The Chachnamah, an Ancient History of Sind 22 - **Language:** English ### [22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.chachnama~en-kalichbeg.22) It is related on the authority of Abdurrahman son of Abdirah, that when Bazil was killed, the people of Nerun became restless with the fear that the Arab army, bound as it was to take revenge, would, when passing by Nerun, swoop down on them and destroy them. At that time a Samani was the governor of Nerun. (The Samani was frightened) for he sent men in his confidence to Hajjaj to seek his pardon for what had happened, and he fixed a tribute on himself, and undertook to send it regularly. Hajjaj, the governor of the Khalifah sent a letter of pardon, and cheered him with solemn promises. (But) “You must,” said he, “release all the prisoners, or else I will not leave an infidel up to the limits of China, and will make the prey to the sword of Islam.” When Hajjaj determined to appoint another ag Hind, Amir son of Abdullah applied for the pos Hajjaj said to him: ‘You covet the place, but the logers have found out after consulting their book I too have learnt in my own way, by throwing dice, that the country of Hind will be conquered by Amir Imaduddin Muhammad Kasim son of Ukail Sakifi.” - [Previous: 21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.chachnama~en-kalichbeg.21) - [Next: 23.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.chachnama~en-kalichbeg.23.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.chachnama~en-kalichbeg.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.chachnama~en-kalichbeg.22) · Pramāṇa
