It did not lie in the merit of past services, nor in his intelligence and sagacity as an Amir; nor yet in eloquence in council, nor in affable manners or good breeding, nor in vivacious humour at feasts, nor in courage in battle, nor in grace or charm of bearing. \[Verses\] . . . All that he said and did, was tainted with falsehood and evil. In short, all the unworthy deeds of Rashid Sultan are to be traced to him. We have nothing further to blame Rashid Sultan for, than that he allowed himself, on every occasion, to be guided by Muhammadi. There has lately come a report that Muhammadi has bidden this life farewell. If it is true, it is not unlikely that Rashid Sultan will grasp the reins of rectitude, and renouncing his evil ways, will repent him fully. Amen.
