Overview
The two letters
Murad sent two letters in Rajab 988 AH (September 1580 CE). Al-Salabi says that news of the king of Castile and his seizure of the sultanate of Portugal had reached the sultan and stirred his Islamic zeal. He called for a treaty between the two kingdoms to be hung on the Ka'ba. He offered, if this were done, to send three hundred imperial galleys and an Ottoman army to conquer the lands of al-Andalus. 2
The data does not give the Sa'dis' reply, which needs an additional source.
