According to a 17th-century chronicler, Ibrahim had asked Suleiman not to promote him to such high positions, fearing for his safety; to which Suleiman replied that under his reign, no matter what the circumstance, Ibrahim would never be put to death.
Potrivit unui cronicar din secolul 17, Ibrahim i-a cerut lui Suleiman să nu-l promoveze la aceste poziții înalte, temându-se pentru siguranța lui, la care Suleiman a răspuns că sub domnia lui, indiferent de circumstanță, Ibrahim nu va fi pedepsit cu moartea.
