– One evil person spoke against the Patriarch and lied to Ahmed Ibn Tulun that he had a great wealth, so the governor asked for the churches’ positions since he was preparing for war
– When the Pope refused, he arrested him for one year, then he freed him after imposing a fine to be paid in two installments
– After paying the first installment, the Pope could not collect what was due for the second installment, so he received a message, saying, “The Lord will tear the fine’s bond against you after forty days.” in less than forty days, Ibn Tulun died and his son Khumarawayh became ruler who tore the bond and pardoned the Pope and honored him
