In the vicinity of that place there was a stream, which they \[the inhabitants\] call the Nahr-i-Sher \[the Lion’s Canal\]. It is cut from the river Furat \[Euphrates\], and the land through which it flows is somewhat elevated, while the place in which was the Musalman encampment was low ground. During that night, the accursed rajiz Wazir despatched a body \[of men\], and turned the water of that canal upon the encampment of the Musalmans; and the whole was flooded with water, and their arms and armour were all spoiled, and they became quite powerless. The next morning, at dawn, the army of the infidels returned and another battle ensued; but the Musalmans, from the extreme misery and affliction of the preceding night, were defeated; and the Maliks of Islam, broken and discomfited, retired across the Dijlah, and took up their position and encamped at Baghdad, at the place where the great Sanjari masjid and kasr \[castle\] are situated. - [Previous: 291.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.291.2.7) - [Next: 291.3.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.291.3.2) - [Up: 291.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.291.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.291.3.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.291.3.1) · Pramāṇa
