He left them, and we found neither gold nor silver in your house, but you are still free women, and there is no inclination of the soul towards them. He said to his companions, "Cut the rope into eight pieces and leave one piece for each of them." And his companions took the boy and cut him into eight pieces and threw one piece to each woman. And a conversation like this extends to thousands. We mentioned this to indicate her sisters. The women took captives, and the treasurer sent about a thousand virgins from the daughters of the prominent Egyptians. The vizier chose thirty girls from them who were beautiful and tall. Their fathers were among the dignitaries of the Egyptians, the inhabitants of the city. He distributed the rest to his guards and relatives, and each of them was satisfied with the king's bounty. The treasurer also sent a large number of women to Abd al-Ta'ayti, and the virgins were brought to him, and the rest were distributed to his guards and relatives. Thus, each of them satisfied his desire with one of them. And one of his retinue. The treasurer also sent hundreds of women to the two commanders, Ali bin Haw and Shamad Sharif, and they took them as they took them from Abd Allah al-Ta'ayti. Many of those women refused to commit fornication and lewdness, so they were tormented and beaten severely, and their hair was torn out. Many of them preferred death to life. I saw the wife of one of the sheikhs, who was Turkish on her father's side and Sudanese on her mother's side, who threw herself to escape the torment inflicted upon her after she refused to surrender herself to Abd Allah al-Ta'ayti, and the wife of the Sheikh of Readers in Khartoum was beaten and tortured for six months for refusing to surrender herself to Abd Allah al-Ta'ayti. The fact is that the number of women who were captured is no less than thirty-five thousand girls.
