Ottomans beheading ================= In the year 1818M – i.e. 1234H – Abdullaah (Imaam Abdullaah ibn Saood ibn Abd al- Azeez ibn Muhammad ibn Saood,) was taken via al- Qaahirah (Cairo) road to al-Astaanah (Istanbul), accompanied by two of those close to him, at the beginning of Kaanoon al-Awwal (December). And the Russian ambassador in al- Astaanah gave the following information: Last week, the leader of the Wahhaabiyyoon, his minister and his imaam, who had been captured in ad-Diriyyah and later taken to the capital, were beheaded. Seeking to add to the impression of his victory over the worst enemies of the two cities that are considered to be the cradle of al-Islaam, the sultaan ordered on that day for an assembly to be made in the old palace in the capital, and they brought to the palace the three prisoners, bound in heavy chains and surrounded by the crowds of spectators. And after the introductory formalities, the sultaan ordered their execution, so the leader was beheaded in front of the main gate of the Hagia Sofia, and the minister was beheaded in front of the Saraay Entrance, and the third was beheaded in one of the main markets in the capital. And their bodies were put out on display with their heads under their armpits, and after three days they were thrown into the sea. And His Majesty ordered the observance of a special prayer of thanks to Allaah for the victory of the sultaans armies, and for the extermination of the group that had laid waste to Makkah and al-Madeenah, spread fear in the hearts of the Muslims, and exposed them to danger.
