I wanted to search for him and inform you of his arrival, so she said to him, "Yes, he is in great need." This night, and it was at the time of his arrival, she saw the collar of the armor from under the collar of the dress, so the evil was confirmed. She went to the Sultan and informed him that his father had come asking for him, and that she had seen things from him that she disapproved of, including that he was wearing armor under his clothes and carrying a sword, even though the custom is not to enter the Sultan with swords. And among them, there was a sign of anger on his face. The Sultan sensed the evil, realizing it was he who had been insisting on his return and exaggerating his words. So he ordered her not to return to him, and the Sultan went out and called the chief of the spies and ordered them to arrest anyone who came out of the house, and if they escaped them, they would not blame themselves. He took a group of them, armed with their swords, and surrounded his house. He entered some of his companions, and the guards surrounded it. He sat waiting for his house to return, but she did not return to him with news of the Sultan, and the Sultan would come to him to inform him of his desire for him. But no one came to him; rather, he was like one seeking his own death. When his nose was bleeding, he covered it with his hand, according to his saying: From the fragmented speech My feet sought my death, I see my feet, I see my blood. When waiting exhausted him, he went to his house with gold in his hand, fearing that the day would break.
