A text at the current exit: “Constantinople shall be surely conquered, how blessed the commander who will conquer it, how blessed his army”, hadith supposedly quoting Mohammed.

The sultan, who had promised three days of plunder, decided to cut that period down to one day, when there was little left to plunder anyway.
