in this mosque the leader of the yellow man was lying down during his youth due to his love for the aforementioned minister abu omar. he used to leave the prayer in the masrur mosque where he lived and he used to go to this mosque day and night for a strange reason until the guards seized him more than once at night while he was leaving the last evening prayer. he used to sit and look from him until the young man became angry and annoyed and would stand up to him and beat him severely and slap his cheeks and eyes and he would be pleased with that and say this by god is my greatest wish may my eyes be comforted. and he was like this for a while going along with it.
في هذا المسجد كان مربض مقدم الأصفر أيام حداثته لعشق بعجيب فتلا الوزير أبي عمر المذكور، وكان يترك الصلاة في مسجد مسرور وبها كان سكناه، ويقصد في الليل والنهار إلى هذا المسجد بسبب عجيب، حتى أخذه الحرس غير ما مرة في الليل في حين انصرافه عن صلاة العشاء الآخرة، وكان يقعد وينظر منه إلى أن كان الفتى يغضب ويضجر ويقوم إليه فيوجعه ضربا ويلطم خديه وعينيه، فيسر بذلك ويقول هذا والله أقصى أمنيتي قرت عيني، وكان على هذا زمانا يماشيه.
