The Nāṣirī Generations 142: VII. AMIR MUHAMMAD, SON OF ’ABBAS.

142

When Sultan Ibrahim, son of Mas’ud, seized Amir ’Abbas, and sent him away to Ghaznin, at the solicitations of the chief personages and eminent men of Ghur, he made over the country to Amir Muhammad-i-’Abbas.
He was endowed with great good nature, was of exceeding amiability of heart, and of excellent disposition, most just, conscientious, and merciful, a patron of the learned, an impartial judge, and a cherisher of the weak and helpless. In the place of every one of the odious and hateful proclivities towards inhumanity and tyranny which were in his father, the disposition of the son was implanted with a thousand amiable and admirable qualities.
When the territory of Ghur was assigned to Amir Muhammad, the whole of the grandees, the chiefs, and most distinguished personages of the country, submitted to his authority; and, to the best of his ability and power, he began to labour and study to revive and restore the observances of goodness and utility, and the laws and usages of benevolence, beneficence, and justice. He used to render homage to the Sultans of Ghaznin with heartiness and loyalty, and pay them submission and vassalage, and used to despatch the fixed tribute regularly.
During his reign the gates of repose and tranquillity were opened to the people of Ghur. and they all passed their days in the enjoyment of peace and security; happiness and plenty reigned; and his country, his people, and his retainers dwelt for a long while in the enjoyment of competency and affluence, up to the period when he passed away and was received into the mercy of God.
