Text on source
ثم إذا بقينا في بيلول هذا نحو الشهر نلازم الصلاة الجمعة والجهر بالخطبة لمولانا أمير المؤمنين المتوكل على الله رب العالمين أيده الله التعالى وصمنا هنالك شهر رمضان المعظم وخرجنا لصلاة العيد والسلطان شحيم معنا بجمعه وأصحابه ناشرين الأعلام مظهرين شعائر الإسلام وصلينا جبانة البلد وخطبنا كذلك خطبة العيد المأثورة مع ذكر الإمام عليه السلام والدعاء له جهرا على رؤوس الأنام
English translation
We stayed (baḳaynā) about two months in Baylūl, attending the Friday-ṣalāt and proclaiming in the khuṭba our lord the Commander of the Believers al-Mutawakkil ʿalā Allāh - may God support him -. We also fasted there during the revered month of Ramaḍān. We went out to the ṣalāt al-ʿīd, sultan Shuḥaym being in the gathering and his companions hoisting the flags and showing the banners of Islam. We prayed in the cemetery of the town and delivered also the customary khuṭba of the Feast, also mentioning the Imam - peace be upon him - and praying for him publicly over the heads of the people.
