842 AH, Thu 08/07:
On Thursday the 8th the sultan summoned the chief judges, the amirs, the mubāshirūn and the ʾaʿyān dawla in the palace of the Citadel after the khidma. A nāʾib of the Shāfiʿī judge, ʿAlī b. ʾAqbars ʿAlāʾ al-Dīn was appointed as wakīl. He made against naqīb ḥukm Ibn Yaʿqūb -after he had been assigned as wakīl for Qurqumās al-Shaʿbānī- important claims before chief judge Shams al-Dīn al-Basāṭī al-Mālikī that amir Qurqumās had rebelled and left the obedience of the walī ʾamr. He had fought Allāh and his messenger, thereby killing a number of Muslims and wounding many more. His stay in prison was explained by scandalous deeds and fitnas. And that his killing was in the common interest. This was testified by a group of amirs so al-Basāṭī ruled according this. Shaykh imam ʾAḥmad b. ʿAlī b. Ḥajar said to him: “what is the necessity of this?” and he said: “the killing”. So the sultan assigned immediately some mamluks to go to Alexandria. They arrived on Monday the 12th, but shayhk Badr al-Dīn al-ʿAynī said that they arrived on Sunday the 11th. The qāṣid was called Ṭūghān.
Amir Timurbāy al-Timurbughāwī summoned him while he was in chains and shackles. The writing was read to him and already al large crowd had gathered to see him. He said: “do you have any defense or mistake in what was ruled by al-Basāṭī al-Mālikī?” and that proof remained for him. He answered that there was no defense or mistake.
This was according to al-Maqrīzī but al-Badr al-Dīn al-ʿAynī reported he said nothing.
