The Sultan's arrival in Majd.

When it was the eleventh of Dhu al-Hijjah, the Sultan issued a decree to Egypt, the text of which is as follows: "We have seen in Samrur what you have presented of your servitude to the Sublime Porte, and we have granted you the rights of governance over the lands you have ruled for a long time. We are aware of your wisdom and prudence in managing your provinces. Therefore, the Sublime Porte has granted you new rights, and considering your loyalty and the sacrifices you have made, you must appreciate the favor shown to you. You have recognized the advantages you have committed to your descendants. Therefore, we have decided to appoint you to the governorship of Egypt and have entrusted you with its reins according to the boundaries specified in the conditions presented to you by the highest authority of our state. We have decided that this governorship shall be hereditary under the following conditions: When the position of the Egyptian governorship becomes vacant, the governorship shall be transferred to whomever our descendants, the aforementioned sons, choose as heir. If one of your male descendants is chosen, then your other descendants shall have no right. Those who are obligated to present themselves at the Sublime Porte to receive the governorship are subject to the condition that their rank is that of other viziers. This will be implemented in the coming days.

In order to prevent any illegalities, the fees for the pilgrimage must be organized. Three-quarters of the taxes collected in all Egyptian provinces shall remain with your guardians for the costs of collection, administration, military expenses, and the governor's expenses. The expenses for the gifts that are presented in Egypt each year to the two noble sanctuaries shall be paid from this. This payment shall continue in this manner for five years, commencing from the year 257 AH, and this arrangement may be modified in the future to be more suitable to the condition of the Egyptian province and the circumstances and events that arise.
