The Ka’an inquired who he was; and, when he was informed, he caused a yarligh to be issued confirming him in his father’s fief of Ghur, and added thereto that of Hirat, Gharjistan, Sawah, Farah, and Sijistan, subject, of course, to the Mughal authorities in I-ran-Zamin. In that same year, previous to proceeding to the urdu of the Ka’an, Malik Shams-ud-Din, Muhammad, is said to have slain Malik Nusrat-ud-Din, ’Ali, the Saffari, son of Bahram Shah, ruler of Nimroz, whose maternal grandfather was ’Izz-ud-Din, ’Umr, the Maraghani, and Shams-ud-Din, Muhammad’s great uncle on both the father’s and mother’s side, but our author was unacquainted, seemingly, with the facts respecting Malik Nusrat-ud-Din, ’Ali’s death. See pages 193 and 197. When Shams-ud-Din, Muhammad, appeared before Mangu Ka’an, he inquired of him: “Wherefore didst thou slay Malik ’Ali?” He replied: “I slew him for this reason that the Ka’an might make the inquiry of ‘Wherefore didst thou kill him?’ and not inquire of him why he had killed me.” Shams-ud-Din, Muhammad, likewise obtained possession of the fortress of Bakar—— which, from the time of Nushirwan, no one second time, in order that the route for karwans might be had been able to possess himself of by force. It is the name of a fortress of Sijistan. - [Previous: 287.3.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.287.3.4) - [Next: 287.3.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.287.3.6) - [Up: 287.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.287.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.287.3.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.287.3.5) · Pramāṇa
