كل ذلك والقتال عمال في كل يوم ليلا ونهارا والرمي مستدام من القلعة بالمناجيق ومكاحل النفط. وطال الأمر على الأمير نوروز حتى أرسل الأمير قمش إلى الملك المؤيد في طلب الصلح وترددت الرسل بينهم غير مرة حتى انبرم الصلح بينهم بعد أن حلف الملك المؤيد لنوروز بالأيمان المغلظة. وكان الذي تولى تحليف الملك المؤيد كاتب سره القاضي ناصر الدين محمد بن البارزي. حكى لي القاضي كمال الدين ابن القاضي ناصر الدين محمد بن البارزي كاتب السر الشريف من لفظه - رحمه الله - قال: قال لي الوالد: أخذت في تحليف الملك المؤيد بحضرة رسل الأمير نوروز والقضاة قد حضروا أيضا فشرعت ألحن في اليمين عامدا في عدة كلمات حتى خرج معنى اليمين عن مقصود نوروز فالتفت القاضي ناصر الدين محمد بن العديم الحنفي - وكان فيه خفة - وقال للقاضي الشافعي: كأن القاضي ناصر الدين بن البارزي ليس له ممارسة بالعربية والنحو فإنه يلحن لحنا فاحشا فسكته البلقيني لوقته. قلت: وكان هذا اليمين بحضرة جماعة من فقهاء الترك من أصحاب نوروز فلم يفطن أحد منهم لذلك لعدم ممارستهم لهذه العلوم وإنما جل مقصود الواحد منهم أن يقرأ مقدمة في الفقه ويحلها على شيخ من الفقهاء أهل الفروع فعند ذلك يقول: أنا صرت فقيها! وليته يسكت بعد ذلك ولكنه يعيب أيضا على ما عدا الفقه من العلوم فهذا هو الجهل بعينه - انتهى. ثم عادت رسل نوروز إليه بصورة الحلف فقرأه عليه بعض من عنده من الفقهاء من تلك المقولة وعرفه أن هذا اليمين ما بعده شيء فاطمأن لذلك. ونزل من قلعة دمشق بمن معه من الأمراء والأعيان في يوم حادي عشرين ربيع الآخر بعد ما قاتل الملك المؤيد نحوا من خمسة وعشرين يوما أو أزيد ومشى حتى دخل على الملك المؤيد.
Summary
After 26/02/0817:
Above all of this the fighting continued day and night and the firing from the citadel of manājīq and naphtha engines was continuous. Amir Nawrūz got tired of this and sent amir Qamish to al-Malik al-Muʾayyad to ask for reconciliation. The messengers traveled between them various times until peace was concluded between them, after that al-Muʾayyad had sworn the most sacred oath to Nawrūz. The one who took the oath from al-Malik al-Muʾayyad was his kātib al-sirr qāḍī Nāṣir al-Dīn Muḥammad b. al-Bārizī. Qāḍi Kamāl al-Dīn, the son of qāḍī Nāṣir al-Dīn Muḥammad b. al-Bārizī the kātib al-sirr, told me in his own words (God have mercy on him): My father said to me: I started to take the oath from al-Malik al-Muʾayyad, in presence of the messenger of amir Nawrūz and the chief judges were also present. I started to make mistakes with the oath, on purpose, so that the meaning of the oath would deviate from the intentions of Nawrūz. Qāḍī Nāṣir al-Dīn Muḥammad b. al-ʿAdīm al-Ḥanafī -who had a certain triviality- said to the Shafi’ite judge: “It seems that qāḍī Nāṣir al-Dīn b. al-Bārizī is not expert in Arabic and grammar, because he makes horrible mistakes.”, but al-Bulqīnī silenced him immediately. I said: This oath was done in presence of a group of Turkish fuqahāʾ, belonging to the companions of Nawrūz, and no one of them understood this because of their lack of expertise in this knowledge: the highest aim of each of them was to read the introduction of the fiqh and to analyze this to a shaykh of the fuqahāʾ, qualified in furūʿ, and by doing so they said they had become a faqīh. And if only he would remain silent after this, but no, he also makes mistakes in branches of sciences that do not belong to the fiqh, and that is ignorance itself. End.
The messengers returned to him with the formula of the oath and one of the fuqahāʾ-of the kind we just mentioned- that was with him, read it to him and informed them by this that there was nothing behind this oath.
