Jelāl once commanded one of his attendants to go and arrange a certain matter. The attendant answered: “God willing.” Upon this, Jelāl was wroth, and shouted to him: “Stupid, garrulous fool!” The attendant fainted and foamed at the mouth. The disciples interceded. Jelāl expressed his forgiveness; and the attendant recovered. 37. On the occasion of a grand religious commemoration at the house of the Perwāna, in the presence of the Sultan Ruknu-’d-Dīn, this monarch was taken unwell, and the exercises were suspended, only, one of the disciples continued to sing and shout. The Sultan remarked: “How ill-behaved is that man! Does he pretend to be more ecstatic than his teacher Jelālu-’d-Dīn?” Jelāl heard this, and answered the king: “Thou art unable to withstand an attack of fever. How then canst thou expect a man devoured with an enthusiasm that threatens to swallow up even heaven itself, to calm down on a sudden?” When the disciples heard this, they set up a shout; and the Sultan, after himself witnessing one or two of the mighty signs wrought by Jelāl, made his obeisance to him, and became a disciple. 38. It has been related by some that the final overthrow of the rule of the Seljūqī dynasty in Asia Minor (in A.H. 700, A.D. 1300), was in this manner:— The Sultan Ruknu-’d-Dīn had adopted Jelāl as his (spiritual) father. After a while, he held a great dervish festival in the palace. But, about that period, a certain Sheykh Bāba had created for himself a great name in Qonya, and certain intriguers had led the king to visit him. It was shortly after that visit that the king held the revival in honour of Bāba in the Hall of the Bowls. The sheykh was met and introduced in state by the court officials, and was then installed on the throne, with the Sultan seated on a chair by his side. Jelāl now made his appearance, saluted, and took his seat in a corner of the hall. Portions of the Qur’ān were recited, and exhortations were delivered, with hymns. The Sultan then turned to Jelāl, and spoke: “Be it known to the Lord Jelāl, to the Doctors of the Law, and to the grandees, that I have adopted the Sheykh Bāba as my (spiritual) father, who has accepted me as his dutiful and affectionate son.” All present shouted their approval, and prayed for a blessing on the arrangement. But Jelāl, burning with divine jealousy, instantly exclaimed (in words traditionally related of the prophet, Muhammed): “Verily, Sa’d is a jealous man; but I am more jealous than Sa’d; and God is still more jealous than I am.” To this he further added: “Since the Sultan has made the sheykh his father, we will make some other our son.” So saying, he gave his usual religious shout of ecstasy, and stalked out from the assembly. Husāmu-’d-Dīn related that he saw the Sultan, when Jelāl thus quitted the presence, turn pale, as though shot with an arrow. The grandees ran to stop Jelāl; but he would not return.
