Ṣarāy Tamur, regretting that he had gone down from the Stables, now armed himself; Quṭlūbughā the chamberlain did likewise, and they sent word to Tukā to attack the mamlūks ẓāhirīya from the top of the citadel, while they themselves would fight them below. Tukā shot upon them from the Rafraf Barrack and from the Castle, being assisted in this by amir Muqbil, amir of the arms, and Damurdāsh al-Qushtamurī, as well as by their own mamlūks and the other mamlūks stationed in the citadel. The mamlūks ẓāhirīya fought back, and when the news spread among other mamlūks ẓāhirīya who were out of service or in hiding they came to their companions from all sides, as did also the Yalbughāwīya and others of the followers of al-Ẓāhir himself, of Yalbughā al-Nāṣirī, and of the other amirs who had been arrested. They then broke open the Daylam prison and set free the mamlūks and other prisoners there; next they sent to the Shamāʾil Treasury, broke open its gate, and freed the imprisoned yalbughāwīya, ẓāhirīya, and other mamlūks; and finally they did the same with the prison of the Raḥaba. Buṭā and his companions now had many supporters and had gained greatly in strength, while on the other hand Ḥusayn ibn al-Kūrānī fled in fear and went into hiding.
