Finally they said: "\[You have no need of money\]," and they threatened to plunder us. How could five poor artless men withstand five stalwart ruffians \[jhalcha\]? Besides, they gave us no time, but began to bind us all, as a first step towards putting us to death. When they laid hold of Maulana Muhammad, he called out in an authoritative and severe tone of voice: "You dare not do us any injury. Do you know who this is?" (pointing to me). "This is the brother of Mirza Khan, who, flying from Bokhara, is on his way to visit his brother. A great number of his servants are following after him, as fast as they can, while others have stayed behind with Nik Pai Shah. If we do not reach Kala-i-Zafar in safety, you can imagine what will be done to you." When Maulana Muhammad had said this, the ruffians \[jhalcha\] became mild \[salim\], and replied in their own dialect: "Take back your possessions, oh! Khwaja." So saying they restored what we had given them, and turned to depart. In spite of our insistance, they would not help us any further, but returned. We, however, had no intention of returning; but putting our whole trust in God's protection, continued our road until dawn. During the day we crept into hiding, and on the following night again set out. At daybreak we reached Rustak, where we were safe from the hostility of the accursed Mulahida. - [Previous: 126.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.126.9) - [Next: 126.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.126.11) - [Up: 126](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.126) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.126.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.126.10) · Pramāṇa
