As he sat reflecting, he fell asleep. In his dreams he saw Jelāl coming towards him, with an executioner by his side, who held up an axe. Jelāl ordered the executioner to cut off Muhammed’s head, as the punishment for his having offended Husām. This was done; and Muhammed saw his own head fall off, and his own blood flow. He knew that he was dead. After a while he saw Jelāl return, pick up Muhammed’s decapitated head, place it in proper junction with the neck of the corpse, and utter the exclamation: “In the name of God, with God, from God, and to God.” Muhammed saw himself instantly alive again, felt very penitent, threw himself at Jelāl’s feet, and cried out piteously. He now awoke and arose. No one was in sight. All traces of blood had vanished, and no sign of a wound was discernible on his neck. In all speed he returned to Husām’s garden, and resumed his work with alacrity. But now he saw Husām approaching, who said to him: “Well, Sheykh Muhammed! Until Jelālu-’d-Dīn chastised thee, thou wert no Muslim, and wert given over to stiffneckedness. Had not I interceded for thee, thou hadst been dead to all eternity, shut out from every hope of heaven.” Muhammed protested his sincere repentance, became a dervish, and professed himself a disciple. 13. When Husāmu-’d-Dīn had faithfully executed for ten years, as a just and wise steward, all his duties as successor to Jelālu-’d-Dīn, he one day went, with his companions and disciples, to visit the shrine of his predecessor. As he drew near to the mausoleum, information was brought to him that the gilt crescent surmounting the cupola had fallen down. On the moment, Husām felt himself to be stricken. He asked for an examination of dates to be made, and found that ten years previously Jelāl had departed this life. He therefore said to those around him: “Lead me back home. The time for my dissolution is at hand.” He was conducted to his chamber, where, a few days later, on Thursday, the twenty-second of Sha’bān, in the year A.H. 683 (4th November, A.D. 1284), he breathed his last exactly at the time when the gilt crescent was replaced over Jelāl’s tomb, and the works brought to a close. 14. Shortly after the death of Husāmu-’d-Dīn, the widow of Jelāl, Kirā Khātūn, too, departed this life, and was buried by the side of her husband. As her corpse was being borne towards its last resting-place, the procession passed through one of the gates of the town. Here, the bearers found themselves arrested by some unseen power, so that they could not move, hand or foot. This singular effect lasted for about half an hour. Her stepson, Sultan Veled, with the other mourners, struck up a hymn, and commenced a holy dance. Soon after this, the bearers recovered the use of their limbs, and found themselves able to proceed. All now went well, and the interment was completed.
