PREFACE.
In the Preface to the companion volume of the present
work, which contains the facsimile of a MS. of the Tarikh

-i-Guzida brought from Persia in the summer of 1907 by
my friend Mirza 'Âbdu '1-Husayn Khan Wahidu 'l-Mulk, I
announced my intention (p. XVl) of discussing in this volume

with greater fulness the various questions connected with
this history and its author. Now, however that this volume,
which contains an abridged translation of the text, together
with the Indices necessary for the convenient use of the
latter, is ready for publication, I find that I am not in a
position add anything of importance on these questions

to
to what has been already published or referred to in the
previous volume; and all that now appears

necessary is that
I should briefly explain its structure and production.
This volume consists of two parts, the English Abstract
of Contents or Abridged Translation of the text, occupying
237 pages; and the Persian Indices to the text, which were
omitted from the previous volume, to which they properly
belong, in order to avoid increasing its already considerable

bulk (854 -J- 20 pages).
The Indices are entirely the work of my friend and col-
league Dr. R. A. Nicholson, who undertook the laborious

task of constructing them with his usual kindness, and has
carried it out with his customary thoroughness. They are
four in number, viz.-.^
(i) Index of persons mentioned in the text, both men and

women (pp. 5
— 182).
(2) Index of nisbas (pp. 183

— 224).
XIV PREFACE.
(3) Index of place names and tribal names (pp. 225 277). —
(4) Index of books cited or referred to in the text (pp..
278—286).
Dr. Nicholson has been kind enough to write a short note
explaining the principles which have guided him in the con-

struction of these Indices, rendered the more difficult by
the scribe's errors which mar the text reproduced in the
facsimile, and this note is added at the end of the Preface.

For the Abridged Translation, or Abstract of Contents, I
must assume entire responsibility, though I have received
the most valuable help from my learned friend Mirza
Muhammad of Qazwi'n, to whom each proof was submitted
and by him returned with many important corrections, ob-
servations andannotations, which have been for the most
part incorporated in the text or in foot-notes. In making

such an Abstract it is very difficult to avoid being swayed
by personal predilections and idiosyncrasies, and I am con-

scious that I may have unduly compressed such portions
of the work as appeared to me less interesting, and, on the
other hand, unduly expanded other portions which seemed
to me of greater interest. The thick numbers in brackets
occurring throughout the Translation indicate the pages of

first volume, and it is these
the facsimile contained in the
which must he regarded when the Persian Indices are em-
ployed in connection with the English Abstract.
My attention has been called to an unfortunate error in

the facsimile, between pp. 226 and 231, which,
occurring
owing, probably, to the adhesion of two leaves of the ori-
ginal MS., has resulted in the complete omission of pp. 227
and 228, and the insertion twice over of pp. 229 and 230.

In conclusion, the aim of this volume is to serve as a
guide for the English student of Oriental history to one of the

more ancient and reputable historical manuals which are so
popular in Persia, and if it fulfils in this respect somewhat
the same function as Major David Price's old but still useful
Retrospect, I shall be well satisfied.

NOTE ON THE INDICES.
It may be helpful to those using the Indices if I state the
method of arrangement which I have adopted. Since no

difficulties are likely to arise in connection with the names
of places, tribes, or books, my remarks on this point will
refer almost exclusively to the First Index, which contains

the names of persons.
(i) The definite article ,
\\ and the words .,\ '".\ .,,\ ^v^-,
^ are ignored. Thus, aIW.

jij'^\
is placed under c. , and
Jcli; under .
y\ .
(2) Names consisting of a proper noun followed by a nisda

^- S-> (S'y^ jViac , are placed under the initial letter of
the noun.
(3) Names consisting of a kunya followed by a nisba e.g.,
"U^-.?- y\ ,
are usually placed under the initial
ijjyj:i
letter of the secund word in the kwiya.
(4) Names consisting of a kunya followed by a proper
noun, e.
g., ^^ j,*-\ AW ^.s-
y\ ,
are usually placed
under the initial letter of the noun, whether a nisba

follows or not; but sometimes they are placed under
the ktinya, for special reasons thus
: V,
^ a».< SC^
^ \
J, V^'^
will be found under »_j ,
because he is commonly
known as
J,V6 jC J\. Many names of this kind occur
in the Index twice, viz., under the kunya and also
under the proper noun.
XVII I NOTE ON THE INDICES.
As a rule, the names are printed in the Indices just as
they stand in the facsimile. A large number of them are
corrupt, and many are written so defectively that it was

not easy — in some instances I found it impossible — to
decipher them. Some obvious mistakes have been corrected

and the true reading has frequently been determined by
reference to Ibn Hisham, Tabarf, Ibn al-Athir and other au-
thorities, but no âttempt has been made to control and

verify the names systematically. This must be left for the
first Editor of the Tarikh-i-Guzida, and I do not envy
him the task.

ABSTRACT OF CONTENTS OF THE
TA'RIKH-I-GUZIDA.
Praise of God (l
— 2) and of the Prophet and his family (3).
The Author, Hamdu'llah Ahmad b. Abi Bakr b. Nasr, the
Mustawfi (State accountant) of Qazwin, describes how he

imbibed a taste for historical studies from the late minister
Rashidu'd-EWn Fadlu'llah, in whose service he had been, and

who was constantly surrounded by men of learning (3 — 4),
until at length, notwithstanding his lack of early training in
literature and historical science, he began to compose a great
historical poem [the Zafar-ndma, a supplement to the Shdh-

ndma of Firdawsi] '), giving
an account of the history of the
world from the advent of the Prophet Muhammad down to
his own times. Of poem, designed to contain 75,000
this
verses, he had already composed more than 50,000 verses

(4
— 5),
and it was his intention to dedicate it, when com-
pleted, to Ghiyathu'd-Di'n Muhammad, the worthy son and
successor of his late patron the deceased minister Rashi'du'd-
Din Fadlu'llah (5
— 6). Having recited the titles and praised
the virtues of his patron, and apologized for the unworthi-
ness of his offering (7),
he proceeds to enumerate the prin-
cipal sources of information used for the compilation of this
present manual of history, which are as follows (8) :
(i) The SiratiCn-Nabi [Ibn Hisham's Biography of the

Prophet is
presumably intended].
(2) The Qisasii l-Anbiy d. [Ath-Tha'âlibi's work is probably
meant].
(3) Ar-Risdlatu' l-Qushayriyya.
(4) The Tadhkiratiil-Awliyd [?

of Faridu'd-Din *Âttar].

This compendium is entitled TaWikh-i-Guzida ("the Select
History"), and was completed in the year A. H. 730 (8). The

preface concludes with a prayer that it may be honoured
by the perusal of Ghiyathu'd-Din, and that the faults of omis-

sion and commission which mar its pages may be overlooked.
TABLE OF CONTENTS OF THE GUZIDA (9).
Of the different eras used by historians, e.g. (i) from the

Fall of Adam ; (2) from *the Deluge (3) from the casting of
;
Abraham into the fire; (4) from the Call of Moses; (5) from
the destruction from the building of the

of Pharaoh; (6)
Ka'^ba; (7) from the accession of Alexander the Great; (8)

from the invasion of Yaman by the Abyssinians; (9) from
the reign of Nebuchadnezzar; (10) from the "Year of the
Elephant", etc. Of these eras, the Israelites employed Nos.
4 and 5 the Ishmaelites (or Arabs) No. &\ the Greeks and
;
Romans No, 7; the Yamanites No. 8; the Copts No. 9, and

the Arabs of Quraysh No, 10. From this diversity of eras
arose much confusion (10), which the Prophets have not
endeavoured to remove, while the philosophers either deny
that the world had a beginning, or, as in the case of the
sages of India, Cathay, Chinese Tartary, China and Europe,

assign to the first man a remote antiquity, or assert the
existence of several successive "Adams". The Muhammadans
of Persia reckon 6000 years, more or less, from x^dam to
Muhammad. The astronomers estimate that from the Deluge
until the present time, A. Y. 698, 4433 years have elapsed.

INTRODUCTION: ON THE CREATION (16).
God, by the word Kun ("Be!") created the two worlds,

the unseen "World of Command" l^dlam-i-amr), and the
visible"World of Creation" ^dlam-i-khalq). The Universal
Reason, the World-Soul, Matter, the Four Elements, the
Nine Spheres, the Seven Planets, the Twelve Signs
Stars, the
of the Zodiac. (17)

Revolution of the Spheres. Cause —
of night and day and of the seasons. The "Seven Sires", —
"the Four Mothers", and the "Threefold Offspring". Origin

of the sea, storms and mountains. — Appearance of minerals,

vegetables and animals.
— Creation of Man.
CHAPTER I. — THE PROPHETS (18).
According to a tradition reported by Abu Dharr al-Ghif-

farfthere were 124,000 Prophets (100,000 in this MS.), of
whom 3 3 were Miirsal '). Of these 4 were Syrians, viz.
1
Adam, Seth, Enoch (who is Idris, the first who wrote) and
Noah; while 4 were Arabs, viz. Hud (19), Salih, Shu*âyb
(/.
e. Jethro) and Muhammad. Of the Hebrew Prophets the
first was Moses and the last Jesus. The Revelations made to
these Prophets comprised 100 tablets [Sakifa) and 4 books,

viz. 50 tablets to Seth, 30 to Enoch, 10 to Abraham [and
10 to Moses before the Pentateuch ^)],
and the Pentateuch, the
Gospel, Psalms and the Qur'an.
the Six of the greatest —
of the Prophets held the rank of Ulul-'âzm, viz. Adam,
Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad. The Author —

has only succeeded in finding mention of 73 Major Prophets
{Mtirsal) and 45 Minor Prophets. — The former number,

he considers, accords well with the allegorical sense of these
two traditions: —
"The doctors of my Church are as the
Prophets of the Children of Israel", and. "My Church shall
become divided in to 73 sects, whereof one, that which I
and my Companions follow, shall be saved." — Definition

of the terms nabi (20), imirsal, and iiliil-âzm.

Seth.
Seth succeeded Adam, received revelations from God, and

denounced the Fire-worship practised by the children of
Cain. — He built the Ka'^ba, died at the age of 912 years,
and was succeeded by his son Enos [Anush), who lived
965 years and first cultivated the date. He was succeeded
by his son Cainan, who lived 920 years, and began to build
Babel. He was succeeded by his son Mahalaleel [Mahalail),
who (25) 895 years, and was succeeded by his son

lived
Jared, who lived 962 years. All these were born during
Adam's life-time.
Idris, soti of Jared, called Enoch [Akhnukh).

versed in Astronomy, and invented writing, spinning, weaving
and sewing. He built the Pyramids and foretold the Deluge.

Noah, the great-grandson of Idris, received revelations

from God, and preached to his people for 950 years (26),
during which period 80 believed. He makes the Ark, —

which is described. — The Flood begins in an oven at Kufa,
submerges the "habitable quarter" of the earth and all the
mountains, and continues for six. months. The Ark rests —
THE PROPHETS. — NOAH. II
on Mount Judf near Mawsil, and Noah and his companions

leave it on Muharram lo (the Âshw'd). — They build a
village there called [Siiq] Thamdnin, "the [Market of the]
Eighty" ').
— Noah died at the age of 1600 years, or 1300
years.
— Since most of the inhabitants of the earth are
descended from Noah, he is sometimes entitled "the second
Adam". He had four sons, Shem, Ham and Japhet, who
believed and ware saved in the Ark, and Canaan (27), who
disbelieved and was drowned.
Shem is held by some to have been a prophet, and most
of the prophets and all the Persians are descended from
him. He had six sons, of whom the eldest was Arfakhshad,
from whon Qahtan and Faligh were descended in the fourth
generation. The latter was the ancestor of the Persians,
while most of the Arabs are descended from the former,
whose son, spoke Arabic. From Qahtan sprang
YaVub, first
the Himyarites, the Lakhmites, and Saba (Sheba), who wds

the father of Quda'â, Ashâri, Azd and Tayyi'. Shem's second
son, "Âlim,begot Khurasan and Haytal. The former begot

'Îraq, and the latter Kirman and Mukran. Shem's third son
was Aswad, who begot Ahwaz and Pahlu, of whom the
latter begot Pars. Shem's fourth son was Nudhar, who begot
Adharbad and Arran, Arman and Mughan. Shem's fifth son

was Iram, from whom were descended the tribes of "Âd
and Thamud. Shem's sixth son was Yafan, who begot Sam
and Rum.
Ham is the ancestor of all the blacks. The story of Noah's
drunkenness and Ham's irreverence (28), and how it was
punished. Ham had also six sons, Zangi, Kus, Hind, Barbar,
Qibt, Habash. The last was the father of Nuba.

Japhet had eight sons, Turk, Khazar, Saqlab, Rus, Bishak,
Mughul, Gog and Magog. Chin and Machin are the sons of
l) Tabari, i, 197.
Khutan, and the Bulghars, Birtasis and Bashghirdis are also

his descendants, as well as the Greeks, Franks and some
of the Romans.' After the death of Noah, all these dwelt
together in Babel for one night their

many years, until
common language was taken from them and each awoke

speaking a different tongue, whereupon they separated, and
the land where each settled became known by his name.
Hud.
Hiid, the fifth great prophet, is variously accounted a son

of 'Abir or "Ad, to which latter tribe he was sent. He
preached to them with little success for fifty years. He then
cursed them, and God withheld rain from them for three
years. They sent the sage Luqman to Mecca to ask for rain
(29).
— A black, a red and a white cloud appear, and the
men of 'Ad are told to choose. They choose the black cloud,
and are all destroyed by a violent tempest, in the month
of Shawwal, during the bardiil-âjuz, or "Old Woman's Cold".
Hud survived this event for fifty years, died at the age of
150 years, and is buried at Hadramawt.
Sdlih.
Salih was sent to the tribe of Thamud. His miracle con-

sists in bringing a female camel and its young one out of
the rock. Thamud refuse to believe and kill the camel. God
causes their faces to turn yellow and then black, and finally
destroys them by a loud noise from heaven. Salih lived to

be 258 (or 180) years of age. He was buried at Mecca.
Handhala.
Handhala b. Safwan was descended from Fihr

Qahtan, b.
and was sent to the Ahlur-Rass, or people of Rass, who

was a king of the people of Nimrod (30) in the West. This
king had apostasised, and claimed to be God, and his people
THE PROPHETS. — ABRAHAM. 1 3
practised various unnatural crimes, of some of which the

perpetrators are still called Rass and Sd^tari. God finally
destroyed them all by thirst, and by the arrows which they

would have shot at Handhala.
Abraham, called Khalilulldh (31).
Genealogy of Abraham, His father Azar was Nimrod's

wazir. The astrologers foretell the birth in Nimrod's time
of a prophet who will cause his destruction, and Nimrod
consequently orders a massacre of all male children born at
that period. Abraham was hidden by his mother in the
place now called Birs [Nimrud] near Kufa, which the author
visited. At the age of seven he emerged from the cave
where he was hidden, and, after worshipping the heavenly

bodies, he is guided to the worship of God. He preaches to
Nimrod and denounces idol-worship. At the suggestion of
Iblis, Nimrod casts Abraham by means of a great catapult
into the fire. He refuses help from the angel Gabriel, and
the turned into a rose-garden, whence he emerged safe
fire is
and sound, being at that time 60 years of age. Nimrod,

desiring to make war on God, constructs an aeriel car drawn
by vultures, and from it
(32) discharges an arrow towards
heaven, which returns to him stained with blood. Nimrod
(whom some identify with the Persian Ka'us) increases in
arrogance and claims to be God. Abraham with his wife

Sara (who is also his cousin, and the most beautiful of
women) and his family and retainers retires from Babel to

Egypt. The king of Egypt, Sinan b. "Ûlwan desires Sara
for himself, and takes her from Abraham, but is divinely
prevented from touching her. He restores her to Abraham,

and presents Hagar to her. They retire from Egypt to
Palestine. A bag of sand miraculously turned to flour.
(33) Why Abraham is entitled Khalihi lldh ("the Friend of
God"). Nimrod, renewing his rebellion against God, is des-

troyed by a gnat which enters his brain. Sara gives Hagar

to Abraham, and she bears him a son, Ishmael, Abraham
being then 86 years old.

—
Circumcision is instituted. Sara's
jealousy drives out Hagar and Ishmael to Mecca. The spring

of Zamzam appears. Ishmael is brought up by the Banii
Jurhum. Abraham prepares to offer up Ishmael. A ram is
accepted as his substitute {34). A year later Isaac is born

to Abraham by Sara, she being then seventy years old. —
Ishmael divorces his Jurhumite wife to please Abraham. At
God's command they repair the Ka'^ba, set up the Black
Stone and institute the Pilgrimage to Mecca. Sara dies at
the age of 130 years. Abraham marries again and survives
Sara fifty years. He dies at the age of 200 and is buried
at Hebron in Syria, at the place now called Khalilu'llah.
Ten tablets {sahifa) were revealed to him. Various practices,
chiefly in respect to personal cleanliness, which he instituted.
Lot (35).
The seven Cities of the Plain, San*â, Saw'â, ''Amra (= Go-

morrah), Rijya and Sodom, said to have been situated between
Kirman and Sfstan '). —
Wickedness of their inhabitants. —
The three angels, Gabriel, Michael and Israfil, entertained
by Lot. Destruction of the Cities of the Plain and flight of
Lot and his family, except his wife (36), who is destroyed
by a stone from heaven. Lot survived her 7 years and died
on a Wednesday in the month of Rabf I.
Ishmael
Ishmael was sent as a prophet to the Amalekites of Yaman
and Hadramawt, to whom he preached the religion of Abra-
ham for fifty years. He died at the age of 130 and was
buried at Mecca beside his mother
Hagar.
l) This idea probably arose from the fact that the desert east of KirmAn
is called Dasht-i-Lut^ and that this was misinterpreted as "the Plain of Lot".
THE PROPHETS. — ISAAC, JACOB, JOSEPH. 1
5
Isaac.
Isaac was sent to the people of Syria. The story of Esau

and Jacob and of Isaac's blessing, by virtue of which all the
sqcceeding prophets except four, viz. Khidr, Job, Shu'âyb

[-=: Jethro) and Muhammad, were of the posterity of Isaac.
Isaac died at the age of 180, and was buried beside Abra-
ham in the year wherein Joseph became ruler âziz) of Egypt.
Jacob (37).
Jacob, fearing the wrath of his brother Esau, fled by night

into Canaan; wherefore he was called Israel. He marries
his cousin. Of his two wives the elder bore him six sons,
Judah, Reuben, Simeon, Issachar and Zebulon; the

Levi,
younger two, Joseph and Benjamin; and each of his two

concubines two, the one Dan and Naphtali, the other Gad
and Asher. Joseph was born when Jacob was 89 years old,
was lost to him when he was 90 years old, was separated
from him for 40 years, and recovered by him when he was

130 yea^s old. Jacob died in Egypt at the age of 147 and
was buried at Khalilu'llah.
Joseph.
Joseph's incomparable beauty. His vanity and its punish-

ment. His dream. He is cast into the pit by his brethren
and sold to a trader for 20 dirhams. His brethren tell Jacob
that a wolf has destroyed Joseph (38). Joseph is sold for five
times his weight of musk, which in Egypt exceeds gold in value,

to the 'Âziz-i-Misr, who was treasurer to the King of Egypt.
Zalikha falls in love with Joseph, she being then 15 years
old and he 17. His chastity, and her calumny. The Egyptian
ladies,amazed at Joseph's beauty, cut their hands instead
of the oranges which they hold. — Joseph's imprisonment.

sdldr) are cast into prison. Joseph interprets their dreams
(39). The king Rayan's dream of the fat and the lean kine.
Joseph interprets it, and, on the death of his former master,

is made treasurer and placed in control of all the granaries.
He being then 32 years of age, asks for Zalikha in marriage.

She bears him two Ephraim and Manasseh. Joseph's
sons,
brethren come to buy corn in Egypt. He bids them bring
Benjamin {40). Their second journey to Egypt with Ben-
jamin. Joseph detains Benjamin. Jacob's bitter grief. He be-
comes blind from his much weeping. Third journey of Jo-
seph's brethren to Egypt. He reveals himself to them, and
sends his shirt by them to Jacob, who rubs it on his eyes
and recovers Jacob returns with his sons to Egypt,

where he dies seventeen years later. Joseph survives him

23 years, and then dies aged 97. His body is placed in a
glass coffin which is sunk in the Nile, but is afterwards
recovered by Moses and buried at Khalilu'Ilah (41). Discus-

sion of the question whether Joseph^s brethren were prophets.
Khidr.
His name was Balya b, Malkan b. Faligh etc. He was born

before the time ofAbraham, was a contemporary of Dhu'l-
Qarnayn the greater, and accompanied him in his search
for the Water of Life, which he drunk and so became im-
mortal. Allegorical explanation of this legend.

