The Rashīdī History 94.7

94.7

Mansur Khan stood in great fear of Sultan Said Khan, because he had been the cause of the death of Sultan Said Khan's own brother, Sultan Khalil, and many violent disputes arose between them. Mansur Khan was convinced that this would cause an eternal enmity between them, but contrary to his expectations, Sultan Said Khan sent an ambassador, with an escort, to his elder brother Mansur Khan, and begged for an interview. The meeting took place between Aksu and Kusan in the year 912, in which Sultan Said Khan declared his submission and obedience to Mansur Khan, and ordered the Khutba to be read in the latter's name ; thus a complete reconciliation was brought about between the two brothers, as a result of which their countries, during a period of twenty years, enjoyed the most perfect peace and security. Any one, for example, could travel alone from Kamul, in Khitai, to Andijan, without having any duties levied upon him; and would be taken every night, as a guest, into some house [on the road]. May God place these two just and righteous brothers in the Garden of Paradise!
