Abu Bakr Al-Sharif, a man of mixed intellect, was at the threshold of their master's house when Commander Mansour entered his house that night. He found him holding a candle and he did not know anything about them, nor did he know who had come or who was going. May God have mercy on him. The next day, Commander Mansour called Imam Abd Al-Kafi bin Imam Abd Al-Rahman, Imam of the Great Mosque, and said to him, "Glory be to God, O Abd Al-Kafi, you are the one who came yesterday, and you were late to Abdullah bin Al-Kafi Al-Haj's house." He replied, "Yes, I came to your house and distributed your belongings, but I did not come myself. I only came through my messenger. He came to me in my house and told me, 'Answer the call. He is in Commander Mansour's house.' Likewise, Commander Mansour, if you go to Commander Abdullah's house and send me your messenger to call me, I must answer your call and obey your command in his house." At that point, he fell silent and did not speak. When Commander Mansour was in his house in the morning, sedition broke out between him and the army, and we seek refuge in God. They started with the house of Commander Ali bin Al-Kafi, Saeed bin Pasha Yahya Al-Faranti, and attacked it, broke into it from behind, and fired at it from the front. Among them was one of the brothers of the aforementioned Commander Ali, named Al-Kafi Muhyi, from the children of Al-Dals. He was very brave, and he fought them alone against their numbers. The aforementioned commander was in Sari Keni's camp with Commander Ahmed Zalk at the time of the fighting. Then he came once to under the minaret of Sayed Yahya, at the door of his grandfather Pasha Yahya's house, and went up to the alleys. His hand was extended, and he attacked one of Commander Mansour's men who was going through the alleys, named Ali. He waited for him until he turned to him. When he turned away, he shot him in the back with a bullet, and he died. He was carried to Sari Keni as well.