THE PROPHETS. — MOSES. 1
7
Moses, called Kalimu'lldh,
He was born in Egypt in the reign of Walid b. Mus'âb.
b. Rayyan, (the grandson of Joseph's Pharaoh) who greatly

oppressed the and killed their male children
Israelites (43)
on account of a prediction of his astrologers. The child
Moses, consigned to the Nile, is found by one of the hand-

maidens of Asiya, Pharaoh's wife, and adopted by her. His
own mother is engaged to nurse him. When two years old
he one day plucked Pharaoh by the beard. Pharaoh wished
to kill him, but was dissuaded by Asiya, who, to show the
child's lack of discrimination, place^ before him two bowls,
one filled with fire and one with rubies. Moses picked up a
burning coal and put it in his mouth, and, in consequence
of the burn which it inflicted, he was ever afterwards unable
to speak clearly. At the age of 20 he was given a wife,
who bore him two sons. At the age of 26 he killed the
Egyptian and fled from Egypt to Shu'âyb (Jethro), whose
daughter he married after he has served Jethro as a shepherd
for two years. She bears him two sons. Moses returns to
Egypt. The episode of the Burning Bush on Mount Sinai (44).
The miracles of the "White Hand" and the Rod which
turned into a serpent are vouchsafed to Moses, and he is
sent to Egypt accompanied by his brother Aaron to act as
his spokesman. Pharaoh is obdurate and brings his magicians

to contend against Moses, but they are convinced by his
miracles and believe in him, whereupon they are put to death
by Pharaoh. The seven plagues wherewith God afflicts the

Egyptians, together with the two miracles of the Rod and
the "White Hand" make up the Nine Signs of Moses (45).
Flight of Moses with the from Egypt. They cross

Israelites
the Red Sea, which the Egyptians seeking to do are drowned.

with God. (46) Moses asks, but is not permitted to see God,
whose effulgence causes Mount Sinai to be shivered in pieces
(from some of which, it is said, Mount Uhud was produced),
whereat the 70 witnesses die of fright, but are restored to
life by Moses' prayer.
— The story of Samirf and the Golden
Calf,which speaks and moves by virtue of a handful of dust
whereon Gabriel had trod and which Samirf scattered over
it. Moses kills 70,000 of the Calfs worshippers. He desires
to burn the Calf and does so by virtue of an Alchemy

which God teaches him, in despite of his cousin Qarun (Corah).
Qarun learns Alchemy from Moses, and

the secret of this
so becomes wealthy, and rebels against Moses. God causes
the earth to open and swallow him up together with his
wealth (47). A rich Israelite is murdered by his nephews
and his body thrown between two villages, the inhabitants
of which are suspected. Moses bids them kill a cow and
strike the mundered man with one of its limbs, whereupon
he comes to life again and identifies his murderers. The

story of Moses and Khidr (48). Khidr explains the reasons
of the three actions which excited th§ wonder and dis-
approval of Moses. Moses Is sent against Og the son of Anak

(Ûj or "C/q b. "Unuq)^ (49) and kills him in single combat,
by the help of the hoopoe. Balaam, the nephew of Shu'âyb
(Jethro) prays against the Israelites, who lose their way and
wander the wilderness for forty years. The Quails and

Joshua was the nephew and executor of Moses, and led

the children of Israel against the
giants of Syria, took their
land, and Balaam, who at the Resurrection will appear

THE PROPHETS. — JOSHUA — DAVID. 1

He diedat the age of 127 years. He was succeeded by
Caleb, who brought the IsraeHtes back to Egypt and there

died. Next came Ezechiel the Levite, who cursed his people
for their unbelief and they died of a pestilence, but were

again restored to life by his prayer. It is said that a putrid
odour still clings to the descendants of these Jews. Some
historians identify Ezechiel with Dhu'1-Kifl, who will be
mentioned presently, but others say that the former lived
before David and the latter after, which latter statement
.
appears be the more correct. Ezechiel was followed by

to
Phineas, who is said to have been identical with him who

was called Khidr by the Arabs, and who found the Water of
Life but this statement is incorrect, for the Khidr who found
;
the Water of Life was not an Israelite, as was this Khidr, who
was the brother of Elias.
Elias (51).
Elias was sent to preach to the worshippers of Baal,

whom, on account of their unbelief, he afflicted, with drought
and famine. Disgusted by their unbelief, he finally withdrew
into seclusion, appointing as his successor —
Elisha the Ephraimite.
He was, forsome generations, the last of the Hebrew

Prophets.
— The Jews disregard their doctors {ûlama). —
The Ark of the Covenant is captured by Goliath.

David was the eleventh in descent from Jacob. Saul, jealous

of his influence, tries to kill him (53). Saul and his sons are
killed by the Philistines. The Psalms {Zubur) are revealed
to David. — His marvellous sweetness of voice. — His sin

with the wife of Uriah, by whom Solomon is born to him.
— His repentance and forgiveness. — Uriah is restored to
life to assure David of his forgiveness. The Jews, forbidden
to fish on the Sabbath, put down their nets on the Sabbath
and draw them on Sunday. David reproves them, but
in
they pay no heed, and as a punishment are metamorphosed

into pigs. —
David chooses Solomon as his successor and
builds the Temple at Jerusalem. He dies at the age of one
hundred, having reigned forty years.
Solomon (54).
Solomon alone of all mankind was both king and prophet..

— His ring, inherited from Adam, on which was engraved
the Most Great Name of God. — His authority over all
living creatures. — His throne, and how the wind obeys

him and carries him whither he will. — His wise minister,
Asaf b. Barkhiya.
— His adventures with Queen of
Bilqi's,
Sheba (55), whom he marries, and who bears him Rehoboam.
— Solomon's shape assumed and sway usurped by one of
the yinn. —
His death at the age of fifty-five. How his —
death was concealed from the yinn for a year. Mention —
of three or four more obscure prophets
(55

Isaiah.
The Assyrians (or "Babylonians") attack Jerusalem, but

death overtakes their whole
army at the prayer of Isaiah.
— Isaiah waS the first prophet who foretold the advent of
Christ and Muhammad. — He is murdered. — Luhrasp,
king of Persia, sends Ruham the son of Giidarz (who was
called Nebuchadnezzor in Syria) to avenge his death, lay
waste Jerusalem, and bring the Israehtes into
captivity.
THE PROPHETS. — JEREMIAH—JONAH. 21
Jeremiah (57).
Some historians identify Jeremiah with Ezra, asserting that
the latter was his Arabic and the former his Hebrew name.
On the death of Isaiah he fled to Egypt, but was brought
back by Nebuchadnezzor to Jerusalem. Ezra's faith that God
would once again make the Holy Land flourish. His —
soul is taken from his body while he sleeps, and restored
a hundred years later, when Daniel had come, and the
country was once more prosperous.
— He convinces the
Jews that he lived a century earlier by reciting the Tawrdt

(Pentateuch) by heart, and showing thepi where a copy of
the same made by Isaiah was hidden under a pillar of the
temple. Some of the Jews (58) called him the Son of God,
and so became infidels. —
Bahman the son of Isfandiyar,
being vexed with the inhabitants of Jerusalem, sent Nebu-
chadnezzor to destroy it again and massacre or take captive
the Israelites^ who were thus greatly reduced and humbled.
Daniel.
After the death of Bahman, Daniel restored Jerusalem,

and brought back the Israelites thither. God gave him as
his sign a knowledge of the Science of Geomancy. He guided
the Israelites for a time, and then retired into Khuzistan
in Persia, and there died. His tomb was discovered there

by Abu Musa al-Ash'âri when the Arabs conquered Persia
[in
the seventh century of the Christian era.].

minor prophets contemporary with Jonah. Three more, —

of Antioch, of
Sadiq, Sadiiq and Salum, sent to the people
whom, on account of their unbelief, all the adults are des-
troyed by a noise from heaven. — Some say that these three
prophets lived in the interval between Christ

and Muhammad,
and that their story isconnected with the villagers [ashdb-i-
qarya) mentioned in the Qur'an (6o). Five more minor pro-
phets, including Nahum and Habakkuk.
Dhu'l-Kifl.
Some say that he was descended from Job and was an

Arab; othersthat, he was an Israelite. He was sent to a
King of Syria named Canaan [Kan^dn). His tomb is near

Kufa, and was a place of pilgrimage of the Jews, until
Uljaytii (Shah Khuda-banda, the Mongol) took it from them
and gave it to the Muslims, who built a Mosque on the
spot.

— He is put to
death by the king of Jerusalem [Herod] for the sake of
[Herodias] his niece, whom John had forbidden him to marry

(62). The blood of John the Baptist will not dry up or rest,
and the doctors of the law declare that it will not do so
until the blood of his murderers poured upon it. Giidarz

hears
and kills 70,000 Jews, but the blood will not rest until finally
the blood of the murderers is poured over it.
Jesus Christ.
The genealogy of Jesus up to Adam. He was born on

Wednesday, the 25th of Kanun-i-Awwal (December) in the
year 233 of Alexander, at Nasiratu'l-Khalil (Nazareth) near

Jerusalem, on which account his followers are called Nazarenes
[Nasrdni, plural, Nasdra). He alone of all the prophets was
born with the gift of prophecy, for others have only become
prophets after the age of forty. When he was thirty years
of age he came back (63) from Damascus to Jerusalem,
where the Gospel [Injil) was revealed to him, and he began
to summon men to God. The Jews required a miracle, where-
upon he made a bat out of clay, breathed on it, and it flew.
He also healed blind and leprous persons whom the physi-
cians had been unable to benefit, and restored toTife Shem
the son of Noah as a witne^ to them. As the Jews still
remained obdurate, two years' preaching Jesus departed
after
into Egypt. On
way thither he preached to a company
his
of washermen, twelve of whom believed and became the

twelve disciples. — Their names. — They accompany Jesus

Christ to Andalusia {sic), where there is a famine. Jesus
prays, and food is sent down for them from heaven — roast
fish, roast lamb and cress — for three consecutive days.
Some unbelievers ascribed this miracle to magic, and were
turned into swine. Jesus again returned to Jerusalem. The
Jews seek to kill him. He flees, and the Jews seize Simon
[PeterJ,
who refuses to betray his Master. They then seize
Judas, who for 30 dirhams shows them where Jesus is. The
Jews wish to take him, but God conceals him from their
eyes, and transforms into his likeness Yishu', the chief priest
of the Jews, whom

they crucify (64) in his stead, while
Jesus ascends into heaven, he being then thirty-two years
of age. Yishu' remained on the Cross for seven days and
nights, and Mary used to go every night and weep at the

foot of the Cross, until, on the seventh night, God sent
down Jesus from heaven to comfort her. John the Baptist
and seven of the Disciples also saw Jesus, and spent that
night with him, and he gave them many wise counsels, some
of which are here given. — The Jews conquered by the
Romans. — The Disciples disperse, two going to Rome,
one to Qayruwan, one to Ifriqiyya (Tunis), one to the Franks,
one to the Hijaz, and one to Jerusalem (65)- Rapid diffusion
of Christianity. Reverence for the Cross. Some regard —
Jesus as God, and some as the Son of God, while others
regard him and his mother Mary as partners of God, all of
which beliefs are heresy. Mary died six years after Jesus
had ascended into heaven.

Dhu'l-Qarnayn al-Akbar.
Some say that it was he who built the
Sadd-i-Ydjuj (Great
Wall) and journeyed round the world, and that he lived
before Abraham and was contemporary with Khidr, who
accompanied him in his search for the Water of Life ;

but
others assert that these deeds are to be ascribed to the
other Dhu'l-Qarnayn, namely Iskandar (Alexander the Great)
the son of Darab the son of Bahman. Dhu'l-Qarnayn is

This Dynasty included 3 rulers, who reigned for 33 years.

took to highway robbery, wherein, however, he observed a
certain chivalry which led to his being employed in a military
capacity by Dirham b. Nasr b. Rafi"^ b. Layth b. Nasr b. Sayyar.
(i) Ya'^qub b. Layth.
His son Ya'^qub revolts against the sons of Dirham, Salih

and Nasr, (374), and begins to be powerful in A. H, 237. In
A. H. 253 he was in possession of the whole of Sistan. By a
stratagem he defeats Tanbal the King of Kabul. Two years later
he takes Herat, and shortly afterwards Kirman. (375) He sub-
dues Khurasan and Pars, and is recognized by the Caliph
al-Mu'^tazz as King. He reigned 2 years and 6 months, and
amassed much treasure. He attacks ad-Da*î ila'I-Haqq, and
conquers Mazandaran. He then marches on Baghdad against
the Caliph al-Mu'^tamid, but is defeated at Hulwan, and
retires to Khuzistan, where he dies on Shawwal 14, A.H. 265.

he was secretly in agreement, so that he fell back from

King of Ghur, who once defeated Sultan Mahmud. His

grandson fled to India, where a son was born to him (407)
named Sam, who became a Muslim and went to Dihlf,
where he became a rich merchant. To him was born a son
named Husayn, who suffered shipwreck in one of his voyages,
and, being cast ashore, almost the sole survivor of the crew,
was imprisoned for seven years, when a general amnesty to
prisoners enabled him to make his escape. He fled to Ghazna

and joined a band of robbers, who were captured

retreats in disorder to Ghazna, where his slave 'Ildigiz refuses
to admit him, so he passes on to Multan in Sind, where

his slave Aybak was governor. (412) Having fought and
killed Aybak, who refused to admit him, he collects fresh
troops and returns to Ghazna, which submits. He makes
peace with Khwarazmshah, to whom he cedes Merv and
Nfshapur, retaining Balkh and Herat. In A. H. 602 he under-

of Bamiyan to the sons of Baha'u'd-Din Sam, 'Âla'u'd-Dln

and Jalalu'd-Dfn. Owing to Mahmud's weakness, his pro-
vinces were seized by his governors. Qutbu'd-Dfn Aybak
took his Indian possessions and made Dihli his capital (413),
where he was in turn succeeded by his slave Shamsu'd-Din,
who assumed the title of Sultan, and whose sons succeeded
him until they were overthrown by Sultan Jalalu'd-Din Khalaj.
So likewise Taju'd-Din lldigiz took Ghazna and Zabulistan,

and Qubacha Multan, Lahore, and other Indian provinces,
while Sultan Mahmud retained only Herat and Ffruzkuh.
Sultan Mahmud reigned 7 years, and in A. H. 609 was one
day found dead in his house. The murderer was not found, but
"Âlishah b. Tukush Khun was suspected of instigating the
murder. Thus the line of the House of Ghur came to an

end, and their possessions passed into the hands of Khwa-
razmshah. The kings of Kart, who still ruled in Herat in
the author's time, were descended from the Ghurids.
Section 5. — The House of Day lam or Buwayh.
These were 17 in number, and reigned for 127 years,

from Dhu'l-Qa'da A. H. 321 until A. H. 448. According to
their historian as-Sabf, their ancestor, Buwayh or Buya (414)

was descended from Bahram Gur (genealogy given), and was
born and dwelt in a village Kiyakilish in Daylaman near
Qazwfn. He entered the service of Makan b. Kaki. He had
three sons named 'Âll, Ahmad and Hasan. Asfar b. Shiriiya,
Mardawfj and Washmglr were also in attendance on Makan.

In A. H. 315 Asfar revolted against Makan, but a year later
was assassinated by the Carmathians, and was succeeded by
Mardawfj b. Ziyar, who took possession of Rudbar, Talaqan
and Rustamdar, and later of Mazandaran, Ray, Qazwin,
Abhar, Zanjan and Tarimayn. He also took and sacked Ha-
madan, and made a great massacre there, and defeated
Makan, whom he drove back into Khurasan. Mardawij then
appointed 'Âh' b. Buya and his brothers to occupy Karaj,
and himself marched on Isfahan, whence he drove out the

governor of the Caliph al-Muqtadir, Muzafifar b. Yaqut, who
fled to Fars to his father. (415) Meanwhile Â\i b. Buwayh
and his brothers were in Arrajan, and they with 300 men
fell in with Yaqut with 2000 men at Kurkan. Reinforced
by another 300 Lurs, the Buwayhids defeated Yaqut and

marched on Fars, which they subdued. At this juncture
Mardawij was murdered by his servants while he was in the
bath, and his body was sent from Isfahan to Ray and there
buried in A. H. 321. Âli b. Buwayh then occupied Isfahan,
having defeated Washmgir b. Ziyar, whom he drove back

into Tabaristan. Thus "Âli b. Buwayh became supreme in

pos-

survived his brother nearly 40 years, and held Nawbanjan
in Fars and Kirmanshahan in fief. He was treated with

dynasty came to an end.
Section 6. — The Seljuqs.
Of these there were 3 branches, viz.
(i) The "Great Seljuqs", who ruled over the whole or the
greater part of Persia. They were 14 in number, and reigned

161 years, from A. H. 429 until Rabi"^ i, A. H. 590.

in number, and
reigned 150 years, from A. H. 433 A. H. 583. intil
(3) The Seljuqs of Rum (Asia Minor), who were 1 1 in
number, and re-igned (434) 220 years, from A. H. 480 until

A. H. 700.
Eminence and virtue of the Seljuqs, who were free from
the faults and defects by some of which nearly all other .
"dynasties were characterized. Their orthodoxy, beneficence

and care of their people. Hence they were not afflicted by
rebellious vassals like most previous dynasties.
(i) The Great Seljuqs.
Abu'l-^'Ala al-Ahwal in his history traces Seljuq's descent
through 34 generations from Afrasiyab. Seljuq had 4 sons,

Isra'il, Mika'il, Musa and Yunus, who possessed spacious
pastures in Turkistan. In A. H. 375 they moved into Trans-
oxiana, and settled near Bukhara and Sughd and Samarqand.

Sultan Mahmud
of Ghazna (435) cultivated friendly relations
with them, but, being alarmed by the boasts of Isra'il as to
the number of men whom he could summon to his standard,
treacherously seized him and imprisoned him in the castle

of Kalanjar, where he died 7 years later. Isra'il's brothers
wished to cross the Oxus, but Arslan Hajib advised Sultan
Mahmud not to permit However permission was granted
this.
them, and they settled near Nasa and Baward (Abiward) in

Khurasan. Mfka'fl had 2 sons, Chaghri Beg and Tughril Beg,
who were at the head of these settlers. They won the esteem
and confidence of the people of Khurasan. Sultan Mas'ûd of
Ghazna on his accession attacked them, but was defeated.
(436) Troubles in India prevented him from returning to
the attack, and the governor [Su-bdshi) of Khurasan, whom
he commanded to attack them, was immediately and com-
pletely routed.
(i) Tughril Beg b. Mikd'U b. Seljiiq.
He was crowned at Nishapur in A. H. 429, and appointed
his half-brotherIbrahim b. Inal governor of that city, where

he exercised great tyranny. The remonstrances of the inha-
bitants cause- him to amend A. H. 432 ')

quently be conquered, and made Ray his capital. There he

this he was not able to do until 18 years after his accession,
in A. H. 447. His name was inserted in the khutba and on

the inscriptions of the coins, and he received the titles of
Sultanu'd-Dawla and Yaminu Amiri'l-Mii'minin. The name

Chaghri Beg died in Khurasan in A. H. 453, and was succeeded
by his son Alp Arslan. Tughril died on his way to Ray, where
he intended to consummate his marriage with the Caliph's
daughter Sayyida (439), on Ramadan 8. A. H. 455, and Sayyida
returned with her dowry to Baghdad. Tughril was 70 years
old at the time of his death, and had reigned 26 years.

Alp Arslan's brother Sulayman was nominated as Tu-

ghril's but Tughril Beg's cousin Qutulmish de-

from the Caliph al-Qa'im the titles of Sultan ''Adudu'd-

who reigned for 14 years and died in A. H. 550. He was
succeeded by his son (7) Tughrilshah, who reigned for 12
years and died in A. H. 562. Thereupon his three sons (8)

Arslanshah, Bahramshah and Turanshah contended for the
kingdom for 8 years (480), each ruling the country for a
time, while the land was wasted and laid desolate. Finally

he wished to extirpate his family, but the Nizamu'1-Mulk
dissuaded him, and sent them in command of troops to Syria,
(i) Sulayman b. Qutulmish seized Antioch during the absence
of its ruler. Sharafu'd-Dawla "Âli *), who collected tribute for

the Seljuqs in those parts, demanded tribute from
Sulayman,
who refused it, defeated and killed Sharafu'd-Dawla and
added Aleppo to his domains. He wrote to inform Malikshah
what had happened, but before an answer came was attacked
by Taju'd-Dawla Tutush b. Alp Arslan (481), and, being
deserted by his amirs, committed suicide. Malikshah was
much distressed at his death, and appointed his son (2) Da'iid
to succeed him. Danishmand, being threatened by the By-
zantines, asked help from the surrounding Muslim poten-
tates, and Da'ud came to his assistance, and was rewarded
by the throne of Qonya (Iconium) in A. H. 480. He reigned

20 years and died in A. H. 500. His brother (3) Qilij Arslan
succeeded him and reigned for 40 years. At the end of his
reign Sultan Mas'ûd ruled in "Îraq, and the Caliph, disliking
him, held out to Qilij Arslan hopes of the sovereignty of

Îraq, so, leaving his son Mas'ûd as his vicegerent in Asia
Minor, he marched on Baghdad, but perished in A. H. 539,

and was buried at Mayyafariqin. (482) His son (4) Masîid
succeeded him, reigned 19 years, and died in A. H. 558. He

was succeeded by his son (5) "Îzzu'd-Din Qilij Arslan, who

Qonya, which finally surrenders. Kay-Khusraw escapes to
Constantinople. Ruknu'd-Din receives titles from the Caliph
and takes Arzanu'r-Rum (Erzeroum), but is defeated by the
Georgians. He then prepared to march into Rum, but died
in A. H. 602, after a reign of 24 years and was succeeded

When "Îzzu'd-Din had reigned 18 months, dissensions broke
out amongst the amirs, and Ghiyathu'd-Din Kay-Khusraw
returned, took Qonya, and deposed his nephew, who shortly
afterwards died in captivity. Kay-Khusraw conquered Qara-

was succeeded by his son —
(2) Muhammad b. Niishtigin,
who was appointed by Sinjar, and received the title of
Qutbu'd-Din in A. H. 491. He was a loyal and active vassal

of the Seljuqs, and, after a reign of 30 years, died in A. H.
521. He was succeeded by his son —

(3) Atsiz b. Muhammad.
Heenjoyed great favour with Sinjar. This moved the
other nobles to jealousy, and they succeeded in sowing
mistrust between them. Atsiz retired to Khwarazm, and
presently rebelled against the Sultan, who drove him out

of Khwarazm, and gave the government of it to his nephew
Sulayman b. Muhammad. On Sinjar's departure, Atsiz returned,
recaptured Khwarazm, assumed the title of King and removed

the names of the Seljuqs from the coinage and the khtitba,
in A. H. 535. Congratulatory ode composed by Rashidu'd-
Din Watwat in honour of this event. Anger of Sinjar (488),

servant Bulkatigin. As the author of the Guzida says just above that the dy-

way to Îraq he defeats the Atabeks of Fars and Adhar-
bayjan. The former, SaM b. Zangi, he takes captive, and
before releasing him exacts a tribute amounting to two-thirds
of the revenues of Fars the latter, Uzbek, he
:
puts to flight.
He then marches by way of Asad-abad (near Hamadan) on
Baghdad, but is stopped by heavy snow, which causes great

losses to army. His prestige is much injured by this
his
reverse, and it was at this juncture that certain Mongol
merchants, subjects of Chingiz Khan, who had come to

Utrar, were put to death, and their goods seized (497), by
the governor of that city, who was related to Khwarazm-
shah's mother. Chingiz Khan sent ambassadors to demand
reparation, and these too were insulted and killed. Thereupon
Chingiz Khan declared war on Khwarazmshah, who had an
initial success near Kashghar, in spite of which he retreated,
filled with alarm at the determined valour of the Mongols.
His minister, Badru'd-Din 'Âmid, goes over to the Mongols,
and,by forged letters, succeeds in sowing dissension between
Khwarazmshah and his nobles, and thus makes easy the
advance of the Mongols. (498) Khwarazmshah took refuge
in the Island of Abasgiin in the Caspian, and died there in
A. H. 617 in want and misery. His body was

opposed him by force of arms, and some thousand persons

were slain. Thence he went to Ray and Ffruzkuh, and
entrenched himself in the Castle of Gird-Kuh, which the
Mongols besieged for 6 months and finally captured. As

Ruknu'd-Din refused to bow the knee before the Mongol
commander (499) they slew him and all his soldiers and
attendants in A. H. 619.

