The Majalisu-s Salatin of Muhammad Sharif Hanafi contains some anecdotes of Muhammad Tughlik. This author was born in the Dakhan, and flourished in the reign of Shah Jahan. One anecdote states that Kazi Kamalu-d din, the chief justice, reported to the sultan that Shaikh Zida Jam had called him unjust, because he massacred the wives and children of the criminals condemned to die. The Shaikh was placed in an iron cage, and on the sultan’s journey to Daulatabad, was taken on the back of an elephant. When the sultan returned to Delhi, the Shaikh was taken out and cut in pieces before the court.
