No, I shall not kill him but I shall keep him imprisoned and report the matter to Hajjaj and see what he says.' Accordingly, that Brahmin with 200 of his near relations and dependents was kept in custody, and the fact was mentioned in the letters written to Hajjaj. Hajjaj asked the learned men of Kufah and Basrah to give their opinion on the point, and wrote about it to Abdulmalik, the Khalifah of the time. He soon received replies from the Khalifah and from the learned men, who said that such a question had already been raised by the companions of the Prophet, and had been decided by the text of the Koran in which the great God says:—'Some men justly performed what they had promised unto God.' When the solution of the problem was received, the Brahmin with all his followers and dependents was set at liberty. - [Previous: 46.3.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.chachnama~en-kalichbeg.46.3.3) - [Next: 47.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.chachnama~en-kalichbeg.47.1) - [Up: 46.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.chachnama~en-kalichbeg.46.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.chachnama~en-kalichbeg.46.3.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.chachnama~en-kalichbeg.46.3.4) · Pramāṇa
