The Nāṣirī Generations 294.3

294.3

Every day, as on the previous occasions, several men in white garments, with turbans, were wont to come down, and used to despatch more than two or three hundred infidels to hell. For a period of three days conflicts were fought, and, subsequently, for three days more, Hulau continued there, and directed such severe attacks to be made that 10,000 more infidels went to hell. Hulau then intimated [to the defenders], saying : “This fortress belongs to Tingri, and therefore I have absolved you, but I have one request to make, and it is this. Show me those white clad horsemen, that I may look upon them, and see what sort of men they are.”
