Al-Suyuti says that in 773 AH he introduced a green mark on the turbans of the sharifs. In 778 AH he travelled to the pilgrimage with the caliph, the judges and the amirs, but the amirs turned against him. He returned to Cairo and hid until they found him and strangled him in Dhu al-Qa'da, and his son Ali al-Mansur was made sultan. 2
