At this time the chief of Kanauj was the son of Jahtal Rai. When the army reached as far as Udhafar, Abu Hakim Shaihani ordered Zaid, son of 'Amru Kallahi, to be brought before him. He said, "Zaid, you must go on a mission to Rai Har Chandar, son of Jahtal, and deliver the mandate for his submission to Islam, and say that from the ocean to the boundary of Kashmir all kings and chiefs have acknowledged the power and authority of the Muhammadans, and have made their submission to Amir 'Imadu-d Din, general of the Arab army, and persecutor of the infidels. That some have embraced Islam, and others have agreed to send tribute to the treasury of the Khalifa."
