He was disgraced and thrown into the ashes, and they stoned him, broken and dismissed at the end of Sha'ban. He was not satisfied with that, but remained in his house with authority and the diwan, and reading Sahih al-Bukhari in Ramadan. It was a customary practice for the Pashas in Ramadan to gather for it, and he considered it a sedition and did not go to the Qasaba. They were all of one mind in the dismissal. Abdullah bin Kubr stood up for him, and Abd al-Rahman was appointed, and he met him. They met, and his robes came out at his door to hold a diwan under him. The Qiyad and Kawahi came, and they came for his diwan and to implement his command, saying to him, "We obey God, then your command, without reservation." They remained in that state from the end of Sha'ban until the beginning of Ramadan. The Qadi, his witnesses, and the scribes came for the reading of Sahih al-Bukhari. He read it in his house until the end of the month. The commander Yahad went to Sukari at the Qadi Sidi Ahmed and informed him about the reading and going to him in his house, and told him that he was dismissed. They left him and brought others, and he did not go after them. The Pasha abandoned what he was doing with the diwan and the Pashas and stopped it. At that point, it became clear that he was dismissed. He remained there for five months, then he was reinstated on Monday, the fifteenth of Dhu al-Qi'dah al-Haram in the year 128 AH. In it, Commander Abdullah bin Al-Haj Al-Sarraf became a formidable sultan over them, and it was true that none of them dared to raise their heads against him. His authority increased after a sedition among them, and no one could enter it except with a حملة (hmla - a group of soldiers) and a camel, and oaths and treachery from others, and his favor. Thus, they gave him the sultanate without dispute or opposition. He entered and subdued them until their situation became one of contempt, humiliation, and insult. He separated them from their livelihoods, and every door they had access to from their glory by land and sea, according to custom, was closed to them, except for what they received willingly in terms of salary, provisions, and gifts, except for some of their elders. This was not a strong defense.
