 it is the right of the king to keep his secrets from his father mother brother wife and friend. the king tolerates every flawed and despised person but he cannot tolerate three one of them would question his kingship another would divulge his secrets and another would betray him in his private quarters.
ومن حق الملك أن يكتم أسراره عن الأب والأم والأخ والزوجة والصديق. فإن الملك يحتمل كل منقوص ومأنوف، ولا يحتمل ثلاثة صفة أحدهم أن يطعن في ملكه، وصفة الآخر أن يذيع أسراره، وصفة الآخر أن يخونه في حرمه.