On the death of his father he went to Kirman, which his
father had assigned to him. Shujaû 'd-Din Abu'1-Qasim-i-

while he killed Nusrat Malik b. Kharmfl, a favourite of
Jalalu'd-Din, and fled into Khuzistan and later to Kirman,

where Buraq Hajib received him with magnanimity and
concluded a treaty with him. Later a conspiracy was formed
by some of Buraq's relatives (500) to put Ghiyathu'd-Di'n
on the throne. Buraq discovered it, publicly put the con-
spirators to death, and secretly strangled Ghiyathu'd-Dfn

in A. H. 627.

the Mongols and was victorious in all, until finally Chingiz
Khan himself marched against him, in the month of Shaw-
wal, A. H. 618, and defeated him. Jalalu'd-Din with 700 of
his men attempted to swim the river into Sind, but only
he and seven of his companions reached the other shore in
safety. He then gathered a fresh army, conquered a consi-

derable portion of India, and remained there two years,
when, hearing that Chingiz Khan had withdrawn from Persia,
he left Jahan Pahlawan Uzbek as his deputy in India (501),
and himself set out for Persia, where he arrived in A. H.
621. He first entered Kirman, and there married the daughter
of Buraq Hajib. Thence he proceeded to Fars, and married
the daughter of the Atabek SaM. Thence he advanced
through Isfahan to Ray, where his brother Ghiyathu'd-Din
was ruler. Thence to Baghdad, where he defeated the Arabs.
He next seized Adharbayjan, and married Malika Khatun,
daughter of the Seljuq Tughril, who had been divorced by

the Atabek Uzbeg. Jalalu'd-Din, next subdued Georgia. He
returned from Tiflis to Kirman in seventeen days, but was
met on approach by its ruler Buraq Hajib, who persuaded

his
him to retire '). Meanwhile al-Malik al-Ashraf abducted Malika

Khatun from the Castle of Khuy, while the Georgians revolted.
Jalalu'd-Din thereupon marched to Akhlat to punish al-Malik
al-Ashraf, but ere it surrendered news came that the Indian
army had attacked "Îraq. Jalalu'd-Din now completed the
subjugation reduced Akhlat, and took prisoner

of Georgia,

Syria and Asia Minor to punish al-Malik al-Ashraf and "Ala'u

was repulsed. Shortly afterwards, however he renewed his
campaign, and devastated their territories. Verses composed by

Section 8. — The Atdbeks.
Of these there were two separate dynasties, one in Syria

and Diyar Bakr, the other in Fars. The former comprised
nine rulers, who reigned from A. H. 481 until A. H. 658, for
177 years; the latter, known as the Salghurfs, comprised

eleven rulers, who reigned 120 years, from A. H. 543 until
A. H. 663.

pacified Shabankara. In A, H. 613 he prepared to attack
'Îraq, but was taken prisoner by the troops of Muhammad
Khwarazmshah, and had to purchase his liberty by making

over to the conqueror two-thirds of the revenues of Fars.
On his return, his son Abu Bakr refused to let him enter
Shfraz, and in the fight which ensued he was wounded in
the eye by an arrow. (507) But the people of the city

brought him in secretly by night, and he cast his son Abu
Bakr into prison. When Sultan Jalalu'd-Dln Khwarazmshah
passed through Fars on his return from India, he interceded
for, and obtained the release of Abu Bakr. Sa^d died in
A. H. 628 after a reign of 28 years.
He was succeeded by his son (6) Abu Bakr b. SaM b.
Zangf, who proved a wise, just and magnanimous sovereign,

and a generous patron of learned and pious men. His chief
noble was Muqarrabu'd-Dfn Abu'l-Mafakhir Masûd. Abu
Bakr added to his dominions Kfsh, Bahrayn, Qatff and Lahsa

He died in A. H. 658 after a reign of 30 years.

He was succeeded by his son (7) Sa^d II, who died twelve
days after his father, and was in turn succeeded by his -son
(8) Muhammad, who was but a child, and whose nominal

reign (for the actual conduct of affairs was in the hands of
his mother Turkan Khatun) lasted only two years and seven
months, for he died in the last month of A. H. 660.
He was succeeded by (9) Muhammad Shah b. Salghur-
shah b. SaM b. Zangf, who reigned only 8 months, when
he was overthrown and put to death by Turkan Khatun on

Ramadan 10, A. H. 661.

brother, ''Ala'u'd-Dawla, sought help from Hulagii Khan (509),
against whose troops Shlraz was gallantly defended by Mu-

qarrabu'd-Din Mas'ud. Seljuqshah was finally killed by the
Mongols in Safar, A. H. 663.
He was succeeded by (11) Abish Khatun, daughter of
SaM II. She reigned for a year over Fars, after which she
was given in marriage to Mangu Tfmur the son of Hulagu
Khan, and Fars passed directly under the control of the
Mongols, though Abish continued to be the nominal ruler for
nearly 20 years.

This section is divided into two Discourses, the first treating

of the Isma'îlfs of Egypt, Syria and the Maghrib, the second
of the Assassins or Isma'îlls of Alamiit.
First Discourse, The IsmaHlis of Egypt etc. [Fdtimids).
These, fourteen innumber, reigned from A. H. 296 until

A.H. 556, i.e. for 260 years, and are mentioned here because
of their connection with the Persian Isma'îlfs commonly known
as the Assassms.

(510) According to the author of the TaWikh-i-Jahdn-

Gushd, the Sunnis assert that he was descended from "Âb-
du'llah b. Salim of Basra, while the people of *Îraq trace
his descent from 'Âbdu'llah b. Maymiin al-Qaddah, who was
one of the propagandists of the Imam Isma'^fl b. Ja'^far as-
Sadiq. On the other hand Abu Talib 'All b. Najib ') al-Bagh-
dadf in his 'Ûyiinii t-Tawdrikh asserts that al-Mahdi was
directly descended from the Imam Isma'^fl as follows: [Abu]

hi Ismaîl, etc., which pedigree would make him the twelfth
of the Isma'îli Imams and the tenth in direct descent from
'Âli b. Abi Talib. This Muhammad, who was the great-great-
grandfather of the Mahdi, fled to Ray to escape the perse-
cution of the 'Âbbasid Caliphs, and is buried near there in
Muhammad-abad. His descendants settled at Qandahar, where
the family is well known. The Mahdi declared himself in
A. H. 296, and in A. H. 302 overcame the Banu Aghlab (who
then ruled in North Africa on behalf of the "Âbbasid Caliph
al-Muqtadir), and possessed himself of their domains. Herein,

say the Isma'îlis, was fulfilled the Prophet's saying, "At the
beginning of 300 years [i.e.

of th€ fourth century of the Flight]
the Sun shall arise from Setting-place" [Mag-krid]. Al-Mahdi

reigned 26 years, and died in A. H. 322 at the age of 62 years.

He was 5 years younger than the Imam Mahdi recognized
by the rival sect of the Shfa, the Ithnd "âshariyya or "Sect
of the Twelve".
(2) Al-Qd'im bi-amri' lldh.
Al-Mahdi was succeeded by his son Ahmad ') al-Qa'im,

who was defeated by the Sunnis under Abu Yazid and
imprisoned at al-Mahdiyya (in Tunisia). (511) He died in
Shawwal, A. H. 334, but his death was concealed until his
son could succeed him. He reigned twelve years.
(3) Al-Mansur bi-Quwwati lldh.
Ismaîl b. al-Qa'im succeeded his father, defeated and

killed Abu Yazid, reigned 7 years, and died at Mahdiyya

hammad, which is probably correct.
(4) Al-MuHzz li-Dlnt'lldh Abu Tamim Mdâdd b. Mansiir.
He succeeded his father, ruled wisely and well, and added

Egypt to the Fatimid domains, taking it by stratagem from
the governor Kafur. In A. H. 362 he began to
"Âbbasid
build Cairo, which he made his capital. He also took the
Hijaz, and, after a reign of 24 years, died in A. H. 365.
(5) Al-^'Aziz billdh Abu Mansur b. al-Mu'izz.
He succeeded his father and added Syria to his domains,
after killing Alptigin, the *Âbbasid governor. He made a
Jew governor of Syria, and a Christian governor of Egypt,

but later dismissed them in response to the complaints of
his Muslim subjects. (512) He reigned 21 years and died in
A. H. 386 [MS. 380].

He succeeded and made a great show of piety and

native place, in A. H. 464, whenceA. H. 471 he proceeds
in
to Syria, and carries on the propaganda for Nizar b. Mus-

tansir. There he remained several years, during which period
he is alleged to have been entrusted by Nizar with the
care of one of his sons, whom
he brought back with him
to Persia. Fearing the vengeance of the Nizamu'1-Mulk, he
remained in hiding in Isfahan, in the house of the Ra'is

Abu'1-Fazl Lunbani, to whom he said one day, "If I had two
congenial friends, I would destroy this empire". Abu'1-Fazl,
deeming him mad (518), began to give him medicines appro-

priate to that distemper. Hasan-i-Sabbah, perceiving this,
fled to Ray. He converted to his doctrine sundry warders
of castles, such as Ra'is Muzafifar of Gird-Kuh, and Husayn
of Qa'in, governor of Turshiz. He then went to Qazwin, and
in,A. H. 483 (a number equivalent to the sum of the nume-
rical values of its component letters) captured the Castle of
Alamiit, which, being interpreted, means "the Eagle's Nest"
{Aluh-dmut), of which the governor was Mahdi-i-Âlawi. De-

(4) Hasan b. Muhammad b. Buzurg-umid.
On his death he again claimed to be the Imam,
father's
and professed to be the great-grandson of Nizar b. Mustansir.

Explanations of this claim, and pedigree advanced by Hasan.
He institutes the impious 'Îdul-Qiydm, or „ Festival of the
Resurrection", on Ramadan 17. A. H. 559, and abrogates all

outward observances of the Law (523). This Festival marks
the commencement of the new era adopted instead of the
hijra by the IsmaS'lis. Hasan is given the title of 'âla Dhi-

krihi' s-Saldm ("on his Mention be Peace"), and is called
"Lord" by his followers, but by the Muslims of Qazwfn
"Kiira Kiya". His heretical doctrines and antinomianism
cause discontent amongst some of his followers, and he is
finally killed by a scion of the House of Buwayh, who was

his brother-in-law, on the 6th of Rabf^ i, A. H. 561, after a
reign of 4 years.
(5) Muhammad b. Hasan 'âla Dhikrihi s-Saldm.
On accession (524) he put to death his father's mur-

his
derer and all his relatives, and carried on his father's here-
tical doctrines and practices. He died after a reign of 46
years on the loth of Rabf i, A. H. 607, poisoned, as some

assert, by his son and successor.
(6) Jaldlud-Din Hasan b. Muhammad.

repudiated the heresies of his father and grandfather,
enforced on his followers the observance of the Law of Islam,
and was recognized by the Caliph as a Muslim and called

availed himself of this permission to marry four ladies of
Gllan, one of whom, the daughter of the Amir of Kutam '), bore
him 'Ala'u'd-Dln, who afterwards succeeded him. Jalalu'd-Din
also made friends with Muzafifaru'd-Dln Uzbek, the Atabek
of Adharbayjan, and joined him in a campaign against Mun-
gulf the ruler of "Îraq, as a result of which Abhar and
Zanjan were added to his domains. When Chingfz Khan

invaded Persia, Jalalu'd-Dfn made his submission and received
promises of security. He died in the middle of Ramadan,

about fifty of the Assassins' strongholds, such as Alamut,

Muhammad, who was in the service of the Salghari Atabeks.
He died leaving a son named Abu Tahir, who, by his cou-
rage, rose high in Sunqur's service, subdued Luristan, and
became an independent sovereign. He died in A. H. 555 '),
leaving 5 sons, Hazarasp, Bahman, Îmadu'd-Din Pahlawan,
Nusratu'd-Din llwakiish, and Qizil. (539) Hazarasp succeeded
his father, and ruled well and justly, so that more tribes, such as
the 'Âqilis and Hashimis and some two dozen others, whose
names are enumerated, migrated into the country from Jabalu's-
Summaq and other places. These ultimately displace the Shuls,

who are driven into Fars, while Hazarasp extends his domain
to within four parasangs of Isfahan. His wars with the Atabek
Tikla. (540) The title of Atabek is conferred by the Caliph
an-Nasir on Hazarasp. On his death he is succee.ded by his
son Tikla, who is attacked by the Atabek SaM of Fars.
The Atabek's army, in spite of its size, is dispersed on the

death of their leader Jamalu'd-Din "Umar Lalba. Three sub-
sequent campaigns of the Salghuri Atabeks against Luristan

are equally unfortunate. Tikla b. Hazarasp annexes portions
of Lur-i-Kuchak. His country is invaded by the Caliph's
generals Baha'u'd-Din Garshasf and "Îmadu'd-Din Yunus, who

take captive his brother Qizil and confine him in the Castle
of Lahuj (or Lamuj). (541) Tikla kills ''Imadu'd-Din and takes
captive Baha'u'd-Din. In A. H. 655 Tikla joins Hiilagu Khan's
attack on Baghdad, but, disgusted at the atrocities committed
by the Mongols, withdraws to Luristan, whither he is pur-

sued by them. (542) He finally surrenders to Hulagu on
promise of amnesty, but is put to death at Tabriz. His body

is conveyed to Luristan by his followers and buried. He
was succeeded by Shamsu'd-Di'n Alp Arghun, who restored
the prosperity of the country, and ruled 15 years. He left

on account of his valour in the campaign against Gllan.
On the accession of Ahmad [Takudar] and his quarrel with

Arghun, Yusufshah marched with 2000 horse and 10,000
foot to the help of the former. On his defeat in Khurasan
these Lurs retreated through the desert of Tabas towards
Natanz, but many of them perished of thirst. Arghun sent
Yusufshah to seek out Shamsu'd-Din the Sdhib-Diwdn,
[who, on Ahmad's defeat, had fled to and Isfahan]
Qum
and bring him to his court, and Shamsu'd-Din gave him
his daughter in marriage. Later, when Shamsu'd-Dfn was
put to death, Yusufshah returned to Luristan, where he
shortly afterwards died (544) in A. H. 680 '), leaving two sons,
Afrasiyab and Ahmad, of whom the former succeeded to
the position of Atabek of Luristan. He ruled tyrannically,
fined and otherwise maltreated Nizamu'd-Dln, Jalalu'd-Dfn
and Sadru'd-Dfn, who had faithfully served his predecessors
as wazirs, and ruined their family, some members of which
took refuge at Isfahan. Death of Arghun. Baydii, the Mongol
governor of Isfahan, is killed by Qizil, Salgharshah and
others, who thereupon seized Isfahan in the name of Afra-
siyab. The Lurs extend, their domains and inflict a defeat

on the Mongols (545), who, however, returned to defeat and
destroy them. In this battle one Mongol women is said to
have killed ten Lurs. Afrasiyab was ultimately pardoned by
Arghiin's successor. Gay Khatii, and confirmed in the go-
vernment of Luristan, in which position, notwithstanding
his tyranny towards his subjects, including his relations (546),
he was confirmed by Ghazan Khan, who, however, after-

wards caused him to be put to death, and appointed his
brother Nusratu'd-Din Ahmad to succeed him. This prince
ruled well and wisely, sought to repair the mischief done

says the author, has been scrupulously observed since his
accession until the time of writing, a period of 35 years, so
that Luristan became "the envy of Paradise"
(547).
(2) Lur-i-Kuchuk (Lesser Lurs).

Account of the inhabitants of Luristan, both those who
were and those who were not originally Lurs, and enume-
ration of their tribes. Until A. H. 550 these had no prince
of their own, but were subject to the Caliph and his gover-
nors of Persian ''Iraq. At this date, Husamu'd-Dfn Suhili,
one of the Aq-sari Turks, a follower of the Seljuqs, was
governor of Luristan and part of Khuzistan. (548) Shuja'û'd-
Din Khurshid b. Abi Bakr b, Muhammad b. Khurshfd was
the firstindependent ruler of Lur-i-Kuchuk. He had two
sons, Badr and Haydar, of whom the latter was
killed during
the siege of Dizh-i-Siyah ("the Black Fortress"). The other,
Badr, and his cousin Sayfu'd-Din Rustam, made war on the

Turkish ruler of Bayat '),,
overcame him, and took his country.
Sayfu'd-Din treacherously compassed the death of Badr, who

left four Sons, Husamu'd-Din Khalil, Badru'd-Din Mas'ûd,
Sharafu'd-Din Tahamtan and Amir "Âli. Shuja'û'd-Din died
in A. H. 621 at the age of a hundred. His tomb was regarded
as holy by the Lurs on account of his justice. He was suc-
ceeded (550) by Sayfu'd-Din Rustam, who ruled justly and
suppressed highway robbery with a strong hand, but was finally
killed by "Âli, a son of the murdered Badr. (551) His brother,
Sharafu'd-Din Abu Bakr succeeded him, and he in turn
was succeeded by his brother "Îzzu'd-Din Garshasf, who was
speedily deposed (55^) by Husamu'd-Din Khali'I, and, a year
later, murdered by him. War ensues between Husamu'd-Din
and Shihabu'd-Din Sulaymanshah, the brother of 'Îzzu'd-

permitted to accompany Hulagii

after which he begged that Sulaymanshah might be surren-

given to Badru'd-Din Mas'ûd, who took them with him to

of returning to Baghdad. {554) Most of them remained in

himself to the restoration of Islam in Persia, the destruction
of the idol-temples, and the conversion of his heathen com-
patriots. (592) Several rebellious Mongol nobles are slain or

reduced to submission. Jamalu'd-Din Dastgardani is again made
wadr, but is put to death two months later. He is followed
by Sadru'd-Dfn Ahmad-i-Khalid{, who checks the evil prac-
tices which have grown up in connection with the demands

for horses, fodder and the like made by the innumerable
ileitis or king's messengers. (593) Ghazan Khan suspects the
Amir Nawruz of treasonable correspondence with the Sultan
of Egypt, and first kills his brothers and sons, and finally,
after a struggle in which he is assisted by Malik Fakhru'd-
Din Kart, captures Nawruz himself near Herat and puts him
to death at the end of A. H. 696 (= October, 1297). On the
2ith of Rajab, A. H. 697 {= May 4, A. D. 1298) he also put

third, in
utterly defeated. Ghazan was ill when this evil news arrived,
and his illness was aggravated by the rebellion of Prince
Alafrank, son of Gaykhatu, (595) and proved fatal on
the
Shawwal 10, A. H. 703 (= May 16, 1304). He died at Qazwfn,
after a reign of eight years, at the age of 30, and was buried
at Tabriz, being the first of the Mongol kings whose place
of burial was known to the public. In his reign was insti-

tuted the new era (still current in the author's time) known
as the Ta'rikh-i-Khdni, which took as its starting-point
Rajab 12, A. H. 701 (= March 13, 1302).

He was in Khurasan when the news of his brother's death

arrived. He was crowned at Tabriz on Dhu'l-Hijja 15, A. H.
703 (= July 19, 1304), being then 23 years of age. (He was
born on Dhu'l-Hijja 12, A. H. 680 =
March 24, 1282). His
reign was the most happy and prosperous of all the Mongol
sovereigns. He repressed unbelief, and imposed the jizya
(poll-tax) on Jews and Christians, besides compelling them to
wear di'stinctive garments. (596) Birth of his son Abu Sa'îd
on Wednesday, Dhu'1-QaMa 8, A. H. 704 (May 29, 1305). In

A. H. 705 Sayyid Taju'd-Din Gur-surkhi, the agent of Amfr
Hurqiidaq, was guilty of seditious actions, and was put
to death on Shawwal 20 (= May 5, 1306). In the same
year certain Mongol princes and the Amirs of

rebellious
Egypt and Syria submitted. In A. H. 706 Gflan was sub-

dued, and a tax imposed on its silk. In this war Amir
Qutlughshah was killed. Foundation of the cities of Sultan-
iyya (east of Tabriz), Sultanabad (near Mount Bisutiin), and

Uljaytu Sultanabad near Mughan, by the sea-shore. Death

— Nov., 1308). Submission of Shamsu'd-Din ^LC|-sunqur,
lord of Hama Jamalu'd-Din Afram, lord of Aleppo,
(597),
and other amirs of Syria in that year. In A. H. 710 differ-
ences arose between the ministers Rashfdu'd-Dfn and Sa^du'd-
Di'n, and, suspicion of a conspiracy being cast on the latter,

he was put to death on Shawwal 10, A. H. 711 (= Feb. 19,

312) at Baghxdad with Amfr Nasiru'd-Dfn Yahya, Khwaja
Zaynu'd-Dfn, Khwaja Shihabu'd-Dfn Mubarakshah, and others.
Verses by the author on this event. On Dhu'l-Hijja 3 of
the same year Sayyid Taju'd-Dfn Awjf, a prominent Shfîte,
was put to death, and Sayyid 'Imadu'd-Din Âla'u'1-Mulk

was blinded, and (598) Khwaja Taju'd-Dln of Tabrfz was
made wazir, on condition that he should obey Rashfdu'd-
Din, by whom the author was placed in charge of the dis-
trictcomprising Qazwfn, Abhar, Zanjan and Tarimayn. In
Shawwal, A. H. 712 (= February, 13 13) Uljaytu marchdd into
Syria, and reduced the fortress of Rahba. Some of the
Mongol princes invaded and ravaged Khurasan, and Uljaytu

sent the Amir Shaykh avenge this insult. He
''AH Qushji to
crossed the Oxus and ravaged Tirmidh and Transoxiana,

and Prince Abu Sa^'d was appointed governor of Khurasan,
with Amir Sunuj as his lieutenant. (599) In A, H. 715 (=
A. D. 13 1
5
— 6) a quarrel arose between the ministers Ra-
shfdu'd-Dfn and Taju'd-Din ''Alfshah, to whom Uljaytu gave
joint powers. In the following year (A.-H. 716), on Shawwal i
(= Dec. 17, 1
3 16), Uljaytu died at Sultaniyya, after a reign
of 12 years and 9 months, being then not quite forty years
of age. Verses by the author on his death. A curious (600)
ghost-story, attested by many persons, describing how the

spirit of a certain Qara-Bahadur, who fell in battle with the
heathen, spoke first to his family and afterwards to all the
people of his town (Yangi Shahr), first from a corner of his

house, and then from a stick set up in the market-place.
The spirit-voice is described as like a voice issuing from a
jar. (601) After three days it ceased entirely.
(14) Abu Saîd Bahadur Khan b, Uljaytu.
On receiving news of his father's death, Abu Sa'îd at once

left Khurasan, which was immediately seized by Prince
Yusur and Amfr Begtut. Abu Sa'^fd was crowned in Safar,
—
A. 11,717 (= April May, 1317), being then 12 years of age,
and Amfr Chuban at first acted as regent. Fines imposed
on Amfr Tuqmaq and Qutlughsh.ih Khatun. Amfr
(602)
Chuban sends an expedition against Prince Yusur and Amfr
i^g
Begtiit in Khurasan, and brings them to submission. Renewed

quarrels between the ministers Rashidu'd-Din and "AHshah.
As a result of intrigues the former was dismissed from his
post and sent to Tabriz in disgrace. (603) In the winter
Abu Sa'îd went to Baghdad, where, on Dhu'l-QaMa 20, A. H.
717 (= Jan. 24, 1
3 18) the Amir Suinuj died. In the spring
Abu Sa'îd returned to Sultaniyya, while Amir Chuban went
to hunt in Adharbayjan, taking Rashidu'd-Din with him, in
spite of his unwillingness to leave Tabriz. The partisans of

his rival "Âlishah succeeded in poisoning the minds of Sultan
Abii Saîd and the Amir Chuban against him, and finally
on the i8th of Jumada i, A. H, 718 (= July 18, 1318) he was
put to death, with his son "Îzzu'd-Dfn Ibrahim, near Abhar.

