One of these letters has passed down from father to son into my possession, for it had always been carefully preserved in our family. In short, the Amir and his wife started for Medina, unencumbered, making an Arab go in front to guide them. My father sent me with him too, so I was of the Amir's party. After a long journey we arrived at Medina. The Amir made the tawáf of the garden of the Prophet (upon whom be the most excellent of prayers), and we passed the night in the house of a darvish. As night came on a great change manifested itself in the Amir. He called my father (i.e., Shah Husain Barlas) and said to him: 'Read me the chapter called Ya-sin;' when my father came to the verse 'Mislahum fiha,' the Amir expired. We were all astounded at this occurrence. With the break of day, many of the nobles and people of Medina came to the house, asking: 'Did not some one die here last night?' and when we told them, they began to condole with us, and said: 'We have this night seen the Prophet in our sleep, and he said to us: a guest has come to me to-night; he had made a very long journey to visit me, and he has died here during the night; bury him at the foot of the tomb of the Commander of the Faithful, Osman.'" Then the Prophet drew a line with the end of his stick. - [Previous: 57.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.57.4) - [Next: 57.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.57.6) - [Up: 57](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.57) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.57.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.57.5) · Pramāṇa
