"He understood what they wanted ..."

Ibn Taymiyyah wrote :
“When Abu Bakr Ibn Abit-Tayyib was about to meet the Christian’s King in Constantinople, the Christians feared that he would not make Sujood (for the King), therefore, they made him walk through a little door (so that he bows down). He understood what they wanted, thereupon he walked in to the King with his back before.”

["Al-Minhaaj", 2/56].
