On the Muhtashim, Shihab, being removed from the government of the Kuhistan, and his proceeding to Alamut, when the Muhtashim, Shams, arrived, this recluse did not obtain the same respect from him; and, as he was not on terms of intimacy with the Muhtashim, Shams, the absence of Shihab greatly affected the heart of the recluse. He desired, in order to perform the debt of gratitude \[he owed\] to the Muhtashim, Shihab, to take vengeance upon this Muhtashim, Shams, who was the displacer of the former, and thereby attain, for himself, the felicity of martyrdom, and also perform an act of holy warfare \[upon an infidel\]. - [Previous: 288.1.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.288.1.1) - [Next: 288.1.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.288.1.3) - [Up: 288.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.288.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.288.1.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.288.1.2) · Pramāṇa
