170.5.4

With respect to the equity and justice of this monarch in the world, the mention of them could not be contained in the capacity of writing; and the observance of the law of the Chosen One, and the preservation of the system of holy warfare likewise, according to the tenets of the Muhammadan faith, was accomplished in that sovereign. According to the traditions which they have related concerning the Prophet—on whom be peace!—they say, that he, having been asked respecting the general resurrection, affirmed that it would take place six hundred and odd years after him; and the martyrdom of this sovereign occurred in the year 602 H., and, in this same year, likewise, indications of the last judgment appeared, and they were the irruption of Chingiz Khan, the Mughal, and the outbreak of the Turk. Therefore it is evident that that monarch was the strong barrier of Islam in the world, and, when he attained martyrdom, the gate of the final judgment opened.
