The Chachnāma (Fatḥnāma-yi Sind) 46.1.6

46.1.6

“My distinct orders are that all those who are fighting men (ahl harb) should be assassinated, and their sons and daughters imprisoned and retained as hostages. Spare those whose submission will be useful in the end, and those in whose lands streams of fresh and limpid water flow. Let tributes and taxes be fixed on them. As for the merchants and artizans, let them have light burdens. Those who know the work of building houses and cultivating land, let them carry on their callings freely and diligently. Show kindness and leniency to them, in revenue matters. Take only one-tenth on the property and land-produce of those who receive the honour of Islám; while those who remain in their own religion should be required to pay to the officers the usual tax from the income of their handicraft or cultivation.” Muhammad Kásim then marched from the said place and came to Bahrówar. There, he called Sulaiman son of Bahtan, and Abú Fiddah Kishérí, an emancipated slave of Kand, and, after adjuring them in the name of God and of Kand’s children, asked them to carefully carry on the local administration; which he left in their charge. At the same time he called upon the people to show due regard to Juned son of Amrú and Baní Tamím. Next he sent Muhammad to the people of Bharj, to live among them, and Amrú son of Mukhtár Hanafí was appointed governor of the place, with a band of brilliant soldiers for its protection.
