He asked for news, and it was told to him that the Khalifa had been shot and was breathing his last and was unable to move. So they set up this tent for him, and his army was defending him. He said, "If that is the case, then bring the fight here and surround them until we see what happens." And they sent to the Sultan informing him that the Khalifa had been shot by a bullet from Zubaydi and was breathing his last. If it were possible for His Excellency to bring him before his soul departed, then let him do so. A short while after the messenger went to the Sultan, the Khalifa passed away, and weeping was announced. The army that was fighting dismounted from their horses, and so did Al-Amin's army. The simple man of the days of misfortune, who is oppressed, even if his soldiers are strong, sleep is scarce. The complete man does not prevent a dense army from responding, nor does a strong tower prevent madness. A short while after that, the Sultan and his army arrived. He penetrated the ranks. When the Khalifa's army saw him, they pledged allegiance to him. He entered the tents with Al-Amin Muhammad and a group of state officials. They uncovered the face of the Khalifa, and he wept bitterly, saying, "My son, you have done this to yourself and half of [my life]."