(604) Overthrow of Amir Zanbiir in Ramadan of this year,
on account of his opposition to Amir Chuban, who had made
himself very unpopular by his severities. War between Qur-
mishi and Chuban. (605) The latter is extricated from his
embarrassments by Taju'd-Din "Âlishah. Further mischief
wrought in Adharbayjan by the Amirs Iranchin and Qur-

mishi, both of whom belonged to the Karayit tribe of the
Mongols. Sultan Abu Sa"îd meets them in battle at Miyana

in Rabi^ ii,
—
A. H. 719 (== May June, 1319), and utterly routs
and destroys them. It was on account of the Sultan's courage
in this battle that he received (606) the title of Bahadur. On
Rajab 20, A. H. 719 (= Sept. 6, 13 19) Amir Chuban married
Sati Beg, the daughter of 'Uljaytu. Death of Amir Husayn
b. Aq-buqa in Muharram, A. H. 722 (= Jan. — Feb., 1322).
Amir Timur-tash, son of Amfr Chuban, governor of Rum
(Asia Minor), revolted, but was reduced to obedience by
his father, who put to death his evil counsellors, and brought
him to the Sultan, who shortly afterwards reinstated him.
Death of the minister Âlishah in Jumada ii, A. H. 724 (=
June, 1324) at 'Ujan. He was the only minister of the Mon-
gols who died a natural death, and was succeeded by his son
Amir Ghiyathu'd-Din Muhammad, who was soon, however,
displaced by Malik Nusratu'd-Din "Âdil, called Sa'in Wazir."
(607) A. H. 725 (= A. D. 1325) Amir Chiiban, passing

In
through Gurjistan, invaded the realms of Uzbek Khan, and

devastated them, to avenge the devastation wrought by him
when he came to Persia. Dismissal of Sa'in Wazir from the
position of Grand Wazir. Dimashq-Khwaja, son of Chuban,
succeeds him. Amfr Chuban sends his eldest son Hasan against
Zabul and Kabul to attack Tirma Shiri'n, whom he defeated.
He then ravaged those countries, and defaced the tomb of
Sultan Mahmud of Ghazna. To this impious act the author
ascribes the fall of the family of Chuban which shortly
ensued. (608) The
king, alarmed at the growing power of
this family, sought an occasion against them, and on Shaw-
wal 5, A. H. 727 (= Aug. 24, 1327) a rumour was put about

that Chuban had been put to death in Khurdsan, and an
attack was made on the house of his son Dimashq-Khwaja,
who was killed. Verses by Shamsu'd-Din of Sawa on this
subject. Chuban, on receiving this news, put to death Sa'in
Wazir the ex-minister in revenge at Herat, and marched on
'Îraq. The king hastened from Sultaniyya to meet him. W'hen
Chuban reached Ray and the king Qazwin, many of the

amirs who were with Chuban deserted him and joined the
King, whereupon he fled with his women, leaving the bulk
of his baggage. At each stage he left behind some of his
having crossed the desert, he reached

followers, so that finally,
Herat with only 17 followers, and there sought shelter from
Malik Ghiyathu'd-Di'n [Kart], who, in Muharram, A. H. 728
(= Nov. — Dec, 1327), treacherously slew him, together with
his son Jalaw Khan and several of his principal followers.
But Ghiyathu'd-Din [Kart] did not profit by his treachery, for
shortly afterwards both he and his son Hafiz died. Tfmiir-
Tash, another of Chuban's sons, fled to the Sultan of
Egypt, who, fearing his popularity, put him to death in

151
Shawwal, A. H. 728 (= August, 1328), and sent his head to

Sultan Abii Sa'îd. (610) Chuban's son Hasan and his son
fled Khwarazm, where they were honoured by king
to
Uzbek, but soon afterwards Hasan was killed in battle, and

his son died a natural death. Shaykh Mahmud, another of
Chuban's sons, who was governor of Gurjistan, was taken
prisoner by Abu Sa'îd's troops and put to death at Tabriz,
and in short the family of Chuban was practically exter-
minated. Thereupon Ghiyathu'd-Din Muhammad, son of the
talented but unfortunate Rashfdu'd-Din Fadlu'llah, the author's
master and patron, was made prime minister, jointly with
Khwaja 'Âla'û'd-Din Muhammad b. "Îmadu'd-Din, but six
months laterthe power was vested in him, (611) while
all
his ex-coadjutor was placed in charge of the finances of the
Empire and appointed wazir to the governor of Khurasan.

the House of Muzaffar, from the time of its rise to power
until its destruction by Tfmur-i-Lang (Tamerlane). (615) The
author, who composed this treatise in A. H. 823 (A. D. 1420),
describes his qualifications for this task, and asks the indul-

(i) Amir Mubdrizu^ d-Din Muhammad.

He was the son of al-Muzaffar, son of al-Mansiir, son of al-
Hajj Amir Ghiyathu'd-Dfn, who was from Khwaf in Khurasan.

His ancestors had come thither from Arabia in the time of
the Muhammadan
Conquest, and six centuries later, in the
time of the Mongol Invasion, they retreated southwards to
Yazd. The Hajji had three sons, Abu Bakr, Muhammad and
Mansur. The two former were attached to the service of the
Atabek *Âla'u'd-Dawla ')
of Yazd. When Hulagu Khan marched
against Baghdad, the Atabek sent Abu Bakr b. al-Hajji with

300 horsemen to assist him. After the capture of Baghdad,
this Abu Bakr was sent with an army to the Egyptian fron-
tier, and was killed in battle by the Arabs of Khafaja. His

brother Muhammad succeeded him as lieutenant to the
Atabek of Yazd, until he also died, leaving no issue.

Maybud near Yazd, and assisted his father during his life-

virtuous and talented. (617) He dreamed that the sun arose

from the house of the Atabek 'Âla'u'd-Dawla and entered the
collar of his robe. When he rose up, the sun broke into
several pieces and fell from his skirt. He enquired the inter-
pretation of this dream, and was informed that it portended
the passing of the power from the present Atabeks to his
family, where it would remain for as many years as the

number of the pieces into which the sun had broken. He
was entrusted shortly afterwards by the Atabek Yiisuf-Shah
b. "Âla'u'd-Dawla with the government of the Maybud district,
and succeeded in clearing the mountains there of a band of

brigands from Shiraz who had taken up these abode there.
Yusuf-shah, having killed the ambassadors of Arghun, was
obliged to flee from Yazd towards Sistan. Muzaffar accom-

panied him, but, an attempt having been made on his life,
he left them, and came in A. H. 685 (= A. D. 1286) to Kirman,
where he was well received by Sultan Jalalu'd-Din Siirghit-
mish Qara-Khitay (618). After a while he returned Yazd, to
and soon afterwards was presented to Arghun, who employed

him in his service. Gay-Khatu shewed him even greater
favours. The Atabek Afrasiyab b. Yusufshah revolted in
Luristan, and Gay-Khatu sent against him an army com-

manded by Muzaffar, who, thanks to his influence and local
knowledge, succeeded in pacifying the Atabek Afrasiyab and

bringing him back to his allegiance. After the death of Gay-
Khatu, in RabfA. H. 694 (=
i, Jan.— Feb. A. D. 1295), Mu-
zaffar repaired to Ghazan's camp, received all the insignia of
authority, and was appointed Amir-Hazdra, or chief of a thou-

sand men. (619) In the middle of Jumada ii, A. H. 700 (= end
of February, A. D. 1301) the Amfr Mubarizu'd-Din Muham-
mad was born. On the death of Ghazan and accession of
Uljaytu in A. H. 703 (= A. D. 1303 — Muzaffar was assigned,

roads from Ardistan to Kirmanshah and from Herat and
Merv ')

accompanied the Sultan on his
also
campaign against Gilan. At this time the wazir Rashi'du'd-Din

had a grudge against Muzaffar, but his deputy, Sayyid Jalalu'd-
Din Kashi, succeeded in effecting a reconciliation. In A. H.
—
707 (= A. D. 1307 8) Muzaffar was sent to Yazd and Shfraz,
accompanied by his son Mubarizu'd-Din Muhammad. In
A. H. 71 1 (•= A. D. 131 1 —
12) when Uljaytu marched to Bagh-
dad, Muzaffar met him at Khaniqin. A little later he was
charged with the duty of subduing the rebellious Shaban-

kara. (620) Shortly after this he fell ill, and, though he
months, he had a relapse (caused, as was

rallied after three
supposed by poison administered by his enemies) and died

on Dhu'1-QaMa 13, A. H. 713 (== March i, 13 14). His body was
conveyed to Maybud and buried in a college which he had
erected and endowed. He left one son (Mubarizu'd-Din Mu-
hammad) and three daughters ^). His younger daughter was

married to his nephew Badru'd-Dfn Abu Bakr, to whom she
bore Shah Sultan. One of his daughters was the mother of
Sultan Ahmad's wife, while the other was the mother of

shah b. Mahmud b. Kamal.

a
descendant of Khwaja ""Abdu'llah Ansarf, whose family had
for years ruled the southern coast of Persia, came to Yazd
at this juncture, and, propitiated by the gift of a horse,

made great friends with Mubarizu'd-Din. The Atabek Hajji
Shah, the Atabeks of Yazd, had a quarrel with
last of the
the lieutenant of Amir Kaykhusraw and killed him. There-
upon Sultan Abii Sa'î'd ordered (623) Mubarizu'd-Din and Kay-

Khusraw to attack Hajji Shah, who, after a great battle, was
completely crushed. In Shawwal, A. H. 718 (= Dec, 13 18) Mu-
barizu'd-Dfn visited the court and was confirmed in his govern-
ments. Soon afterwards the Slstanis, known as Nikudarls, led by
a certain Nawruz, revolted. Mubarizu'd-Din, then only 18 years
of age, attacked them with only 60 horsemen. A fierce conflict
ensued (624), in which Mubarizu'd-Din was victorious, and

pursued the Nikudaris as far as Bafq, killing many of them,
including Nawruz. The captives and heads of the slain were

sent to the Sultan's court, and there was wailing and lamen-
tation every household of the Nikudaris, who, however,
in
long continued the struggle, so that it required 13 or 14

years fighting and some 21 battles to reduce them finally
to submission.
Birth of Shah Muzaffar.
Shah Sharafu'd-Di'n Muzaffar was born in A. H. 725

and his bride followed him to Yazd, and he met her at
Abarquh. Khwaja Baha'u'd-Dfn b. "Îzzu'd-Din was at this

Death of Sultan Abu Saîd.
On the death of Abii Sa'îd in A. H. 736 (= 1335

ensued (627), and pretenders to the throne arose on all sides.
The wazir, Ghiyathu'd-Dfn Muhammad b. Rashfdu'd-Dfn

Thence he went to Kirman, where he raised an army and
returned to Yazd, which he endeavoured, but failed, to
capture by stratagem. (629) At the intercession of Shaykh

Mubarizu'd-Dfn's devout was interrupted by a sum-

mons to join Amfr Pfr Husayn, who was marching on Shiraz.

After some hesitation he consented, and the two met at
Istakhr. On hearing this, Amir MasMd Shah b. Mahmud Shah
[Inju], the governor
of Shiraz, escaped to Kazarun, whither
he was pursued by Mubarizu'd-Din. (630), who, having put
him to flight, returned to lay siege to Shiraz. After a fierce
sortie, the defenders were reduced to great straits, and
finally capitulated toHusayn, who conferred on

Amfr Pfr
Mubarizu'd-Dfn the government of Kirman. Thither he pro-

ceeded in the same year (A. H. 740), and took possession of
that city without encountering any resistance from its ruler,
Malik Qutbu'd-Dfn b. Nasiru'd-Dfn Muhammad b. Burhan,

who with his father, had ruled there for 35 years. (631)
Mubarizu'd-Dfn disbanded his army and sent for Shah Shuja%
who arrived a few days later.

The army of Khurdsdn marches on Kirmdn.
On the loss of Kirman, Malik Qutbu'd-Din set out for

Khurasan, and asked for help from the king of Herat, who
lent him an army of Ghurfs under the command of Malik
Da'ud. This army advanced to within four parasangs of
Kirman before Mubarizu'd-Din was informed of its approach.
He thereupon withdrew to Anar on the road to Yazd, and
sent news to Amfr.Pfr Husayn. Having collected an army,
he marched back to Kirman to attack the invaders, while
Shah Muzaffar and Shah Sultan aided him to the utmost
of their power (632) The Khurasanis were driven back into

the city, while Mubarizu'd-Dfn alighted in the Mazdakan (?)
quarter, subdued all the suburbs, and shortly afterwards

routed the Khurasanfs. Malik Qutbu'd-Dfn again sought help
from Herat. Meanwhile Amfr Pfr Husayn arrived from Shfraz
to help Mubarizu'd-Din, and the defenders of the city were
hard pressed. Many notable men amongst them, such as
Khwaja Taju'd-Din Îraqf, came out and made their submis-
sion.In Jumada ii, A. H. 741 (= Nov. — Dec. 1340) the city

capitulated, Malik Da'iid retired to Khurasan, and Mubarizu
'd-Dln took possession of ~Kirman. In the same year was
born Sultan "Îmadu'd-Dfn Ahmad.
(633) Conquest of Bam.
The strong fortress of Bam was held by Akhi Shujaû'd-

Dfn, who had been appointed its governor in the life-time
of Sultan Abu Sa'îd, and who had already on several occa-
sions fought andworsted the governors of Kirman. Muba-
rizu'd-Dfn, anxious to put a stop to his ambitions, despat-
ched against him Qutlugh-shah, and followed in person. A
prolonged siege ensued, but the city was (634) finally cap-
tured, after a siege of three or four years. Akhf Shuja'û'd-
Dfn was spared at the time, but was afterwards killed.

War with the Arabs.
Certain Arabs in Herat, Merv '), Sahn-i-Rudhan, Rafsinjan

and Shahr-i-Babak betook themselves to robbery, and Muba-
rizu'd-Din with his son Shah Muzaffar and his wazir Ruknu'd-
Din Mahmud b. Rashi'd set out to attack them, and inflicted on
them a severe defeat. (635) Birth of Shah Yahya on Sunday,

recent victory over the Arabs.
Ministry of Khwdja Burhdnu'd-Din.

This minister, who was the son of Kamalu'd-Din Abu'l-
Ma'âli, claimed descent from the Caliph "Ûthman. His father,

after visiting the two Sacred Cities, came to Yazd, and there
founded many mosques, hospitals and colleges. He died in
A. H. 738 (= A. D. 1337 — 8). His son Burhanu'd-Din then

went to Shiraz, and in A. H. 742 (= A. D. 1341 — 2) was chosen
ivazir by Mubarizu'd-Din. In A. H. 752 {= A. D. 135 1—2) he
retired, but when Fars was added to the MuzafTari domains
in A. H. 756 (= A. D. 1355) he received the double office of
Chief Judge and Grand Wazir.

Isfahan, but was deserted by the Qadi Shamsu'd-Dfn Sa'in

and Amfr Jalalu'd-Din Tayyibshah, the commander of the
Turkman army, who deserted to Malik Ashraf. Amir Muzaf-
faru'd-Din Salghar urged him to seek help from Mubarizu
'd-Dfn, but this his suspicions prevented him from* doing,
and he same night

set out that for Tabriz to seek help from
his cousin, Amfr Shaykh Hasan b. Timiirtash, who, however,
cast him into prison. Most of his captains, including Zahfru
'd-Di'n Ibrahim-i-Sawab, thereupon joined Mubarizu'd-Di'n,

who thus became possessed of an uncontested domain. (638)
In Muharram, A. H. 744 (=June, 1343) a battle took place
at Na'in between Malik Ashraf and Shah Muzaffar and
Shah Sultan. Malik Ashraf was defeated and retired to
Sultaniyya and Tabriz, where he collected a great army to

invade Fars. He plundered and massacred, and in the valley
Bawwan, so celebrated for its natural beauties, he
of Shi'^b
smoked to death some 2000 people who had taken refuge
in a cave. (639) Malik Ashraf is recalled to Tabriz. The
strong fortress of Sfrjan capitulates, and agrees to pay a
yearly tribute of 100,000 dindrs. Khwaja Taju'd-Din 'Îraqf
saves himself from death at the hands of Mubarizu'd-Din by
a verse of poetry (640).
Amir Shaykh Abu Ishdq goes to Kirmdn.
On Amfr Shaykh's
the departure of Malik Ashraf from Fars,
power greatly increased, and he assumed the title of king

and struck coins and caused the khutba to be read in his
—
name. In Safar, A. H. 748 (—May June, 1347) he marched
on Kirman, attacking Sfrjan on the way, and destroying the
town with some 1200 of the inhabitants, but leaving the citadel
unreduced. On
reaching Bahramjird, some 15 parasangs from
Kirmdn, he ascertained that Mubarizu'd-Dfn was awaiting him
with a large army, whereupon he retired to Shfraz.
(641) On
his arrival there he made Amfr Zahfru'd-Dfn Ibrahfm-i-Sawab

his wazir, and when he was assassinated shortly afterwards

he appointed Sayyid Ghiyathu'd-Din 'Âh' and Shamsu'd-Din
Sa'in jointly to this post. The latter was soon conipelled by

the jealousy of the former to retire.He went to Hurmuz
and the coast of the Persian Gulf, collected a large following,
raidedmany towns, and finally determined to attack Kir-
man, but was defeated and slain by Mubarizu'd-Din. (642)
On hearing this news, Amir Shaykh Abu Ishaq marched on
Kirman to take vengeance on Mubarizu'd-Din, but was
defeated in a great battle and retired on Shiraz by way
of Taft.
Account of the Hazdra.
Mubarizu'd-Din, finding the Afghans settled in the SE.

of Persia disobedient and disloyal, distinguished the loyal
Jurma'is with a special badge, and ordered the Afghans to

be extirpated. (643) Amir Dawlatshah, the chief of the latter,
was put to death with seven other amirs.
Defeat of Mtibdrizti' d-Din by the Afghans ').
Soon after Mubarizu'd-Din had returned to Kirman, he

heard (644) that the Afghans and Jurma'is had united and
were plundering the country. Thereupon he marched against
them, and the two forces met in the plain of Khawun (?) The
Afghans were at first defeated, but returned while Mubarizu
'd-Din's troops were engaged in plundering, and made a
fresh attack, in which Mubarizu'd-Din sustained seven wounds
and nearly lost his life. Idolatrous rites and sacrifices of
Afghans, taken from the Mongols, enabled Mubarizu'd-Din

to obtain from the doctors of Islam a declaration that this
was a holy war and he a Ghdzi or champion of the faith.

He returned safely to Kirman, where Shah Shuja*^ and the

wazir Burhanu'd-Din were awaiting him.
(645) Faithlessness of Amir Shaykh Abu Ishdq.
Mubarizu'd-Din and Amir Shaykh Abu Ishaq had made

a treaty, one of the objects of which was to prevent the
Afghans from making their way to Shfraz. When, however,

the former sent
Khwaja Hajji Daylam there, the
Afghans
had already been received with honour. Abu Ishaq, feeling
ashamed, detained them, and sent 5000 men to help Mu-
barizu'd-Din, but they had secret instructions to desert to
the enemy in the middle of the battle. This treachery be-
came known and thereupon Abu Ishaq"

to Mubarizu'd-Din,
openly broke with him, and sent 2000 men under Amir
Sultanshah Jandar to help the Afghans, while he himself set
out for Yazd, which he entered without fighting. Shah Mu-
zaffar being at Kirman. On hearing this. Shah Muzafifar at
once marched to Maybud near Yazd, where his sons then

were. He
proceeded to garrison and fortify the place. Abu
Ishaq at once sent troops against him (646) under Muham-
madi and Zawara-i-Isfahani, but Shah Muzafifar routed them
and took 70 of their chief men prisoners. Thereupon Abu
Ishaq sent some 20,000 men againstMaybud, but these also
failed to capture the fortress, and peace was concluded.
Events in Kirman.
Meanwhile Amir Sultanshah Jandar with his Afghans ad-

vanced on Kirman, but Mubarizu'd-Din kept them at a
distance of four parasangs from the city. When Abu Ishaq
returned from Maybud he sent Sayyid Sadru'd-Din to Kir-
man to negotiate, Mubarizu'd-Dfn complained of (647) Abu
Ishaq's faithlessness, but promised, out of compassion for
the people, to abandon the war and make no attempt at
retaliation. So peace was concluded, and Sultanshah returned

to Shiraz.
Account of the Afgjidns and yurmcCis.
Finding no party willing to support them, the Afghans

submitted, and in one day received 1000 robes of honour,
while some of their amirs attached themselves to the Court
at Kirman. At this juncture Muhammad Beg, son-in-law of
Malik Ashraf, marched against *Îraq, and asked help from
Mubarizu'd-Din, who set but to follow them when they had
nearly reached Isfahan, accompanied by some of the Afghans.
Treacherous intentions becoming apparent on their part,
Mubarizu'd-Din slew a great number of those who had accom-
panied him, and of those who were at Kirman. Amir Timur,

one of the bravest captains of Abu Ishaq, was also put to
death on suspicion of treachery (648).
Campaign in the Garm-sir.
Winter being now near at hand, Mubarizu'd-Din and his
son Shah Shuja^ who was then 16 years of age, set out for
Jiraft. On arriving there, they found the Afghans holding

the Qara-i-Sulaymani. Abu Ishaq again violated his promise
and allowed the Afghans at Shiraz to march thither with
Amir Sultanshah Jandar, to collect the taxes from Mukran,
Hurmuz, etc. On arriving near Mubarizu'd-Din's camp a
message reached them from Abu Ishaq that he was sending

six regiments to reinforce them, and that they should pro-
ceed to Kitman. Amir Sultanshah communicated this letter
to Mubarizu'd-Din. (649) This was the seventh time that
Abu Ishaq had violated his promises. Desultory fighting and
raiding went on until the spring came and the weather grew
hot, when Mubarizu'd-Din returned to Kirman, whither he
was followed by Sultanshah, on whom he conferred many
favours. As summer advanced they withdrew into the cooler
region. Then the Mongol ')

officers came and made their sub-
mission, and returned to Kirman. The Nawruzis, another

tribe of Mongols '),
had always been loyal and peaceable,
and so secured A. H. 752 (= A. D. 135 1 2)
their safety. In —
(650) a mosque was built outside the Zarand gate of the
old city of Kirman, and Mawlana *Âfifu'd-Din, son of Mu-
hammad-i-Ya'^qub, was invited to come from Yazd and open

it. Other buildings were erected with money derived from
Mubarizu'd-Din's estates at Maybud, and in A. H. 755 (=

of this chronicle, was appointed professor in one of these
colleges named the Ddru's-Siyddat.

