44.1.6

It is related that when the fort of Ráor was taken, all the treasures and arms that were in it were secured, except what had been taken away by Jaisiah with himself. All this booty was brought to Muhammad Kásim. The slaves were counted, and their number came to 60,000. Out of these, 30 were young ladies of royal blood, including Rái Dáhar’s niece whose name was Hasanah. Muhammad Kásim sent all these to Hajjáj, together with Dáhar’s head, and one fifth of the treasure obtained as booty, for the royal coffers, in charge of Kaab son of Mubárik Rásti. When the head of Dáhar and the women and the treasure were brought to Hajjáj, he placed his forehead on the ground and offered prayers of thanksgiving, by two genuflections to God, and praised him, saying: “Now have I got all the treasures, whether open or buried, as well as other wealth and the kingdom of the world.”
