of Suleiman. Suleiman ruled the eastern lands and the lands of Maghreb from the land of Bulgaria. His lineage is disputed. Some say he is from the nomadic Turks who settled from the Antar tribe, and their lineage is traced back to Japheth, son of Noah, peace be upon him, as mentioned by Al-Qurtubi and Qar, author of Durar Al-Uthmaniyah. Others say that the origin of the Ottoman rulers is from the Arabs of Hijaz, and a group of historians add that they are from the people of the Holy City, upon whom be the best of prayers and peace, and that he is from the Turks. "The Story of Dragut Pasha" Al-Agha appointed Murad Agha and the rule of the Turks.
