The Chachnamah, an Ancient History of Sind 24 - **Language:** English ### [24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.chachnama~en-kalichbeg.24) At an auspicious hour, Muhammad Kásim halted at Shiraz, and encamped there, till all the detachments from Irak and Syria joined him. Here all the war-apparatus such as battering-rams and catapults, and coats of mail necessary for fighting against a fort, were put in boats, which he gave in charge to Abu Mughairah and Hazim. He asked them to be very careful about the boats, as in case of any harm being done to the boats, they would be personally held responsible for it and would be punished. Hajjáj wrote a letter to Muhammad Kásim in reply and said: “I have sent Hazim and Abu Mughairah, and have ordered them to join you in the vicinity of Debal. At that place you must make a halt till the arrival of the boats. Proceed under the protection and security of God. May Allah watch over you and help you!” - [Previous: 23.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.chachnama~en-kalichbeg.23.6) - [Next: 25](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.chachnama~en-kalichbeg.25) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.chachnama~en-kalichbeg.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.chachnama~en-kalichbeg.24) · Pramāṇa