Abii Ishdq again marches on Yazd.
In A. H. 751 (=A, D. 1350 — 1) Abu Ishaq, with a great
army, laid siege to Yazd, whither Shah Muzafifar brought

his sons from Maybud. (651) A battle takes place, in which
several of Abu Ishaq's officers are killed. A siege follows,
but finally Abii Ishaq has to retire to Shi'raz. Grievous
famine ensues in Yazd, and many die.
Conquest of Amir Beg Jakdz.
When Amfr Beg Jakaz deserted the cause of Malik Ashraf, he

came to Abu Ishaq and was made commander of his army.
After the retreat of Abu Ishaq from Yazd, he was sent with

against Kirman. Mubarizu'd-Dfn, on hearing this, made a

treaty for mutual defence with the Afghans and Jurma'is
(652), for each side had lost some 800 men in the recent
wars, and so reconciliation was possible without dishonour.
He also summoned Shah Shuja*^ from Kirman and Shah
Muzafifarfrom Yazd, and they foregathered at Rafsinjan.
Mubarizu'd-Din and Amfr Beg Jakaz met at Panj Angusht
in Jumada i, A. H. 753 (= June —
July, 1352), and, after a fierce
battle, Amfr Beg's force was utterly routed and retired to
Shiraz, while rich spoils fell into the hands of the victors,
including a harp encrusted with jewels belonging to the Amir

Kayqubad, the price of which enabled Mubarizu'd-Din to
equip and train 70 horsemen.
(653) Conquest of Shird-z by Mubdrizu' d-Din.
Mubarizu^d-Din now decided to march on Shiraz, and first
moved to Bam, where he received from Murtada A^zam

Shamsu'd-Din Âli of Bam a sacred relic to which his future
good fortune is ascribed, namely a hair of the Prophet,

which was afterwards deposited in the DdriCs-Siyddat of
Kirman. (654) Mubarizu'd-Din then proceeded to Riqan, where
he nominated Jalalu'd-Din Shah Shuja'^ his successor. Abu
Ishaq, hearing of the approaching attack, consulted the nobles
and 'ulamd. One of the latter, "Âdudu'd-Din Âbdu'r- Rahman
al-'Iji advised him to make peace, and, his advice being accep-
ted, he set out to seek Mubarizu'd-Din. At Sirjan he met Shah
Muzafifar, who was coming from Yazd, and they proceeded toge-
ther, coming up with Mubarizu'd-Din in the plain of Arzuya(?)
and Dasht-bard. Mubarizu'd-Din received al-'Iji very graci-
ously and assigned him an allowance of 50,000 dindrs and
10,000 for his attendants. He also read Ibn Hajib's Commentary
on the Mufassal with Shah Shuja^ He also tried to dissuade
Mubarizu'd-Din from continuing his march on Shiraz, but the
latter declined, on the ground that Amir Shaykh Abu Ishaq
had already violated his promises eight times, and proceeded

to Furg and Tarim, while al-ljf went by way of Nayriz to
Shabankara. (655) Mubarizu'd-Din reached Fars in Safar,
A. H. 754 (= March, 1353), and Abu
Ishaq advanced to meet
him with an army, but fell back next day on Shiraz, whither
he was followed by Mubarizu'd-Din.
Capture of the Castle of Sarband.
Majdu'd-Din of Sarband surrendered his castle, and was

confirmed in the Wardenship of it and of Khafrak, but soon
rebelled,whereupon Mubarizu'd-Din, accompanied by his
son Shah Shuj^S attacked and subdued it. Majdu'd-Dfn and
his elder son went to Shiraz, while his younger son and his
followers were captured and put to death. He then returned
to lay siege to Shiraz but fell ill for a time, while Shah Muzaffar
was also taken seriously ill, and (656), notwithstanding all that
the physicians could do, died in Jumada ii, A. H. 754 (= July,
1353) ^f^d was buried at Maybud in the Muzaffariyya Col-
lege. He was 28 years and a half in age when he died, and

left four sons. Shah Yahya, Shah Mansur, Shah Husayn and
Shah 'Âli, and two daughters.
Capture of the Red Castle (Qal'â-i-Surkh).
Shortly after this. Shah Shuja*^ set out to capture the Red
Castle situated 4 Parasangs from Shiraz, which was occupied
by some of Abu Ishaq's troops. It was reduced, and the

spoils were divided by Shah Shuja*^ amongst his troops.
Meanwhile Mubarizu'd-Din, in spite of his illness, continued
to prosecute the siege of Shiraz. On Friday, 6th of Rabi*^ i,
A. H. 754 (= April II, 1353) Hajji Qiwamu'd-Din Hasan, one

of the chief men of Fars (657), died, to the great grief of
Abii Ishaq ').
His son narrates to the author of this history

the month is given as Rabi' ii, not Rabi' i. See Rosenzweig-Schwannau's

how he went, on the third day after Qiwamu'd-Dfn's death,

to see Abu Ishaq, who lamented the time he had spent in
studying astrology, and the mistakes into which it had led

him, and recited verses on its futility. (658) Abii Ishaq
aroused the hostility of the Shirazis by putting to death
Sayyid Amir Hajji Darrab and Hajji Shamsu'd-Din. Finally

in the month of Ramadan [A. H. 754 =: October, 1353] Ra'fs
Ûmar, son of Âla'u'd-Din, caused the Murdistan gate to be

left open, and Mubarizu'd-Din and his troops entered the
town on Shawwal 3 (= Nov. i, 1353), and Abu Ishaq, with

some of his followers, fled to Shulistan, and thence to the
White Castle {Qat'a-i-Sapid), noted since Sasanian times for
its strength. He then demanded help from Amir Shaykh
Hasan, governor of Baghdad, who sent his son Amir Aq-
buqa by way of Shushtar to help him. (659) On hearing
that Shah Shuja*^ was advancing against them, however, Aq-
bijqa returned to Baghdad, while Abu Ishaq fled to Isfahan.
Mubarfzu'd-Din government of Kirman on
conferred the
Shah Shuja^ and handed over to him "Âli Sahl, the ten-
year-old son of Abu Ishaq, Amir Beg Jakaz, and Kulu
Fakhru'd-Din, The second was drowned in the Kirman river,
the last was put to death at Kirman, and the child was
murdered near Rafsinjan, though it was pretended that he
had died a natural death. His grave is now regarded as a
holy place, and a supernatural light is said to shine over it
at times. (660) ') Mubarizu'd-Din's good government of Fars,
encouragement of learning and repression of dissipation.

Quatrain on this composed by Shah Shuja^ In A. H. 755
(= A. D.I 3 54) Mubarizu'd-Din set out to conquer "Iraq,
accompanied by Shah Shuja*^ and the Afghan, Arab and
Jurma'i levies. Shah Shuja'^ left Kirman in the month of
Rabi^ i
(= April), but at Shahr-i-Babak he was deserted by
the Afghans and Jurma'is. After he had joined his father, news

reached them that Amfr Ay-Tftnur, commander of Abu Ishaq's

army, had gone to Shulistan, joined Amfr Ghiyathu'd-Din
Mansiir, governor of the Shiil, and intended to seize Shiraz.
Thereupon Shah Shuja*^ set out for Shulistan, but, finding

no trace of them th'ere, carried off all their cattle. The rebels
had gone to Kazariin, whence they doubled back on Shfraz

and effected an entry by the Kazariin gate. Shah Sultan,
Mubarizu'd-Din's governor of Shiraz (66l), was completely
taken by surprise, and fled to Shah Shuja*^. The invaders
set fire to the quarter of Murdistan, which was most loyal
to Mubarizu'd-Din. Shah Shuja*^ hastened back to the town,
which he entered by the Istakhr gate, and gallantly attacked
the rebels. Ay-Timur was killed by an arrow, and his forces
routed, and afterwards another force of Shiils and other

disaffected nomads was routed by Shah Shuja'' at the Ka-
zarun gate. {662) Complete security restored in Shiraz by

'Imadu'd-Din Mahmud and Amir Salgharshah, the nephew
of Amfr Shaykh Abii Ishaq, to overthrow the Muzaffari rule

to join them. They were promptly
attacked by Shah Shuja", who put them to flight. (663), and
then returned to Shiraz. At this time Majdu'd-Din surren-
dered the strong castle of Quhandiz [or FahandirJ to Shah
Sultan, and also Amfr Shaykh Abu Ishaq's treasures, which
were stored up there. He was pardoned by Shah Shuja*" for
his rebelHon, and these treasures were given to him.

numbers, refused to come out to fight him. In A. H. 75 5 (= A. D.
1354), having sworn allegiance to the ''Abbasid Caliph al-
Mu^tadid ') Bi'llah Abu Bakr, he restored the Caliph's name
in the khutba (from which it had been omitted ever since
the Mongol invasion) throughout "Îraq, exactly 100 years
after the sack of
Baghdad by the Mongols. Tradition cited
a propos of this. (664) Meanwhile Amir Shaykh Abu Ishaq
was trying by every means to recover his dominions. He
pardoned Sultanshah, whom he had held prisoner at Tabarak
for some time, and, relying on his loyalty, sent him to rally
the Afghans and Jurma'is ;

but Sultanshah made his way to
Luristan and thence to Shiraz, where he -joined Shah Shuja^

As winter drew on, the siege of Isfahan was raised, but in
the spring the task of subduing it was entrusted by Muba-
rizu'd-Din to Shah Shuja^ When the army had encamped
at the gates of Isfahan, Sayyid Jalalu'd-Din Mir-Miran, go-
vernor of that place, hid himself. (665) A few days later
news came that Abu Ishaq, with the Atabek Nuraward b.
Sulaymanshah b. Ahmad, had gathered an army in Luristan.
Shah Shuja'^ decided that he must first disperse this, and so
marched to Kandaman and thence to Firuzan. Mubarizu'd-
Din also came hither with lightning speed. Thereupon the

Atabek returned into Luristan, while Abu Ishaq went to
Shushtar, Shah Shuja'^ returned to lay siege to Isfahan, and
Mubarizu'd-Dfn encamped at Marwanan to bar the return
of the enemy. Soon afterwards Jalalu'd-Uin Mir-Miran made
his submission to Shah Shuja*^, who returned to Shiraz.

Conquest of Shabdnkdra.
Description of Shabankara, its strong fortress, its mills,

its gardens, and its general prosperity. (666) Its ruler was
at this time Malik Ardashi'r, who defied Mubarizu'd-Dfn,
and collected an army to resist him. Mubarizu'd-Din sent
his son Mahmud to deal with this rebellion. He subdued
the place, and Ardashfr fled.
Revolt and subjugation of the Hazdra-i-Shddi.
The Hazara-i-Shadl had been well treated by Mubarizu'd-

Din, who had given them lands in fief, but they forgot these
favours and rebelled towards the end of A. H. 756 (= Jan-
uary, 1355), in spite of the warnings of Amfr Mubarakshah
(667) whom they plundered and drove away to Shfraz.

Shah Shuja*^ marched against them, defeated them, and killed
their leader. Amir Buqa, and many others of their chief men.
Shdh Shujd'^ goes to Kirmdn to extirpate the Afghdns

These tribes were settled in this region in the time of

course of time
multiplied. Sultan Shah Jahan took a wife from amongst

them and of that union was born Qutlugh, called "the Mo-

quered Kirman in A. H. 742 (= A. D. 1341 2) he (668) greatly

time to time they rebelled, as has been mentioned. In A. H.

Shuja^ he showed them fresh favour, yet in A. H. 755 (= A. D.

revolted at Shahr-i-Babak. On hearing now that Shah Shuja*^
was advancing against them, they retired to the mountains,

Amir Surghatmish-i-Afghanf, and the mother of the princes
Sultan Uways, Sjultan Shibli, and Sultan Jahangir, and of Sultan
Padishah the wife of Shah Yahya, died. Two years earlier
he had married another wife (669), and the marriage was
consummated on Sha'^ban 12. Two robbers, Mahmud Timur and
an Arab of Shahr-i-Babak, were captured and put to death.
Shah Shuja^ again marches on Isfahan.

At the end of Sha'^ban, Shah Shuja'^ left Kirman. On the
2nd of Ramadan he reached Rafsinjan, and on Tuesday the
9th he reached Yazd, where he remained three days, and
then met his father Mubarizu'd-Din outside Na'in. A few
days later nevys arrived that Amir Shaykh Abu Ishaq had
collected an army of the Hazara-i-Shadf at Jarbadhaqan
(Gulpayagan), and Mubarizu'd-Din, leaving Shah Shuja"^ there

(670), set out to attack them, but they dispersed the day
before his arrival, leaving many of their stores and posses-
sions. Meanwhile Shah Shuja^ encamped at Fi'ruzan, one
stage from Isfahan, whence he moved near to the Bagh-i-
Karan, which adjoined the city wall. Several sorties were
made by the inhabitants, in one of which the Amir Kay-
Ka'iis valour, and many of the Isfahanis were

Conquest of Luristdn.
The Atabek Nur-award, whose ancestors had ruled Lu-

ristan for generations, was from the first inclined to dispute
Mubarizu'd-Din's supremacy, and he and his kinsman Kayu-

marth b. Takla wished to give their support to Amir Shaykh
Abu Ishaq. Mubarizu'd-Din was anxious, on account of family
connections, to avoid a conflict with them, but when {671)
1/2 SUPPLEMENTARY CHAPTER.
Nur-award allied himself with Abii Ishaq, placed all his
resources at his disposal, and marched on Isfahan, so that

no doubt remained as to his hostility, Mubarizu'd-Dfn was
very angry. He sent Nasiru'd-Din Khunji, Amir Kamalu'd-

Dfn Husayn Rashi'di, Khwaja Ruknu'd-Din 'Amidu'1-Mulk
and Khwaja Sadru'd-Din Anari to remonstrate with them,
but without effect. In the year A. H. 756 (=A. D. 1355)
when Mubarizu'd-Din encamped outside Isfahan, the Atabek
Nur-award sent the Qadi Qutbu'd-Din, the chief judge of
Luristan, as an ambassador to him. In Muharram, A. H. 757
(Jan. 1356) it was decided to invade Luristan. Shah Shuja'^
joined his father, and the expedition started, in spite of the

intensecold. When they reached Bahbahan, however, the
weather turned warmer. At this juncture news arrived that

Kayiimarth, Shaykh *^sa the Kurd, and other chiefs, were
advancing with an army of 10,000 horse and foot. Thereupon
Mubarizu'd-Dfn (672) prepared for battle, entrusting the right
wing to Shah Shuja'^ and the left wing to Shah Mahmud,

while he himself took command of the centre, in company with
hisgrandson Shah Yahya. In the battle which ensued Kayii-
marth was killed and his army defeated. Next day the sur-
vivors, including the Atabek Shamsu'd-Din Pashang b. Sal-
gharshah Ahmad b.

to make their submission, and were well received. On reaching
Idaj '),
the capital of Luristan, news arrived that Nur-award
had occupied the strong fortress of Susan. Shah Shuja^ set
out to attack him, whereupon he retreated to another fortress.
Mubarizu'd-Din, having practically subdued Luristan, con-

ferred the government of it on the Atabek Shamsu'd-Din

soon succeeded in capturing and deprived of his eye-sight.

Mubarizu'd-Di'n, returning homewards from Idaj, celebrated
his victory by a great hunt in the plain of Rakhshabad (673).
Conquest of Isfahan and capture of Shaykh Abii Ishag.

While the campaign in Luristan was in progress, Shah
Sultan was vigorously besieging Isfahan, whither Shaykh
Abu Ishaq had returned. Sayyid Jalalu'd-Din Mir-miran took
part in the defence, and the siege dragged on through the
hard winter until the spring, when many of the garrison

came out and joined Shah Sultan's forces, to the great dis-
couragement of Shaykh Abu Ishaq and his ally Jalalu'd-Din,
which was presently increased by the treacherous surrender
of the fortress of Tabarak to Shah Sultan by its warden.
(674) Seeing the

discouragement besieged, Sayyid of the
Jalalu'd-Din,abandoning his wife and family, escaped from

the city with one attendant and fled to Kashan. Shaykh
Abu Ishaq, unable to get out of the city, took refuge in
the house of Mawlana Nizamu'd-Din Asil, the Shaykhu'l-

Islam of "Îraq. Finally his whereabouts was discovered, and
he was brought to the Castle of Tabarak, news of his capture

being sent to Amir Mubarizu'd-Din, who ordered him to be
sent to Shfraz. In the mayddn of that city he was brought
before Mubarizu'd-Din, who was surrounded by all the 'ûlamd,
judges and nobles of Fars, and there he was put to death
by Ariiir Qutbu'd-Dfn, the youngest son of Sayyid Amir
Hajji Darrab, whom
he had formerly slain. (675) Two qua-

Rebellion of the Afghans and yurmdHs.

In the year A. H. 757, when Shah Shuja' set out for Shiraz
on his way to Luristan, he was accompanied by a number

of amirs and soldiers of the Afghans and Jurma'is. Amir
Âh' MaHk, who had hitherto been loyal, was appointed to
go to Riidbar. Soon after his arrival there he had a quarrel
with Taqtay as to a certain pasture, as a result of which
Taqtay was slain, and *Âli Malik obtained possession of an

undisputed territory. He took captive Amir "Îzzu'd-Di'n, chief
of the Jurma'is, but could not kill his brother Shamsu'd-
Dfn, who was in attendance on Shah Shuja^ He sent *Îzzu'd-
Din in chains to Kirman, but on the way thither he escaped,
unknown and took refuge with his tribe,
to his custodians,
where he gathered round him a number of men who bore
resentment against *Âli Malik, marched against him, and
killed him. When news of this reached Amir Mubarizu'd-Din,
he wished to march at once and take vengeance (676),
but, being engaged in a campaign against Adharbayjan, he
was compelled to postpone his intention for a year.
The Subjugation of Tabriz.
Muharram, A. H. 758 (January, 1357) Mubarizu'd-Din,

In
having overcome all his rivals and occupied Fars and "Îraq,
set out for Isfahan with a large army. Near that city he
was met by all the notables and chiefs, who escorted him
to the palace, where he received the homage of Shah Sultan,
who expected, but did not receive, much favour for his ser-
vice, for the Minister Khwaja Burhanu'd-Din had accused
him of embezzling a sum of 700 tiimdns from the revenues
of *Îraq. This caused a certain estrangement, in spite of
which Shah Sultan gave a great banquet, at which, however,
Mubarizu'd-Din, who was violent, passionate and ill-natured,
behaved with great rudeness. (677) This increased the en-
mity already existing between the uncle and nephew. At
this juncture an ambassador arrived from Janf Beg Khan b.
Uzbeg Khan with 300 horsemen, bringing the news that the
Khan had come to Tabriz, killed Malik Ashraf, and assumed
supreme authority; and that he now summoned Mubarizu'd-
Din to his presence to perform the duties of Yasdwul, or
Marshal, incumbent on him as formerly on his father. Mubarizu
'd-Din replied in harsh terms, and entrusted the entertain-
ment of the ambassadors to Shah Sultan, whose anger was
further increased by this new and unexpected burden. After
they had departed, news arrived that Jani Beg had fallen
sick and had returned to his own tribe [ulus], leaving Akhf
Jiiq in Tabriz. This news decided Mubarizu'd-Din to under-

take the conquest of Adharbayjan. Then news came by suc-
cessive messengers Jani Beg was dead, and had been
that
succeeded by his son Bardi Beg, who had thereupon put
his brothers to death. Mubarizu'd-Din forthwith began his
preparations, selected 12,000 men from the armies of Îraq

and Fars, and set out for Tabriz. Amir Akhi Jiiq, being
informed of this, came out from Tabriz to meet him with
30,000 horsemen. (678) The two armies met at Miyana.

