791 AH, after 21/11
Minṭāsh now produced a copy of the decision (al-fatwā) in reference to al-Ẓāhir Barqūq, in which, however, there had been inserted the additional charge: “and he called upon the infidels to assist in fighting Muslims.” Present were the caliph al-Mutawakkil ʿalā Allāh; the four judges; the shaykh Sirāj al-Dīn ʿUmar al-Bulqīnī and his son Jalāl al-Dīn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān the military qāḍī; Ibn Khaldūn the Malikite; Ibn al-Mulaqqin; Chief judge Badr al-Dīn Muḥammad ibn ʾAbī al-Baqāʾī; and a number of others. In the presence of sultan al-malik al-Manṣūr in the Striped Palace the document was presented to those assembled, and they all ignominiously signed it at dictation. Then they went to their homes.
