and this is what abdul malik bin muhalhil alhamdani did yesterday. sulayman bin abi ja`far had been rude to him. so he came to him one day at noon when the sun was already setting. he asked permission to enter but the chamberlain said to him this is not the time to give permission to the prince.
وهكذا فعل بالأمس عبد الملك بن مهلهل الهمداني، وكان سليمان ابن أبي جعفر قد جفاه. فأتاه يوما في قائم الظهيرة، والهجيرة تقد. فاستأذنن فقال له الحاجب ليس هذا بوقت إذن على الأمير.