Mubarizu'd-Din entrusted the right wing to Shah Shuja^ the
left to Shah Mahmud, and himself took command of the
centre, having Shah Yahya with him. He ordered his sol-
cfiers to fire three arrows each and then charge. Kamalu'd-
Din Lutfu'llah, son of Sadru'd-Din 'Îraqi, produced the sword
of Khalid b. Wali'd" "the Sword of God", and recited the
prayer engraved upon it three times, and one of the arrows

fired down the enemy's standard-bearer. Akhi Juq's
struck
right wing broke Mubarizu'd-Din's left wing and threatened

to encircle his centre, but Mubarizu'd-Din and Shah Yahya
fought with such valour that Amir Akhi Juq's army was
completely routed, and its leaders mostly slain or taken
captive, and Mubarizu'd-Din's sons pursued them to Nakh-

juwan, where they feasted for three days. (679) Muba-
was greatly incensed at this, reprimanded them,

rizu'd-Din
and honoured only Shah Yahya, who had remained with
him and had fought valour. On the Friday
with great
he himself ascended pulpit and
the deliveped a homily.
News arrived that an army was advancing on Tabriz from
Baghdad, and Mubarizu'd-Din decided to withdraw. On the
march he was continually threatening punishments to his
sons and others, and they, being alarmed, laid the matter
before Shah Sultan, who, having already a grudge against
Mubarizu'd-Din, incited them to seize their father, telling
them that he certainly intended to blind them and exclude
them from the succession in favour of his youngest and
favourite son, whose mother was Badi*û'l-Jamal. (680) They
therefore agreed together on reaching Isfahan to seize and
bind their father Mubarizu'd-Din. They arrived there on Tues-
day in the middle of Ramadan, A. H. 759

(= Aug. 21, 1358).
On the
following Thursday midnight Shah Sultan came
at
with one attendant to Shah Shuja"s house and announced

that he would flee, as it was said that Mubarizu'd-Din was
acquainted with the plot, and that if so he would certainly
kill all the conspirators. It was therefore agreed that before
sunrise next day they should put their plans into execution.
Shah Sultan then proceeded to Shah Mahmiid, who was in
the bath, and gave him the same information, whereupon
he at once mounted and came to the house of his father
Mubarizu'd-Din, who was busy reading the Qtir'dn. Shah

Mahmud waited outside porch, while Shah Shuja' and
in the
Shah Sultan stood at the door of the room in which Mu-

barizu'd-Di'n was, and sent five or six men in to seize him.
He, on seeing them, understood what was intended, and
sought for His sword, but it was not at hand. The conspi-
rators, therefore^ were able to seize and bind him. At the
same time Shdh Sultan went and killed Khwaja Burhanu'd-
Din. That night they conveyed Mubarizu'd-Din to the Castle
.177
of Tabarak and blinded him '). (681) Reflections of the author

on the vicissitudes of Fortune. Mubarizu'd-Dinis conveyed
from Tabarak to Qara-i-Isfid ("the White Castle") in Fars.

After a month or two he told the warden of the castle
that he had not wholly lost his sight, and persuaded him
(682) to befriend him. Finally, after much correspondence,

an understanding was arrived at between Mubarizu'd-Din
and his sons. The former was permitted to come to Shi'raz
and to have with him Badi'û'l-Jamal and his youngest son
Sultan Bayazid, together with his body-servants, while the
government was to be carried on in his name and with his
approval. When he had been for two or three months at
Shiraz, he made a plot with some of his adherents to
seize and kill Shah Shuja'^ when he came to see him. Shah
Shuja*^, being informed of this, ordered his accomplices to be
put to death, and himself to be transferred to the Castle of

Tabar in the Garmsfr, or hot region, of Fars. Then he
fell ill, and was removed
consequence to the Castle of in
Bam, where he died at the end of Rabi'^ i, A. H. 765 (= be-

ginning of January, 1364), at the age of 65, having reigned
40 years, 22 years in Yazd, 13 years in Kirman, and 5 years
over "Îraq and Fars.

and (685) Manujan. He defeats the Afghans and kills a great

but after a fierce fight, in which Shah Shuja*^ himself took
part, sue for peace. They did not, however, observe the

afterwards his brother Shah Mahmud rebelled against him,
attacked and took Yazd, placed Khwaja Baha'u'd-Din Qurji
there as governor, and himself marched to Isfahan.

[MS. "Fahandir"], but he succeeded, with the help of con-
federates, in seizing governor and taking possession
the
of the castle. Shah Shuja*^ sent an army to besiege him.
(687) Finally a truce was concluded, on condition that
Shah Yahya should evacuate the castle and retire to Yazd,
but, though treated with honour by Shah Shuja^ he conti-
nued at Yazd to intrigue against him. Verses of Shah Shuja''

on this subject. Shah Shuja*^ marches towards Yazd, and
sends Khwaja Qiwamu'd-Dfn Muhammad thither from Abar-
quh, where he himself remains. rumour is started that A

one Qiwamu'd-Din's intimates named "Âbdu'r-Rahman

of
Kunbani was intending to assassinate him, and Qiwamu'd-
Din, without investigating thematter, immediately caused
(688) 'Âbdu'r-Rahman to be put to death. Yazd was soon

reduced to great straits, and Shah Yahya was obHged to
submit to his uncle Shah Shuja^ who accepted his excuses.

and nephew. (689) Shah Shuja^ then returned to his capital,
ordering his army to raise the siege of Yazd. Soon after-
wards he set out for Qasr-i-Zard, because Shah Mahmud
threatened rebellion. The wazir [Qiwamu'd-Dfn] was accused
by his enviers of being disloyal, and was arrested, fined,

and ultimately put to death with torture in the middle of
Dhu'1-QaMa, A. H. 764. His place was taken by Khwaja
Kamalu'd-Din Rashidi.
The Conflict between Shah Shuja and Shah Mahmud.

Shah Shuja'^ now marched on Isfahan against his brother
Shah Mahmud, and besieged him there for one or two months.
Daily skirmishes took place, and one day Shah Mahmud
succeeded (690) decoying Shah Sultan and a number of
in
the besiegers into an ambush in the suburban lanes [kucha-
bdgh-hd), and in taking Shah Sultan captive and killing

his younger brother Amir Mubariz. Shah Sultan was blinded
by his foes, as he had formerly blinded the late king Mu-
barizu'd-Di'n. Quatrain by Sadru'd-Din *Îraqi on this subject.
After this defeat Shah Shuja"^ retired to Shiraz, and Shah

Mahmud began to seek support and alliance from Sultan
Uways at Tabriz. Simultaneously with MuS'nu'd-Din's second

mission to Isfahan, Amir Mubarak-shah Aynagh came from
Tabriz to Isfahan to endeavour to create trouble (691) and to
induce Shah Mahmud to revolt. Reinforcements arrived from
Tabriz led by Amir Shaykh "Âli Aynagh, Amir Sati Bahadur,
Mubarakshah Diili, and sundry Amirs, like Ghiyathu'd-Din

Shul, Salghur-shah Turkman, etc., and Shah Yahya as well as

Shah Mahmud joined them. The combined army marched out
of Isfahan in A. H. 765 (= A. D. 1363 4), and Shah Shuja*^
—
advanced to meet them from Shiraz, entrusting his right wing
to his youngest brother Sultan Ahmad, and his left wing to his
eldest son Sultan Uways. Sultan Ahmad, angered at not
being admitted to the Council of War held by Shah Shuja*^

and his amirs, deserted in the night to Shah Mahmud, and
many of the soldiers followed his example. Shah Shuja^
however, undeterred by these defections, gave battle near
Khwansar. (692) When night fell the battle was still unde-
cided. Shah Shuja*^ fell back on Shiraz, while the opposing
army scattered, many of the leaders retreating swiftly to
distant places, e.g. Sayyid Humamu'd-Din to Isfahan, the
son of Amir Shaykh "AllAynagh to Kashan, and Shah Yahya
to Yazd, while Shah Mahmud and Amir Shaykh 'AH reached
Isfahan by different routes, and decided to take no further
action until they should learn what had befallen the army
of Shah Shuja^ News reached them that Shah Shuja^ had
retreated to Shiraz. In passing by the Band-i-Am(r he had
confided the fortress there to one of his Amirs, who being
inexperienced and timorous, surrendered that strong place
to the enemy as soon as they summoned him to do so.
Shah Shuja^ meanwhile, having remained a few days in
Shiraz to re-equip his army, marched back to seek revenge,
but was attacked by a pain in the foot which compelled
him to return. Now there was a certain Dawlatshah who had
been the faithful servant of the unfortunate Qiwamu'd-Din,
and who had been imprisoned for a few days at the time
of his master's execution, but was afterwards released and
taken into favour (693). This man had been sent by Shah
Shuja" to Kirman to bring money to Shiraz for the payment
of the army. On reaching Si'rjan he met Sultan Shiblf and Amir
Surghatmish, who were advancing to Shiraz with reinforce-

ments for Shah Shuja^ and persuaded them and [Badru'd-Din]

Hilal, Sultan Shibll's guardian [Atdbek) to return with him to
Kirman. There he seduced many of the Amirs and nobles from
their allegiance; put to death Amir Hajji the Master of the
Horse {Mir-dkhur), who was governor of Kirman on behalf
of Shah Shuja*^, and Sultan Shibli's Atdbek, Badru'd-Din
Hilal; imprisoned Sultan Shibli in the Qara-i-Kuh; and
assumed the supreme power. (694) When news of these
events reached Shah Shuja*^ he was greatly discouraged, and
at this juncture Shah Mahmud's army arrived before Shiraz
and daily skirmishes took place. Finally Shah Shuja*^ decided
to Sultan Uways to seek Amir Surghatmish
send his son
(who was believed to be still loyal) in the Garmsir and to
march with him against Kirman to subdue Dawlatshah but ;
they could effect nothing. Meanwhile the siege of Shiraz

dragged on, until finally Shah Mahmud sent a message to
his brother Shah Shuja"^ to say that the "foreign" Amirs
from Baghdad prevented him from concluding any peaceful
agreement, but that if Shah Shuja^ would retire to Abarquh

for a while until he could induce these Amirs to disperse,
a satisfactory agreement could be concluded, and a fair
partition of the country effected between them. (695) Shah
Shuja"^ consents. Text of his reply to his brother. They meet

at the castle of Quhandiz [MS. Fahandir], and Shah Mahmud
agrees to restore the Gastle of Sar-i-Band-i Amir to Shah Shuja*^,
so that he could go that way to Abarquh. His wife, Khatun-i-
*Ûzma, and youngest son. Sultan Zaynu'l-'Âbidin, (696) with

Amir Ikhtiyaru'd-Din Hasan Qurchi, however, took the road
by Shulistan, while Shah Shuja'^ himself went by Qasr-i-Zard,
wherein he acted wisely, as he thereby evaded a party of
the hostile Amirs from Tabriz who had intended to inter-
cept him. His governor at Abarquh, Jalalu'd-Din Turanshah,

received him most loyally, and they agreed to march on
Kirman and endeavour to overthrow the usurper Dawlatshah.
l82 SUPPLEMENTARY CHAPTER.
They set out in the month of Isfandarmudh, A. H. 765, with

a small army army of the Prophet at
equalling in numlaers the
the Battle of Badr {i.e. 313). Dawlatshah came out to meet them
with an army of 4000 men. An Arab Amir named Mahmiid
brought this news to Shah Shuja^ who immediately set out

from Shahr-i-Babak for Sirjan. The two armies met towards
sun-down ;
Shah Shuja^ in spite of the smallness of his force,
attacked valourously (697), and was completely victorious,

capturing abundant spoils and putting Dawlatshah to rout.
Next day he advanced to Kirman, and on reaching Shahabad,
one parasang from the city, found that Dawlatshah had
closed the city gates and was preparing to withstand a siege.
Finally, however, he was induced by Amir Ramadan Akhtaji

to surrender, on condition of pardon for his offences, this
promise being guaranteed by the ivazir Khwaja Turanshah.

Next day Dawlatshah came out, accompanied by his nobles,
and received presents and robes of honour. Shortly after-
wards, however. Shah vShuja^ being informed that Dawlatshah
meditated a fresh act of treachery and even an attempt at
assassination, (698) put him to death. Sultan Uways and
Amir Surghatmish were, on the other hand, honoured and
rewarded. Shah Shuja^ soon afterwards set out to try to
recapture Shiraz, and received reinforcements and adhesions

at Nayriz and other places on his way, but, being deserted
by the Afghan and Jurma'i contingents, and sickness also
having attacked him, he was compelled to return to Kirman.
Campaign in the Garmsir.
Shah Shuja^ next marched into the Garmsir to subdue the

Afghans, who retreated to mountain fastnesses, issuing forth
to fightwhenever an opportunity presented itself. (699) The
campaign was fruitful of hardship to the besiegers, and the
Afghans asked for help from Shah Mahmud, while Shah
Yahya and some of the Amirs came to help Surghatmish.
THE MUZAFFART DYNASTY.
183
Shah Yahya sought to be reconciled to his uncle Shah Shuja*^.

Text of the letter written by the latter to the former in
response to these overtures. (700). Shah Shuja^ being again

attacked by pain in the foot and other complaints, retired
two or three stages. His antagonists, deeming him afraid,
prepared to attack him, whereupon he turned back, fell upon
them unawares, and defeated them. Most of them submitted,
including Amfr Surghatmish, who, with Da'ud-i-Ghuri, had
taken refuge in the QaPa-i-Sulaymanf. Da'ud, however, esca-
ped to Shiraz. Shah Yahya set out from Shiraz with an
army for Yazd, followed by Mubarakshah Aynagh. A battle

took place between them at Khirama (701), and they turned
back. Shah Yahya sent from Yazd to demand the elder
daughter of Shah Shuja*^ in marriage. The request was granted

and the marriage concluded. Shah Shuja^ then set out to
subdue Fars. At Chahar Gunbad Shah Mansur b. Shah Mu-
zafifar b. Muhammad b. came from Yazd to do
Muzafifar
allegiance to his uncle, who treated him with much honour.

From Shahr-i-Babak Shah Shuja"^ turned back to Shfraz, and
Shah Mahmud came to meet him. Pahlawan Khurram advanced
from Mashhad to support Shah Shuja*^, fell in with Shah
Mahmud's army, and was almost defeated when Shah Shuja*^
and his army arrived on the scene (702), and Shah Mahmud
suffered a severe defeat, two hundred of his best horsemen
being drowned in a river which they attempted to cross in
their flight.
Conquest of Shiraz.
Shah Shuja'^ then returned to Shfraz. At Pul Basa he was
again attacked by Shah Mahmud on Saturday, i6th of Dhu'l-

QaMa, A. H. 767 (= July 25, 1366) and a great battle took
place. The people -of Shiraz agreed to open the gates to
Shah Shuja'^, and on Sunday, 24th of Dhu'l-Qa'^da, Shah
Mahmud retreated towards "Îraq. Sultan Îmadu'd-Dfn Ahmad
left him and made his submission to Shah Shuja^ who once
again ruled in Fars, (703) and again frequented the assemblies
of the learned. Thus he attended the lectures of Mawlana
Qiwamu'd-Dfn Faqih Najm and began to study the Usui of Ibn
Hajib with the commentary of Mawlana "Âdudu'd-Din 'Âb-
du'llah. He appointed as Chief Qadi "the Shafi'l of the Age"
Mawlana Baha'u'd-Din "Ûthman Kuh-gelu'i and made Qut-

bu'd-Din Sulayfnan-shah Khwaja Mahmud Grand Wazir.

He also sent Mawlana Ghiyathu'd-Dln Kini to Mecca to

build a rest-house and buy a plot of ground
for pilgrims
for a tomb for himself, giving him 200,000 dindrs for this
purpose. Both the tomb and the rest-house are still in exis-
tence. Arabic verse composed by Shah Shuja*^ for the latter.

She added that he should lose no time, as a large army

was expected shortly from Tabriz, conveying the daughter
of Sultan Uways. Shah Shuja"^ thereupon again set out for
Isfahan and encamped outside the city. Shah Mahmud sent
a deputation of the leading citizens to wait on his brother

his commands. Shah Shuja^ seeing his brother's humiHty

(705), agreed to meet him, and concluded a fresh agreement
with him, which he again returned to Shiraz. In the
after
same year he arrested and imprisoned Khwaja Qutbu'd-Dfn

Sulayman-Shah, and blinded his son Amir Ghiyathu'd-Dln
Mahmiid, and sent him a prisoner to Kirman. Qutbu'd-Din
Sulayman-Shah escaped from prison, went to Isfahan, and
was made zvazir by Shah Mahmud. Shah Shuja'^ made Shah

child the
women. These matters were finally brought to the knowledge

of her husband Shah Mahmud, who, having satisfied him-
self of their truth, ordered her -to be strangled. At this
juncture the daughter of Sultan Uways came with a great

army from Tabriz to "Îraq to reinforce him. He then again
advanced against Fars, and Shah Shuja^ collected an army
and came out to meet him. (706) The two armies met
at Chasht-khwar. Shah Shuja*^ entrusted the right wing to
Sultan Ahmad and the left to Shah Mansur, himself taking
the centre. A fierce battle ensued and lasted all day. Shah
Shuja^ withdrew to Shiraz, but Shah Mansur with the left wing
achieved a partial victory, and entered Shiraz laden with spoil.
Shah Hasan is killed and Tiirdnshdh becomes Wazir.
At this juncture Shah Hasan showed to Shah Shuja*^ a

letter purporting to be written by Khwaja Jalalu'd-Din
Turanshah and Humamu'd-Dfn Mahmud, (707) wherein they
offered him their allegiance and promised to open the city
gates to him if he advanced. On the back of this letter

l86 SUPPLEMENTARY CHAPTER.
Shah Mahmud had written that he would come that very

week. Summoned before Shah Shuja' to give account of this
matter, the two accused persons declared that the letter was
not in their writing, and that they had no knowledge of it.
It happened that Shah Hasan was laid up with pain in the
foot. Amir Ikhtiyaru'd-Dfn Hasan Qiirchi was sent to ascer-

tain how the letter had come into his hands, and suspicion was
aroused that was a forgery effected by order of Shah Hasan
it
by Khwaja Mahmiid-i-Hajji "Ûmar Munshf. Shah Hasan's ivazir

was thereupon seized, tortured and strangled, while Khwaja
Jalalu'd-Din Turanshah was made wazir, a post for which his
talents and virtues eminently fitted him. (708) When news
of these events reached Shah Mahmud, he at once turned
back to Isfahan.
Rebellion of Pahlawdn Asad b. Tughdnshdh at Kirmdn.

When Amfr Mahmud, son of Amir Qutbu'd-Din Sulayman-
shah, was brought to Kirman, he ingratiated himself with

the governor, Pahlawan Asad, who was an old friend of his,
and seduced him from his allegiance to Shah Shuja^ Shah
Yahya also wrote to him from Yazd and inspired him with
ambitions of sovereignty, but the presence of "the Mother
of Kings", Khan Qutlugh, in Kirman restrained him for a
time from overt rebellion, until a serious quarrel broke out

between the wrestlers and athletes of Kirman and those of
Khurasan, which Khan Qutlugh espoused the cause of
in
the Kirmanis and Pahlawan Asad that of the Khurasanis.

Recriminations and complaints ensued, and Khan Qutlugh
Thereupon Pahlawan Asad, relieved of her
retired to Slrjan.
presence, began to strengthen the fortifications. Shah Shuja"^

refused to believe that he really intended rebellion, and
Pahlawan Asad, having put the city in a state of defence,
began to raise an army. (709) In spite of the exhortations
of Shah Shuja*^ to his sons to avoid intestinal quarrels, his
187
eldest son Sultan Uways joined himself to a tribe of Af-

ghans and forged a letter in his father's name bidding Pah-
lawan Asad surrender Kirman to him, and even began to
advance with the tribe on Kirman. Perceiving, however,
that his enterprise was doomed to failure, he left his
army
and made his way to Isfahan to his uncle Shah Mahmud.
This increased Pahlawan Asad's boldness, and he proceeded
to besiege Lakan, the Warden of Qara-i-Kuh, until he sur-
rendered that fortress. He then arrested the agents of Wd-

lidatu's-Saldtin, forced them by torture to reveal to him the
places where her treasures were concealed, and put Khwaja
Muhammad 'Ûlya-abadi in chains (710), taking from him all
that he possessed, and finally killing him. He also poisoned
Khwaja Shamsu'd-Din Muhammad, called Zdhid ("the Asce-

tic") and took his property, and in short greatly oppressed
the people, so that Kirman never again regained its former
prosperity. Shah Shuja"^, on learning of these events, sent
Farrash Hajji Baha'û'd-Dfn to Isfahan to effect a recon-
with his brothers. Being assured in this quarter, he
ciliation
marched on Kirman through the Garmsfr by Jiraft and Bam,

where he learned from the Warden, Amir Husayn, details
of the rebellion and tyranny of Pahlawan Asad, Shah Shuja*^

then advanced hastily to Mahan and alighted at a place
called Shah-abad, only one parasang from Kirman. Here a
fierce battle took place. (711) Shah Mansur and his uncle
Shah Sultan Abii Yazid alighted from their horses and

valourously endeavoured to fight their way across the bridge
by the Darwaza-i-Sa'âdat ("Gate of Happiness") and enter
the city, but Shah Shuja^ fearing lest they should be slain,
ordered them to retire, and, leaving his brother Sultan ''Imadu
'd-Dfn Ahmad to reduce the city
by siege, himself returned
to Shiraz. Sultan Ahmad tarried some days at Zarand, where
many deserters from the army of Kirman joined him. Shah

Yahya asked for reinforcements from Khwaja ''All Mu'ayyad
Sabzawarf, who sent him a hundred horsemen commanded by

the Sarbadar Pahlawan (712) Ghiyath-i-Tuni. Being short of
money wherewith to pay them, Shah Yahya sent them on

to Pahlawan Asad, who, fearing further desertions from his
force, would not set foot outside the city. Sultan Ahmad
encamped to the south of Mahan, where he was joined by

Amir Muhammad Jurma'i and his fellow-Amfrs, who had
forced their way out of the city. Soon, the siege becoming
more rigorous, the city began to suffer severely from lack
of provisions. Finally permission was granted for the poorer
people to leave the city, but many perished and the rest
were scattered. When siege had lasted eight months.
the
Sultan Ahmad was summoned to Shfraz, and the conduct
of the siege was entrusted to Pahlawan Khurram, who induced
Pahlawan Asad to submit. (713) Ameeting between the two
took place in the city in the Qasr-i-Humayun, and it was
agreed that Pahlawan Asad should send his brother Pahlawan

Muhammad b. Tughanshah and one of his sons to Shfraz as
hostages, and should surrender the citadel to the retainers of

Shah Shuja^ namely to Pahlawan "Âll-Shah Marniyanl and
a hundred of his men. This siege' of Kirman began on Ra-
madan 20, A. H. 775 (= March 5, 1374), and ended early in
Rajab, A. H. 776 (= first part' of December, 1374), having

lasted nine months and twenty days. Now there was a secret
passage from the citadel to the Palace, and Pahlawan 'Âll-
Shah, having corrupted some of Pahlawan Asad's retainers,

took advantage of it to send a party of determined men
into the Palace to assassinate Pahlawan Asad. This was
done on Friday in the middle of Ramadan, A. H. JJ^ (=
Feb. 16, 1375), and Pahlawan Asad's head was sent to Shfraz.
Shah appointed Amfr Ikhtiyaru'd-Dfn Hasan Qurchf
Shuja*^
governor of Kirman. (714) He, by his justice and clemency,

restored the prosperity of Kirman, and, by his generosity,
made it a rallying-point for learned and pious men.

