60 At the port, the locals were making noise as they waited for the disembarkation of arriving pilgrims. The soldiers approaching the port also made some loud noises. They were to prevent the pilgrims from getting off the ship. The military commander told the wazir to calm his people down in order that he could discuss the situation the following day. The wazir was pleased and things calmed down. … The military commander withdrew to the fortress leaving Bibi Fatima maximally guarded where she had been brought earlier. Bibi Fatima herself was very pleased of her escape. Early the next morning, the king together with around 5000 of Hormuz locals were at the gate of Rais Badruddin’s house which overlooked the open court in front of the fortress gate. From there, the king sent a bitter complaint to the military commander about Bibi Fatima’s kidnapping and requested that his daughter-in-law be returned and that His Majesty disapproved of what occurred. The military commander sent an envoy with a message to tell all the Arabs who are not related to the family or in the service of the king that they had to remain in their houses under the threat of death
