The Chachnāma (Fatḥnāma-yi Sind) 31.1.5

31.1.5

So Kákah, with some chief men and his personal staff, set out for the Arab camp, and after he travelled a short way he was met by Banánah Khantalah whom Muhammad Kásim had sent with the advanced detachment of his army, and who took Kakah to Muhammad Kasim. Muhammad Kasim gave him a robe of honour, and showed much kindness to him when honouring him with an audience. Kakah then related to him how the nocturnal attack had been designed, and how he had excused himself from joining it. He also informed him how the great God had led his party astray so that they had been roaming about that whole night in darkness and humiliation. “Our astrologers and interpreters of dreams,” said he, “have found out by means of the astronomical science, and have openly given out that this whole country will fall into the hands of the army of Islám. When this miracle was witnessed by us, we became sure that it was (really) the will of God and that no other person will ever be able to oppose you, or to stand against you. You should be in every way easy at heart and cheerful as you are sure to be victorious. I have already submitted to you, and will be a counsellor of yours, and, to the best of my ability, your friend and guide, in overpowering and humiliating your enemies and ill-wishers.”