Death of Shah Mahmiid and anarch of Shah Shujd^

on Tabriz.
In the month of Shawwal of this year (March, 1375) news

was brought to Shah Shuja*^ from Tabriz that Sultan Uways
was dead and on Wednesday the 14th of that month
;
(March 18, 1375) news arrived that Shah Mahmiid had died
on Shawwal 9 (= March 13) and that the two factions in Isfahan
known Du-danga and Chahar-Danga were fighting, the former
as
wanting Sultan Uways b. Shah Shuja*^ to be qdHm-maqdm or

Viceroy, and the latter demanding a king. The deceased
Shah Mahmud was 38 years, five months and nine days old
when he died, and had ruled over Îraq for 17 years, and for
two years of this period over Fars also. On hearing this news.
Shah Shuja'^ prepared to set out, and several messengers
from Tabarak (715) and elsewhere urged him to make all
possible haste to Isfahan. On approaching that city he was
met by Sultan Uways and many of the Amirs and nobles
of Shah Mahmud, and took possession of Isfahan without
opposition. Sultan Uways shortly afterwards had a fall from

his horse and broke his leg. Shah
continued his pre-
Shuja*^
parations for an advance on Tabrfz, and raised an army of

12,000 men. He advanced by way of Jarbadhakan (Gulpaya-
gan) and Qazwin. At the former place he received adhesions
and reinforcements, but at the latter he met with opposition.
He thereupon attacked the city and took it by storm, but
restrained his troops from looting, threatening death to any
who should offend in this way. He next advanced to Jurma-
khwaran, when Sultan Husayn the son of Sultan Uways oppo-

sed his advance with 24,000 horsemen. Shah Shuja*^ defeated
the opposing army, and (716) took captive two of their leaders,
'Âbdu'l-Qahir and Pahlawan Hajji Khar-banda, whom he sent

inbonds with an announcement of his victory to Fars and Îraq.
He then occupied Tabriz without further difficulty, and sent
1
Shah Mansiir with 2000 horsemen to Qara-bagh, Amir Faraj

to Nakhjuwan, Am{r Isfahan-shah b. Sultan Shah Jandar to
Awjan, and other Amirs to other parts of Adharbayjan.
Return of Shah Shujd^ to Tabriz.
When Shah Shuja'^ had been at Tabriz for two or three

months, two nomad chiefs named Shibli Da'iid and *Ûmar
Jubdastf agreed to attack Awjan with their followers and
overthrow Amfr Isfahan-shah, proclaiming that Sultan Husayn
was at hand with 10,000 horsemen. In this plan they were
successful, capturing Isfahan-shah and scattering or slaying
his soldiers, of whom the survivors fled to Tabriz. Shah
Shuja*^, in spite of the snow and the pain in his foot
from which he suffered, at once set out in a litter and

retreated without halting to Qazwin, where the people
again opposed him (717), but he passed on, without con-
cerning himself with them, to Kashan, where he was joined

in a few days by Shah Mansiir and many of the Amirs
who had been dispersed in different directions, and who
contradicted the rumours of Sultan Husayn's arrival. It was
only two months later that he arrived from Baghdad at
Tabriz, and, in exchange for the nobles of Tabriz taken
captive and afterwards released by Shah Shuja^ sent Amir
Isfahan-shah to *Îraq. Shah Shuja'' gave the daughter of
Sultan marriage to his son Sultan Zaynu'l-'Âbidin,

no action against him until he should have time to commu-

nicate with Shfraz and make his submission, but, when they
were off their guard, he made a sudden sortie and put them
to rout, seizing much spoil. The remnants of the army fled
to Shiraz, and Shah Shuja*^ then resolved to go in person,
to take revenge on Shah Yahya, but Shah Mansur per-
suaded him to allow him to go instead. Shah Yahya, reali-
zing that this army would not withdraw until they had
made an end of him, sent his mother to intercede for him,
and she eventually succeeded in effecting a reconciliation
between the two brothers. The army, learning this, began
to make off in successive bands for Shiraz, leaving only Shah
Mansur and his immediate followers at Yazd. (719) Shah
Yahya now strove to persuade Shah Mansur to go to Ma-
zandaran and raise an army there to enable them to carry

out their joint projects, nor would he allow Shah Mansur
to enter the city. Finally the latter set out for
Mazandaran,
and Shah Shuja^ arrived in person with a large army to
punish Shah Yahya, who again, however, by means of the
intercession of the daughter and elder sister of Shah Shuja^
and his youngest son Sultan Jahangir, succeeded in pacifying
the angry monarch and inducing him to withdraw to Shfraz.
In the year A. H. 780 —
(= A. D. 1378 9) Shah Husayn b.
Shah Muzaffar b. Muhammad b. Muzaffar, the younger bro-
ther of Shah Yahya, came to Shfraz, and was well received
by his uncle Shah Shuja"^ who appointed him deputy [qdHm-
maqdm) of his brother Shah Mansur. In A. H. 781 (= A. D.
1379
— 1380) Shah Shuja*^ set out for Sultaniyya, where a
certain Sariq "Âdil had gathered together an army and was
endeavouring by violence to usurp the supreme power. (720)
He suffered a serious reverse; his great army, drawn from
Fars, and Luristan, waS scattered, and he himself was

'Îraq
thrown from his horse. Surrounded by a few faithful retainers

he continued to fight on foot, until Malik Bawarchf, one of
his officers, gave him his own horse. Another officer, Akhi
Kuchuk, "the Rustam of the Age", came up and stayed the
panic, and presently 10,000 or 15,000 gathered round Shah
Shuja^ One of Shah Husayn's standards and a set of his
kettle-drums were recovered by them, and Shah Shuja^ taking
this as a good omen, ordered shouts of victory to be raised.
Hearing these, and seeing such trophies in the hands of their

foes, Sariq' Âdil's men were panic-stricken and fled to the
city,which was soon afterwards occupied by Shah Shuja*^.

Sariq *Âdil and his captains took refuge in the citadel, and
began to sue for peace. Shah Shuja*^ received their overtures
favourably, and a treaty was concluded. (721) Rich presents
were given to Shah Shuja^ who then received Sariq *Âdil
with honour, left him in possession of the city, and returned
with his army to Shfraz.
About this time several other events took place deserving

of mention.
First, Sultan Zaynu'l-'Âbidin, to whom the government of
Isfahan had been entrusted, by reason of his youth and the
pride of ignorance neglected his duties to the people. He
was therefore dismissed, and Pahlawan Khurram was made
governor in his stead. He on his death was succeeded by
Pahlawan Muhammad Zaynu'd-Din. Ultimately Sultan Zaynu'l-
*Âbidin, after suffering a brief imprisonment, was restored.
Secondly, Sultan Ahmad, the son of Sultan Uways '),
rebelled
in Tabriz, killed his brother Sultan Husayn and others of
his kinsmen, and usurped control over the province of Adhar-
bayjan.
Thirdly, Fir 'All Badak, one of the chief nobles of Hama-
dan, fled Shfraz, where he was well received by Shah
to
Shuja*^ and sent to Shiishtar, which he subdued, appointing

a servant named Islam as its governor, and himself pro-
ceeding to Baghdad, where he struck coins in the name of

Shah Shuja*^, and caused the khiitba to be read in his name.

(722) Fourthly, Sultan Ahmad set out from Tabriz for
Baghdad. Prince Shaykh "Ah' and Pi'r ""Ah' Badak went with
an army to intercept him, but were both killed and their
army routed, and Baghdad also fell into Sultan Ahmad's hands.
Fifthly, SultanUways, son of Shah Shuja^ sickened and died.
Sixthly, Shah Mansur, who had been for a while a fugitive
in Mazandaran, came to Sultaniyya to Sariq "Âdil, who,
.
since he claimed to be loyal to Shah Shuja", arrested and
imprisoned him. He by some of his

was, however, released
adherents, and came
Baghdad, where
to he was well received
by Sultan Ahmad, of whose sincerity, however, he was suspi-

cious. Islam, the governor of Shushtar, informed Shah Shuja*^
of this, and he sent Pahlawan "Âli Shah Marniyani to Islam's

help. The former, as soon as he had established himself,
designed to oust the latter, but his plot miscarried, and he

himself was killed. In the same year Sultan Ahmad sent
Shah Mansur Shustar,to which he gained admittance
into
by the help of certain friendly Shaykhs. He then gradually

rid himself of his most powerful opponents, and began to
harry the province of Luristan, killing and plundering the

and begged him to send an army and take Shushtar. At
an ambassador arrived from Baghdad, and Sultan
this juncture
Ahmad complained of Sariq "Âdil, because he had placed

his younger brother, Sultan Bayazid, on the throne at Sul-
taniyya, and had thus created an estrangement between the

brothers. Shah Shuja'^ answered both ambassadors according
to their desires, promising to march on Sultaniyya with an
army, and, on his return thence, to proceed to Shushtar by
way of Lur-i-Kuchak.
Sultan Shibli is arrested and blinded.
Shah Shuja"^, on setting out from Shlraz, was accompanied

13
by his son Sultan Shibli, who generally followed two or
three stages behind him. At Bayda he wished to review his
army befoVe his father. (724) Certain mischief-makers sought

to alarm Shah Shuja*^ by misrepresenting the Prince's object,
and accusing him of rebellious intentions, asserting that he

was secretly in league with Amfr Muzaffaru'd-Dfn Salghar-
shah Rashfdf. Shah Shuja^ recalling the legendary king Firf-
diin's words to his undutiful sons (here given not from the
Shdhndnia, but in Arabic), was much alarmed, and in the

month of Rabi^ i, A. H. 785 (= May 1383) arrested both the
accused, Amir Salghar-shah in the citadel,
imprisoning the
and Sultan Shibli in the castle of Iqlid. Then one day, being
drunk, he ordered Amir Ramadan Akhtaji and Khwaja
Jawhar-i-Kuchak to go to the castle and deprive the Prince
of his sight. Next day Shah Shuja*^ repented of his action,
and sent mounted messenger to countermand the cruel
off a
order, but he arrived too late, and the king's repentance

was vain. This cruel deed, moreover, brought him ill luck,
for Khan Qutlugh "the Mother of Kings" died (725), and
Shah Husayn, the brother of Shah Yahya and Shah Mansur
also diedon that campaign. Shah Shuja*^ then proceeded to
Sultaniyya. When he reached Qazwin, Sultan Bayazid and
Sariq *Âdil came out to meet him, and were graciously
received. Amir Ya^qiib-shah the standard-bearer was sent to
Sultan Ahmad, and peace was concluded between the bro-
thers. Shah Shuja"^ removed Sariq 'Âdil from his post, and
returned to Shfraz.
Shah Shujd^ marches against Shushtar and Luristdn.

On returning from Qazwin, Shdh Shujd^ sent his army by
way of Lur-i-Kuchak to Khurram-dbad, where he encamped
beneath the citadel and received the allegiance of Malik "Îzzu'd-
Din, whose daughter he demanded in marriage. The service
was conducted by MawUna SaMu'd-Din Anasi, and four days
were devoted to the celebration of their nuptials. After this

Shah Shuja^ proceeded over bad roads and through moun-
tains to Dizful and Shushtar, the army suffering much from
the cold, for it was winter. When they reached the Shushtar
river, heavy rain came on, which lasted for several days,
but finally the weather cleared, and the Atabek Shamsu'd-

Din Pashang arrived, and also Shah Mansur, from the other
side of the river, with 500 or600 horsemen fully equipped.
Thus they remained for a week, as the river was too high
for them to be able to cross. On both sides there was talk
(726) of peace. Shah Mansur came to one bank of the river,

and Shah Shuja^ to the other, and this was as near as they
could come to meeting. Shah Shuja'^ then retired, promising
the Atabek to send an army from Shiraz under the command
of Sultan Bayazid to reinforce him, and proceed with him
to Shushtar by way of Kuh-Gayluya. Shah Shuja*^ returned
to Shiraz, while the Atabek went to Idaj. On the march
Faraj Agha deserted Shah Shuja*^ and went to Shushtar. On

reaching Shiilistan, Shah Shuja^ remained there a few days
making merry, but, falling ill, he proceeded to Shiraz, where
he was met by the ladies of the court, who were returning
from Isfahan. Once more he plunged into an orgie of drink-
ing, which he continued without intermission until his ill-
ness again grew serious, and he was obliged to take to his
bed. His complaint baffled the skill of the physicians, (727)

and he presently realized that he must die, and .set about
making all the arrangements for his funeral and interment.

Meanwhile the Amirs and people were divided into two hostile
parties as to who should succeed the dying king, one preferring
Shah Shuja'^'s son Sultan Zaynu'l-'Âbidin, and the other his
brother Sultan Ahmad. Shah Shuja^ on hearing this, sent for his
son Zaynu'l-Abidin, and gave him some fatherly advice on the
necessity of unity and concord amongst kinsmen, of which the

substance is given. (728) Zaynu'l-Âbidin was much moved by
this, and by his father's impending death, and on his coming

forth from the death-chamber, Shah Shuja"^ sent for his brother
Sultan Ahmad and they wept together. Then Shah Shuja*^
gave Sultdn Ahmad a similar admonition, begged him to set

out at once for Kirmdn and assume the government of that
city, and urged him not to suffer himself to be led into rebel-
lion against Zaynu'l-'Âbidin, nor to give countenance to
those mischief-makers who were already engaged in stirring

up strife. He
then gave him further advice as to his beha-
viour, and what he should seek and avoid. (729) Advice of
Shdh Shujd*^ to Sultdn Ahmad as to the government of Kirmdn
and Bam, the treatment of the tribes, and other matters,
continued. (730) On that very day Sultan Ahmad left Shirdz
and set out for Kirman. After this Shdh Shuja*^ wrote a
letter to Ti'mur (Tamerlane). Text of this letter. (731) Same

continued. (732) Same continued. Shdh Shujd*^ mentions his
age as fifty-three. He announces his choice of Zaynu'l-'Âbidfn
as his successor, and commends him and his other sons and
brothers to Timur's favour. (733) Conclusion of letter. —
Having completed all these arrangements. Shah Shujd*^ expired
on Sunday, 22nd of Sha'bdn, A. H. y86 (= October 9, A. D.
1384), and was buried at the foot of the Mountain of Chil
Maqdm at Shfrdz, according to the wish which he had ex-
pressed '). (734) His age at the time of his death was 5 3 years
and 3 months, and he had reigned 27 years. On his death
confusion ensued : the people of "Îrdq demanded Shdh Yahyd;
Sultdn Ahmad, as already narrated, was ruler of Kirmdn;
and Sultdn Zaynu'l-'Âbidfn reigned in Shfrdz in the place
of his father.
i) This statement hardly agrees with that made on p. 703 of the text
(p. 178 supra) to the ciTect that ShAh Shujd' spent a large sum of money in
buying a plot of ground for his tomb at Mecca.

No sooner had Zaynu'l-'Âbidfn succeeded his father than
Shah Yahya marched from Isfahan to attack him. Sultan
Bayazid deserted the former and joined the latter. The two
armies, however, separated without fighting, and some sort
of agreement was made between the two rivals. Soon after-
wards the Isfahanis, prompted by their intrinsic malice and

turbulence, expelled Shah Yahya from their city (735), and he
fled with his retainers to Yazd, while Sultan Bayazid went to
Luristan. Zaynu'l-Âbidin, being informed of this, appointed
his mother's brother Amfr Muzafifar-i-Kdshf governor of Isfahan.

Sultan 'Îmadu'd-Din Ahmad
reached Kirman on Friday,
the 20th of Sha*^ban, A. H. 786 (= October 7, 1384), and was
met by the loyal and God-fearing Amir Ikhtiyaru'd-Dfn Hasan
Qiirchf, and other notables of the city, who brought him to
the Qasr-i-Humdyim (Royal Palace) and delivered to him the
keys. Amir Hasan but was not permitted, to go to

wished,
Shiraz. Two days later the news of the death of Shah Shuja*^
arrived, and public mourning was observed. Sultan Ahmad

was enthroned as ruler of Kirman. His virtues and benefi-
cence, especially towards the ûlamd. His lack of decision
and easy-going character.
Amir Surghatmish the Afghdn joins his tribe.
Zaynu'l-Âbidin, having made peace with Shah Yahya,

released Amir Surghatmish (736), who had been for some
time detained by Shah Shujd^ and sent him to his tribe.
Sultan Ahmad, on his arrival at Kirman, showed much favour
to Amir Muhammad Jurma'f, who had formerly served him^
faithfully, and imprisoned Amir Tdkur the Afghan. The

Afghan amirs were, generally speaking, in a miserable and
impoverished condition, and, on the arrival of Amfr Sur-
ghatmish in the Garmsir, at once joined him. Sultdn Ahmad,
being informed of this by Amir Muhammad, set out from
Kirman with an army. On reaching the Garmsir ') he was joined
by a nuYnber of warriors, whom he received with honour,
and proceeded to Chahar Gunbad, where he was further
reinforced by Amfr Muhammad with number of the Jurma'i
a
amirs. Surghatmish sent scouts to bring him correct infor-

mation about this army, but these fell in with a detachment
of Sultan Ahmad's army and were put to rout. Surghatmish
thereupon retreated to the Garmsfr to Tarim, leaving his

brother Jamshfd in the Castle of Arzu. A letter from 'AH
[b.] Nasr, the governor of Sirjdn, to Surghatmish, promising him

help, fell into Sultdn Ahmad's hands, and he caused 'Âli
[b.]
Nasr to be put to death, and set out for Sirjan, where he
confiscated the traitor's possessions. Two>or three days later
the Sultdn set out to lay siege to the Castle of Arzu, (737)
which he subdued without much difficulty, and put certain
suspected persons to death, sending Jamshid in chains with
the severed heads of the slain to Kirman, whither he followed
him. In A. H. 787 (= A. D. 1385 — 6) arrived an envoy from
Ti'miir, viz. Mawldnd Qutbu'd-Din, bringing assurances of
favour and friendship, and Sultan Ahmad caused Timur's
name to be inserted on the coinage and in the khtitba.
After this Amfr Surghatmish sought help from Shfrdz, and

received reinforcements commanded by Pahlawdn Zaynu'd-
Amfr Muhammad at once informed Sultdn
Di'n Shahr-i-Bdbakf.
Ahmad, who wished to march against Surghatmish in person,
but was dissuaded, and contented himself with sending an
army commanded by Pahlawdn 'Âli Qiirchf, who was "the

conjectural.

mad slew Siirghatmish in single combat with a blow of his
mace, and the enemy, on seeing this, lost all discipline and
courage and were speedily routed, with great losses in slain
and prisoners. Sultan Ahmad then appointed Pahlawan ÂH
Qiirchi governor of the Afghans.
Arrival of Sultan Abii Yazid [or Bdyazid] b. Muhammad

b. al-Muzaffar at Kirmdn.
In A. H. 788 (= A.
D. 1386—7) Sultan Bayazid set out from
Luristan for Kirman, sending Khwaja Tdju'd-Dfn Salmani on
in advance to announce his arrival. Sultan Ahmad sent Mihtar
Hasan the farrdsh to meet him and prepare fodder and pro-
visions for his escort. Sultan Bayazid halted at Shahr-i-BAbak,
and and hungry soldiers began to loot and

his ill-disciplined
plunder. Sultan Ahmad was much vexed at this, and refused

to allow Sultan Bayazid to enter Kirman, so he turned back
disappointed to Yazd and joined Shah Yahya.
{739) Timur's first entry into Îrdq and Fdrs.
Shawwal, A. H. 789 (= Oct.— Nov., A. D. 1387) news

In
arrived that Ti'mur had advanced into "Îraq, and that Amir
Muzaffar-i-Kashi and all the nobles and captains of "Îraq v
had waited upon him and surrendered to him the keys of
all the cities and fortresses. Sultan Zaynu'l-Âbidin with his
Amirs left Shiraz and went towards Baghdad, while Shah

Yahya busied himself in preparing suitable presents where-
with to propitiate Timur (who promised security to all who
submitted to him) and ordered a certain sum of money to
be paid to him for the maintenance of his army. His officers
entered Isfahan to collect this money, but the Isfahanis rose
against them and slew then? all. Next day Timur's soldiers
entered the city and made a general massacre, in which

nearly 200,000 of the inhabitants were slain. Then Tfmur

set out for Fdrs, and Sultdn Ahmad came from Kirman to
pay him his respects, sending Amfr Ikhthiydru'd-Dln Hasan

on in advance. (740) The latter was well received by Timur,
and consequence sent messages to Sultan Ahmad urging
in
him to come without delay. He also met with a favourable

reception from the great conqueror, and
was by him con-
firmed in the government of Fdrs, ""Irdq and Kirman. Then
Tfmur returned to his capital Samarqand.
Sultan Bdyazid comes to Kirman.
Sultdn was accompanied on his return to Kirman

Ahmad
by some of Tlmur's revenue officers. Sultan Bayazid was
preparing to march on India, but, on hearing how the king-
dom had been apportioned by Tfmiir, he returned to the
Garmsir, where he was joined by the tribe of the Afghans.
Sultdn Ahmad was greatly disturbed by this news, the country
being in disorder and the army scattered, some of the sol-
diershaving even joined Sultan Bayazid, but nevertheless

he marched out to attack his rival, whom he defeated and
took prisoner, but treated kindly (741) and forgave, though
he put to death those who had misled him, and sent their
heads with a proclamation of victory to Kirman, whither he
followed them, accompanied by his brother. Thence he went
to on a hunting excursion, sending his brother to
Sfrjan
Manuqan to look after the revenues of Hurmuz. He then
returned to Kirmdn, where he was presently joined by his
brother Bayazid after he had compelled the people of Ma-
nuqdn (or Manujdn) to submit and pay tribute.
Capture of Sultdn ZaynuH-Âbidin.
When Sultdn Zaynu'l-'Âbidfn, with his Amirs, soldiers and
treasures, out from Shlrdz for Baghdad, he was met at

set
Shiishtar by Shdh Mansur, and brought across the river to

the city, which he encamped. He was hospitably

entertained by Shah Mansur, and was visited by the wife
of the latter (who was the daughter of Shah Shujd^ and
therefore his sister or half-sister) and her son Sultan Gha-
danfar. Gradually, as confidence increased, the soldiers of
Zaynu'l-Âbidin, and finally he himself with his captains,

ventured into the city in pursuance of their affairs, until
suddenly Shah Mansur seized and bound Zaynu'l-Âbidin

and his chief officers, took possession of his treasure and
property, and invited his soldiers to take service with him.
{742) Being aware that his brother Shah Yahya was in
Shiraz and that Tfmur had returned to Samarqand, Shah
Mansur imprisoned Zaynu'l 'Âbidfn in the citadel, induced
most of his Amirs to join him, and marched on Shiraz.
Shah Yahya, unable to meet him, retreated to Yazd, and
Mansur occupied Shiraz without opposition. He seized the
chief nobles, and blinded Amir Ghiyathu'd-Din Mansur Shul.
Shah Yahya, on reaching Yazd, lured Pahlawan-i-Muhadh-

dhab, the governor of Abarquh, thither on some pretext,
and on his arrivalput him to death, seized Abarquh, and
took possession of his treasure, which he had amassed in
the course of many years. He then sent messengers to Sultan
Abu Ishaq at Sirjan, and induced him to enter into an alliance.
Shah Yahya marches on Kir man.
When Sultan Abu Ishaq, relinquishing all thought of
Kirmdn, Shah Yahya, the latter marched

allied himself with
from Yazd by way of Anar to subdue Kirman, plundering

as he went, until he arrived at Nuq. Amir Ikhtiydru'd-Dln
Hasan, one of the principal nobles of Kirman, had recently
died. Sultan Ahmad and his brother [Sultan Bayazid] set out
on their march, while Shah Yahya proceeded from Nuq to

Baft, where he was joined by Sultan Abu Ishaq and the army
of Sirjan, and where the two armies met in battle. At this
juncture an ambassador, who was coming from the court of
Tfmur to Kirmdn (743), came up, and strove to effect a
reconciUation, but without success. On Saturday, the 7th of

Jumdda I, A. H. 792 {= April 23, 1390) a battle took place
at Baft between the two factions, in which Shah Yahya was
finally defeated and fled to Yazd, while Sultan Abu Ishdq

entrenched himself in Si'rjan. Sultan Ahmad sent a procla-
mation of his victory with the heads of the slain to Kirman,

and proceeded to Sirjan, which capitulated after a few days'
siege. Abu Ishdq surrendered, did obeisance to Sultan Ahmad,

was pardoned and received back into favour, and was restored
to his former position as governor of Sfrjdn. Amfr Hajji Shah,
the brother of Abu Ishaq's mother, who was deemed respon-
sible for this (744) was, however, "put to death
rebellion
after a brief imprisonment. In the same year, in the month
of Shawwdl (Sept. 12
— Oct. 10, 1390), Sultan Abu Ishaq died,
aged 37, and was deeply mourned by the people of Kirman.

