The Emirs residing in Sa'id and the warring princes between them, and the Admiral of the Ships requested the presence of the Emirs from Sa'id to Alexandria to consult on the matter, but they did not attend, as among them was Al-Bardisi, due to the enmity between him and Al-Alfi. It was Al-Alfi who had sent the Admiral of the Ships with his vessels to the waters of Alexandria, and Muhammad Ali Pasha, without the consultation of the Egyptian Emirs. When they did not attend Alexandria, the Admiral of the Ships, due to the hatred and enmity between them and their disunity, decreed their fate, stating that they could not be relied upon, and that it was not right to seek their support or refuge, lest they regret it. He sent his letters to Muhammad Ali Pasha and secured his commitment. Muhammad Ali Pasha pledged to him all the obligations and commitments that Al-Alfi had set. He wrote a decree to this effect, signed by the Sheikhs, notables, and the Janissaries, and sent it with his father Ibrahim, along with a very luxurious gift, a load of Indian goods, and other items. On the tenth of Rajab, the aforementioned Admiral of the Ships arrived at the coast of Waqf. Several cannons were fired upon his arrival, and on the morning of the third day, horses were sent to him, accompanied by Prince Tusun, son of Pasha. He rode in a very grand procession, then the council was convened, and the decree of the Admiral of the Ships was read, confirming Muhammad Ali Pasha in the governorship of Egypt and obligating him to fulfill all commitments, including the departure of pilgrims, the continuation of supplying the Two Holy Sanctuaries, the delivery of grain, and its delivery at the expense of the treasury. It was also stipulated that the revenues of Rashid, Rosetta, and Alexandria would not enter his sphere of influence, but would remain as revenues for the Sultan's treasury. When the reading of this decree was completed, several cannons were fired, and the supervisors went around the houses of the Emirs and notables. The Prince, with his ships, departed for the Sultan's palace on Saturday, the eighth of Sha'ban, accompanied by Musa Pasha and Prince Ibrahim, son of Muhammad Ali Pasha. Muhammad Ali Pasha resolved to prepare to fight Al-Alfi and expel him from the region. However, before the army could march to fight him, he and his people arrived at the island. His mother was in the country, and the number was very large. Muhammad Ali Pasha quickly brought out his troops and led them up the Nile to their camps, and some of them fled to the people. They joined Al-Alfi's companions and fought a fierce battle. Muhammad Ali Pasha's army was defeated, and many were killed and wounded. The next morning, a call was made in Al-Alfi's army, and they were expelled to Shahmanth. They marched on Tuesday, the eighteenth of Dhu al-Qi'dah. The number of Al-Alfi's army was eighty-three thousand. Muhammad Ali Pasha was weakened, and Al-Alfi proved to be a stubborn enemy. His companions urged him to defend himself. On the twenty-fifth of Dhu al-Qi'dah, a group of Arabs arrived and informed Muhammad Ali Pasha of the death of Al-Alfi on the day he arrived in Shahmanth. He was afflicted with a fever and died immediately. The students of the school in Dahshur and the rulers of Maliq agreed to march against him. Shahin was with Al-Alfi at the time of his death. The Arabs of the Awlad Ali tribe separated from them, and many of the army also defected. Muhammad Ali Pasha did not believe this news, and it spread. The situation was dire. Muhammad Ali Pasha sent some of the monks, and before his messengers had gone far, they arrived.
