Sultan Ala-ud-Din, Utsuz, was a just monarch, learned, and a patron of learned men; and the Kitab-i-Mas’udi, on ecclesiastical jurisprudence, he knew by heart. In the promotion of ’Ulama \[theologians\], and the bringing up of the families of men of learning, he used to do his utmost, and every one among the sons of ’Ulama, whom he continued to find diligent and persevering, he was accustomed to honour with his benevolent regard. When he ascended the throne he set at liberty Malik Ala-ud-Din, Muhammad, from the fortress of Ashiyar of Gharjistan; but, on account of his killing 'Umr-i-Shalmati, the Sultan again shut him up within the walls of the fortress of Balarwan. - [Previous: 160.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.160.3) - [Next: 160.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.160.5) - [Up: 160](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.160) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.160.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.160.4) · Pramāṇa