Sultdn Zaynu'l-'Âbidin comes to Isfahdn.
When Shdh Mansur had established himself in Shiraz, some

of those charged with the custody of Zaynu'l-*Âbidin at
Shushtar agreed to liberate him and bring him to Isfahan,

where he was well received by the people.

When Shdh Mansur had established himself in Shirdz, he
proceeded to attack and capture Abarqiih, and then mar-

ched on Isfahdn, devastating the country as he passed. He
returned, however, to Shirdz without effecting much, and
found it suffering from famine and drought (745). i" conse-
quence of which many of the people of Fdrs had perished

or emigrated.The Atdbek Shamsu'd-Din Pashang had been

succeeded on his death by the Atdbek Pir Ahmad, between
whom and hisyounger brother Malik Hiishang a quarrel had
arisen, in which the latter was slain. Thus internecine strife
arose in Shah Mansur proceeded thither and
Luristan, and
drove out Pfr Ahmad, who went to lay a complaint before
Timur. Shah Mansur meanwhile appointed Malik Uways, a
local nobleman, governor of Luristan, and himself set out
for Shiraz to prepare a fresh expedition against Isfahan.
Meanwhile Shah Yahya had persuaded Zaynu'l-'Âbidin that
he must ally himself with Sultdn Ahmad to seek vengeance
on Shah Mansur, and the two allies agreed to meet at Si'rjdn
in Safar, A. H. 793 (= January, 1391). There Sultan Ahmad
and his son Sultdn Ghiyathu'd-Din Muhammad

were met by
Sultan Zaynu'l-*Âbidin coming from Isfahan, and entertained
by Sultan Abu Ishaq (746). After a few days they set out for
Fars. At Tdrim they were joined by the Hazara tribe, but
at Furg Shah Mansur with a large army barred their way.
•Sultan Ahmad made his way to Nayriz by way of Khush-
Nawa. Shah Yahya sent word that he was coming with all
speed and that his allies should await his arrival, so, in spite
of the advice of their officers and nobles to continue their
advance, they tarried some ten days in that neighbourhood.

However, Shah Yahya did not arrive, and meanwhile Shah
Mansur re-entered Shirdz, raised and equipped a fresh army,
and again took the field. Sultan Ahmad went by way of
Sarvistan to Pasd (Fasa), while Shah Mansur proceeded by

another road to the Garmsir. The two armies met on a
Friday evening at Fasa. Shah Mansur, who expected reinfor-
cements, pretended to wish to arrive at a peaceful agreement,

and battle was not joined until Saturday, when he fiercely
attacked the armieS of Kirman and Isfahdn, put them to rout,
and killed many. The fugitives made for Kirmdn, but Sultdn
Zaynu'l-'Âbidin left them at Qatra and went to Isfahdn,
while Sultan Ahmad went to Kirman, and Sultan Abu Ishdq

halted at Sfrjdn.
Isfahdn is captured by Shah Mansur, and Sultan Zaynul-

'Âbidin taken and blinded.
(747) Shdh Mansur after his victory returned to Shiraz,

and was joined by many deserters from the rival army. He
then marched on Isfahan, and Sultan Zaynu'l-'Âbidin, unable
to oppose him, fled to Khurasan by way of Ray. Shdh Mansur
was now master of 'Îrdq. The governor of Ray, Musd "Jaw-kar"
("the barley-farmer"), treacherously seized Zaynu'l-'Âbidin and
sent him bound Shah Mansur, who immediately deprived
to
him of his eyesight. What Shdh Mansur subsequently suffered

at the hands of Timur is regarded by the author as a punish-
ment Shah Mansur next proceeded to Yazd,

for this cruel deed.

laid that city and its environs, after which he set out
for Kirmdn, whither he sent an ambassador bidding his uncle
and his brother Shdh Yahyd renounce their allegiance to
Tfmur and each send one of the sons and some retainers to
accompany him to Khurasan and hold the river (Oxus) against
a possible invasion of Timur. (748) In case of their refusal,
he threatened them with war. Sultdn Ahmad declined to
accede to this proposal, and pointed out the folly of pro-
voking Tfmur. Shah Mansur thereupon harried the neigh-
bourhood and then returned to Shiraz, whence he presently
set out again to lay siege to Yazd where Shah Yahya was.
Several took place, in one of which a certain

skirmishes
Amfr of Shah Mansur's named Gurgin was killed. Shah Mansur,
greatly enraged, laid waste the whole country-side and again
advanced on Kirman as far as Rudan and Rafsinjan, laying
waste this country Some of his Amirs
also. deserted him and
joined Sultan Ahmad, who accorded them a good reception.
Shah Mansur, alarmed at these desertions, withdrew to Shiraz,
and succeeded by favours and gifts in inducing Sultan Abii Ishaq

to join him (749) in attacking Kirmdn. Abu Ishaq advanced from

Sirjan into the Garmsir, and Sultan Ahmad marched thither
to meet him, halting for a month at Baft, where ambassadors
from Timur came to him and informed him that their master
was advancing with his army on ''Iraq and Fdrs, and that
it behoved him to meet them with the
army of Kirman at
Ray. Sultan Ahmad
thereupon returned to Kirmdn, where,
prompted by certain envious and malicious slanderers, he
put to death Pahlawdn Qutbu'd-Din Haydar on a false charge
of intriguing with Sultan Abu Ishdq. Tfmur's envoy ') began to
approach Kirman at the beginning of A. H. 795 (= latter part
of November, 1392), and Sultan Ahmad with all his nobles went
to meet him and bring him in to Kirman. Shah Mansur,
who was then at Isfahan, retired to Shiraz and betook him-
self to the wine-bottle, so that for forty days no one saw
him in public.
(750) Second invasion of Fdrs by Timicr.
Timur, on leaving his winter quarters in Mazandaran, and

subduing Sultaniyya and the neighbourhood, proceeded to
Hamadan, whence he sent Muhammad Sultan Bahadur through
Kurdistan, with orders to rejoin the main army at Huwayza

and Dizful. At the same time he sent prince "Ûmar
Shaykh
Bahadur by way of Qum, Awa, Sawa and parts of Lur-i-
Buzurg and Lur-i-Kuchak to meet him at the same rendez-
vous. Malik 'Îzzu'd-Din the Lur was at that time engaged
in a dispute with his son, but on hearing of the advance of
Tlmur's they at once made peace, and, going in
troops
opposite directions, evacuated Lur-i-Kuchak. Timur, leaving

Amir Sayfu'd-Din Qultash with some 500 men to hold Bu-
rujird, and Amir Hajji Timur Buqa and Shaykh Sistani, with
the same number Khurramabad, advanced
of men, to hold
towards Shushtar by way of Samra (751). and thence to
Dizful, where he was received by the nobles and chief men.
When "Âli Kiitwal and Amir Isfandiyar who governed Shushtar
on behalf of Shah Mansur, heard this, they fled to Shfraz,
and Timur entered Dizful without opposition. Leaving Khwaja

Mas^d with a thousand men to garrison Shushtar, and Hasan-i-
Rashid at Huwayza, and one of his Khurasanl officers at
Dizful, Timur advanced by way of Bahbahan towards Shiraz.
Mihtar Saâdat the farrdsh, who was the Warden of Qal'â-i-
Safid, trusting in the impregnability of that fortress, renowned

from ancient times, opposed Timiir, who, on the third day
after his arrival, stormed and took the castle and put all
the garrison to the sword. When this news reached Shah

Mansur he fled incontinently from Shiraz to the Bridge of
Fasa. Being joined there by certain fugitives, he enquired
of them what the people of Shiraz were saying, and they
replied that they were laughing at him because, with all his
arrogance and heavy quiver, he had "fled like a goat".
(752) On hearing this, shame and his evil destiny prompted
him to turn back and oppose Timur, who had already
reached Shiraz, with his small army of 3000 men, mostly
nomads. When Timur saw him prepared for battle, he entrusted
the right wing of his host to Pfr Muhammad Bahadur, the
left to Prince. Muhammad Sultan Bahadur and the centre to his
son (753) Prince Shah Rukh. As Timur's army advanced. Shah
Mansur's right and left wings at once gave way and fled, but
he himself, with his bravest retainers, stood firm, and fought
with desperate valour, so that Timur's body-guard gave
way, all except four or five men •),
until at last he was left

Unrecognized, he made
way his into the city; but one of
Tfmur's soldiers dragged him from his horse, and, as he fell
to the ground, his helmet fell off his head, and he cried,
"I am he whom you seek: give me a draught of water, and

take me alive to Tfmur." The soldiers paid no heed to his

to Timur. Most of his retainers were also killed or taken

Kubra, and asked (789) what atonement would
suffice to expiate this deed, to which the Shaykh
replied that their lives and the lives of many

others would hardly expiate it; a saying presum-
ably held to have hinted prophetically at the

fatal results of the impending Mongol invasion.

(After N°. 151, on 794, there follows a mere list of

p.
names, concerning whom the author has been unable to

ascertain any particulars as to date or circumstances. This list
extends to p. 796, 1.
14, and, with the longer notices which
precede, brings up the total number of Shaykhs mentioned

to 287). —
(796) According to a tradition there are always
300 of God's Saints [Awliyd) on earth, of whom 40 attain
great, 7 still greater, and one supreme eminence. This last
is the Qiitb or "Pole", the Pivot of the World, and God's
Proof to His creatures. On his death he is succeeded by the
next in order, and {797) this hierarchy thus exists unbroken.
The author puts the total number of Saints whose names
are recorded at over 80,000 and possibly as many as 124,000,
of whom, for the sake of brevity, he has, he says, enume-

rated 313, so that there are evidently some omissions in
this manuscript and most others. The author ends this sec-
tion with a bitter denunciation of the Shaykhs and Sufis of
his own time.
i) According to the Jdmiû't-Tatudrikh (Paris MS., Suppl. persan 209,
ff.
'iîb
— 354a) and Ibn Taghri Bardi's al-Manhalu' s-Sdfi (Paris MS., Fonds

Hammuya who was instrumental in converting Ghazan Khdn and some 100,000
Mongol soldiers to Islam. See vol. i of the To' rikh-i-Jahdngushdy in this
series, pp. LXii — LXiii (-:_ — ^_-^) of the Persian Introduction. It is difficult to
account for the discrepancy between these and the To' rikh-i-Guzida^ since
the authors of all three works were in a position to know the truth. Perhaps
the author of the Guzida war anxious to give credit to a fellow-citizen for
this achievement.

i) The name, kunya and nisba of this writer are here wrongly given. In
the most correct of the Paris MSS. (Suppl. persan 173, f. 277a) they are
given as follows: "Sayyid Isma*îl b. Husayn b. Mahmud b. Ahmad al-*Âlawi

236

was Ismaîl and his native place Jurjdn.

4) In the preface to the Kitdb-i- Yamini the translator gives his name as

CHAPTER VI. — ACCOUNT OF THE CITY OF QAZWIN,

THE AUTHOR'S NATIVE PLACE, IN
SEVEN SECTIONS.
(830) Section I. — How it received its name.
In the Kitdbut-Tibydn it is stated that Shapur I the Sasa-

nian founded the city and named it Shdd-Shdpicr. One af the
Sasanians was conducting a campaign against the Daylamis,
and a battle was taking place in the Plain of Qazwin. The
general in command, seeing a weak point in his ranks, said to
one of his officers 'Ân kdsh vin va rdst kiin^'' ("See that crooked
thing and put it right"), and the name Kashvin (afterwards
Qazwin and Qazbin) was afterwards applied to the town.
Section 2. — Character and buildings of the city.
The quarter called Shahristan is in the middle of the old

town built by Shapur, when he fled from Rum to Persia.
An old fire-temple which once stood by the river is now a
monastery for qalandars. After the victory which he obtained

over the Greeks (831), Shapur regarded Qazwin with especial
veneration, and took great pains to enlarge and beautify
the city, but his builders were much harrassed by the Day-
lamites, and Shapur, being occupied with the subjugation of

the Arabs, was obliged to bribe the Daylamites to keep
quiet. The building was begun in the month of Aban in the
year 463 of Alexander, 1178 solar years before the time of

writing '),
the sign of Gemini being in the ascendant. As
for the Ta'rikh-i-Guzida was completed in
i) This is obviously erroneous,
A. H. 730 (=A.D. 1330), and 1178 years before that would give A. D. 152,
a century earlier than the reign of Shapdr I the Sasanian.
228 CHAPTER VI, SECTIONS 2—4.
soon as Shapiirwas freed from other preoccupations, he

attacked the Daylamites with vigour, subdued them, and
treated them with the utmost severity, and the persistent
hostilitybetween them and the people of Qazwi'n dates from
those days. Introduction of Islam and conquest and enlarge-
ment of Qazwin by SaM b. al-'Âs the Umayyad (832). Qazwin
again enlarged by the Caliph al-Hadi, who called the city
Madinata Miisd ("the City of Miisa", Musa being his own name).
This portion of the present town is now called Sanamak ').
Section 3. — Conquest and Conversion of Qazwin.
Account of the conquest of Qazwin by the Arabs in the

Kitdbu' l-Bulddn. Apostacy of inhabitants after first conquest.
Second conquest by Abu "Âbdi'r-Rahman al-Harithi. Genui-
neness of their subsequent conversion to Islam. In the author's
time a few of the inhabitants of the Dastajird quarter were
Hanafis and Shfis, but the vast majority Shafi%, and there
were also a few Jews, but no other sect or religion was
represented.

and tombs of Qazwin.
Suburbs. — Bishariyyat; Dashti; Abhar-Rudh; Faqiran.

in Mubarakabad, made by Malik Iftikharu'd-Dfn, and
bequeathed by him with a garden to maintain his mau-

soleum. Originally the whole town was supplied by wells,
some of which are over a hundred yards in depth. A
qandt was made by Hamza b. Alyasa^ Sultan Mahmud's

Thawb Bdb-Kandn, originally an idol-temple, the first
building used as a mosque after the conversion of the

'Âbbad came several times; Tughril the Seljuq, and
Malikshah the Seljuq, who, learning the terror inspired

with special orders to check their depredations; Muham-
mad b. Malikshah, during his war with his brother Bar-

[of AbasgunJ in the Caspian in which he finally took

refuge; the Salghuri Atabek Sa'^d-i-Zangf came there
when he escaped from Khwarazmshah, and lodged in

and his amirs and captains stayed 18 days in the house

of Malik Iftikharu'd-Din; Ahmad Khan, Gaykhatu Khan,
Ghazan Khan, 'Uljaytu Sultan, and Abu Sa'îd all of them
repeatedly passed by or visited Qazwin.
Section 6. — Governors of Qazwin.
In Sasanian times the governors lived at Sarv-badh in the

summer and at Ray in the winter. In Muhammadan times,
Abu Dujana Simak (839) b. Kharasha al-Ansarf and Kathi'r
b. Shihab al-Harithi were governors for the Caliph 'Ûmar;

and Sa'î'd b. al-'Âs al-Umawi for 'Ûthman. Five successive
governors (named) represented *Âli. In Umayyad times Hajjaj
b. Yusuf, who was governor of most of Persia, appointed
his son Muhammad; later Yazid b. al-Muhallab, Qutayba b.
Muslim, and Nasr b.Sayyar appointed governors. In early
'Âbbasid times the government of Persia was chiefly in the
hands of the Barmecides [Al-i-Barmak); later came Âli b.
"Îsa b. Mahan and the House of Tahir. In the time of the
Caliph al-Mu'^tasim, when the Daylamites were again giving

trouble, the author's ancestor (the fourteenth in line of
ascent) Fakhru'd-Dawla Abu Mansiir al-Kufi, a descendant

of Hurr b. Yazid ar-Riyahi, was sent there to command
the army and administer the province (840) in A. H. 223
(= A. D. 838), and for nearly 200 years his descendents, all
of whom bore the title Fakhru'd-Dawla, were entrusted
with these functions. Thus in A. H. 251 (= A. D. 865) they
acted for two years for ad-Da*^{ ila'1-Haqq Hasan b. Zayd ') ;
then for 38 years for Musa b. Buqa, governor of Persia for

the Caliph al-Mu'tazz. For two years after the rise of the
Samani power Ilyas b. Ahmad the Samani was governor. In
A. H. 294 (= A. D. 906 —the Caliph recovered his authority
7)
and appointed the author's twelfth ancestor in the line of
ascent,' Fakhru'd-Dawla Abu "Âli, to this government, which

he held for 27 years. When A. H. 321 (=A. D.933) the
in
House of Buwayh or Daylam obtained possession of most

of Persia, the author's ancestors governed in their name for
100 years. When in A. H. 421 (= A. D. 1030) Sultan Mahmud

of Ghazna took possession of*Îraq, the author's ninth ancestor
Fakhru'd-Dawla Abu Mansur died, and the government of
ê city who were charged with
passed out of the family,
the duties of state-accountants, and were thenceforth known
by this title, Mustawfi, which the author still bore. One of

Sultan Mahmud's courtiers named Karasti was made governor.
(841) How he caused the people of Qazwin to eat "doubt-

ful" meat, so that their prayers might no longer be effica-
cious, then oppressed them, and was finally killed by them,

after he had been governor for rather more than a year.
He was succeeded by Hamza b. Alyasa^ previously governor
of Qum, who ruled for more than two years. After him the
Amir Abu "Âli Muhammad Ja'^fari and his sons governed
for about sixty years. The last of them, Fakhru'l-Ma'âli
Dhu's-Sa'âdat Abu *Âli Sharafshah b. Muhammad b. Ahmad

b. Muhammad Ja'farf, died in A. H. 484 (= A. D. 1091).
His yearly income from his extensive estates amounted to
366,000 dinars in gold. He left one daughter, who lost all

this immense wealth, and was reduced to penury, so that
she was obliged to live on the charity of others. Reflections

on the vicissitudes of fortune. —

i) The MS. adds al-Bd<]ir^ which seems to be an error. For the genealogy
of Hasan b. Zayd, see Tabarf's Annals, iii, p. 1523, and Ibnu'l-Athfr, stib anno 250.
of Persia, Mangu Qa'an appointed Malik Iftikharu'd-Di'n

Muhammad al-Bukhari governor (842) in A. H. 65 1 (= A. D.
1253
— 4), and he and his brother Malik Imamu'd-Din Yahya
ruled for 27 years. In A. H. 6^] (= A. D. 1278
— 9) the govern-
ment was given jointly to Husamu'd-Din Amir "Ûmar of
Shiraz and Khwaja Fakhru'd-Din Ahmad Mustawfi. Thence-
forth, until the end of 'Uljaytu's reign, the government was
chiefly in the hands of the Iftikharis. Sultan Abu Sa'îd

Bahadur Khan at the beginning of his reign conferred it on
the agents of his mother Gunjishkan Khatun to provide
money for her army.
Section 7. — Tribes and leading families of Qazwin.

l) This name is neither clearly nor correctly given in the original, but the
correct reading is certain. See Berezine's ydmfuU-Tawarikh^ vol. i, p. 138,
and the Ta'rikh-i-Jahdn-gushdy^ vol. i, p. 46, n. 3 in this Series.
CONCLUSION, COLOPHON. 237
CONCLUSION.
Concerning the genealogical trees inserted by Rashidu'd-
Din in his great history [the Jdmi'ti t-Tawdrikh\. These, in
spiteof their excellence and the originality of the plan on
which they are constructed, appeared to the Author suscep-
tible of improvement, and are briefly criticized by him. (850)
He thesefore devised a new and simplified system of such
"trees", which he designed to use various colours as
in
indications, which he briefly explains (850

—
851), and so
ends his book. [The actual trees are wanting in this MS.,
as in most others which I have examined.]

INDICES OF THE TA'RIKH-I-GUZIDA
(FAC-SIMILE OF TEXT, VOL. XIV, i)
/
COMPRISING :
(i) Index names of persons together with an

of
alphabetical list of nisbas;

(2) Index of names of places and tribes;
(3) Index of books cited ;
BY
R. A. NICHOLSON, Litt. D.
(N. B.The abridged translation contained in this volume,

XIV, 2, does 7iot contain all the names mentioned in the
text, but since the pages of the original text are indicated
by thick figures in the body of the translation, these Indices
will serve for the latter, so far as it goes, as well as for
the former. As a rule names are given in the Index as
they occur in the text, without correction, save when the
correction is obvious. Such corrections are, as a rule, indicated.
Where several references occur under one heading, the more
important are generally overlined).
