During the reign of the Ottomans, Muslims believed in signs of destiny and prophetic dreams.
In the TV series "The Magnificent Age", the viewers are shown more than once a picture in which Suleiman sees a prophetic dream, for the interpretation of which he often turns to the wise Qadi Efendi.
In one of the walks with his sons, an elder meets on the way of Suleiman, who calls himself a wandering dervish.
The elder warns the master:
- Be very careful, lord! Take care of yourself while hiking! Especially beware of the sight of your own blood, otherwise when you return, you will lose everyone you love.
After these words, the dervish takes off his hat and throws it at the feet of the sovereign.
According to legend, at whose feet a wandering dervish throws a hat, trouble will fall on that house.
After this walk, the sovereign has a dream in which he goes to the call of his children, and entering the room, finds them wrapped in white cloth.
Not far from the children, in the same form, Khyurrem, the Sultan, lies. Shahzade Mustafa is sitting in the next room on the throne of Suleiman.
Of course, it was only a dream, but Suleiman understood that he and his loved ones were in danger.
In the campaign, Suleiman did not shed his own blood, but still during this time in the harem, an unpleasant incident occurred. His daring Hurrem disappeared.
The troubles do not end there, Khatija - the Sultan drinks poison, Mehmet will get sick and leave this world, and then Suleiman himself will personally give the order to execute Shahzade Mustafa.
As the dervish had warned, misfortune fell upon the sovereign.
