The Nāṣirī Generations 100.5

100.5

There is a fortress on the confines of Neh, in the territory of Nimroz, which they call the castle of Shahanshah! ; and the nephew of Bahram Shah, the son of Nasir-ud-Din, ’Usman, had sold the fortress of Shahanshah! to the heretics of Kuhistan, and it was in their possession. Yamin-ud-Din, Bahram Shah, at this time, despatched an agent to demand the restoration of that fortress, and further, to intimate that, in case any difficulty should arise, a force would be speedily brought against it. On this account, disciples were nominated by the heretics of Kuhistan to remove him ; and, in the year 618 H., on a Friday, when proceeding on his way to the mosque to perform his devotions, in the middle of the bazar, four fida-is, or disciples, surrounded him and martyred him.
