The Chachnāma (Fatḥnāma-yi Sind) 46.1.1

46.1.1

“what a villainous set of people these are. They are quite like the wild men, living in some villages of Fárs and Mount Payeh, and they should now be treated as such.” Muhammad Kásim, therefore, thought it proper to deal with them exactly in the same way, and following the rule made applicable by the commander of the faithful, Umar, son of Khattab, (may the great God be pleased with him) to the people of Syria, he ordered that if any stranger or a traveller should arrive within their limits, they were bound to entertain him with food as a guest for a day and night, and if he fell sick, for three days. When Muhammad Kasim had disposed of the work of settling the affairs of Brahmanábád and the Luhánahs, and of fixing a punitive tribute on the Jats, he wrote to Hajjáj son of Yusif of his proceedings. He said that he was writing from his camp higher up the river of Halwai near Brahmanábád, and gave him detailed information as to the subjugation of Sind. In due course of time Hajjáj sent the following reply: “O my cousin Muhammad Kasim, praise and credit is due to you for all that you have done or tried to do in maintaining your position as commander of the army, in showing favour and courtesy to the people in general, in improving their condition and in satisfactorily settling the State affairs.
