His son, the leader Ali bin Abdulaziz Al-Tursqi, and others from Hanni, were sent to him. They were informed that the Sultan's wife and all her servants, including leaders and officials, had entered his protection, seeking forgiveness from them and asking him to be a mediator for them in this matter.
