the king has no right to allow anyone to leave his seat except to fulfill a need. if he wants to do so it is obligatory that he does not notice him. if the king is silent he stands before him then notices him. if he looks at him he goes to fulfill his need. if he returns he stands before him forever even if that takes a long time until he signals to him to sit. if he sits he should sit crosslegged or kneeling. if he looks at him after he has sat that is his permission for him to remain seated.
وليس من حق الملك أن يبرح أحد من مجلسه إلا لقضاء حاجة. فإذا أراد ذلك، فمن الواجب أن لا يلاحظه، فإن سكت الملك قام بين يديه، ثم لاحظه، فإن نظر إليه، مضى لحاجته. فإذا رجع، قام ماثلا بين يديه أبدا، وإن طال ذلك، حتى يوميء إليه بالقعود، فإذا قعد، فمقعيا أو جاثيا. فإن نظر إليه، بعد قعوده، فهو إذنه له بالتمكن في قعوده.
