Yusuf Pasha arrested all those who had made a pact with the Kashif, capturing them one by one until none remained. The last of them was Al-Faqih Al-Tayyib, whom he captured and killed in the most brutal manner. He imprisoned his nephew in the "Dawam" prison. The manner of capturing the aforementioned Faqih was that he gave him free rein, spent money on him, and showed him complete affection, to the extent that Al-Faqih Al-Tayyib never imagined that the Sultan was aware of his alliance with Zwana the Kashif. A period passed until one day Al-Faqih Al-Tayyib attended the Sultan's palace. The Sultan was seated in his court, and Abu Muqra brought honey, which he gave to Al-Faqih Al-Tayyib. He ordered a robe for him, and a fine red robe was brought. He wore it and prayed for the Sultan's eternal glory and sat down. It was the custom of the kings of Fur, if they dressed someone in a fine robe, that they were angry with him and would inevitably kill him. The Sultan remembered his actions and his collusion with the Kashif. At the end of the gathering, he turned to those present and said, "I call you to witness before God, is this Faqih in his last days, or is he still in his prime?" They all replied, "No, by God, but he is in his prime." He then said, "I reject him and enrich him and carry out his command." The Sultan said, "Siloukh, why did he betray me and conspire with the Kashif to kill me and destroy my home?" They questioned him, and he swore to the Sultan.
