MANSUR, SON OF NUH, SON OF MANSUR. Tabakat-i-Nasiri 30 - **Language:** English ### [30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.30) The late Amir Nuh had nominated his son, Amir Mansur, as his heir and successor; and, when the former died, his son ascended his father’s throne. He entrusted the command of his forces to Fayik-i-Khasah; and Abu Mansur-i-’Aziz, who, through fear of Amir Mahmud, son of Sabuk-Tigin, had fled, and retired to Isfanjab, was brought back again. At the time of returning he had implored help from I-lak Khan, soliciting that he would take vengeance upon the enemies and opponents of Amir Mansur. When Abu Mansur, son of 'Aziz, reached the gate of Samrkand he seized him; and at this period Fayik-i-Khasah was at Samrkand. I-lak Khan summoned Fayik to his presence, and despatched him to Bukhara with an army; and, on Amir Mansur becoming aware of it, he left Bukhara, and retired to Amul. When Fayik reached Bukhara, and approached the gate of the palace of the Samani princes, he showed great emotion, and became greatly agitated, and went and joined Mansur \[Amir Mansur, son of Nuh\], and asked of him why he had left the government, and abandoned the capital. Mansur, on this, returned to Bukhara again, and left the office of commander of the troops \[there, as previously stated,\] to Fayik, and in Khurasan the command over the troops was given to Bak-Tuzun, as Amir Mahmud had proceeded to Ghaznin, in order to take possession of the territory of his father, Sabuk Tigin \[who was now dead\], and he left Bak-Tuzun the command over the forces in Khurasan. At this period Bak-Tuzun slew Abu-l-Kasim-i-Simjur, and took up his residence at Nishapur; and, on this, Amir Mahmud marched an army from Ghaznin towards Khurasan. Bak-Tuzun, being aware that he could not cope with Mahmud, evacuated Nishapur, and set off for the presence of Amir Mansur. The latter had left Bukhara, and had arrived at Marw, and Fayik was with him; but, when Bak-Tuzun joined him, Amir Mansur had reached Sarakhs. Fayik-i-Khasah and Bak-Tuzun now conspired together to dethrone Amir Mansur; and, on the night of the 12th of the month of Safar, 389 H., they removed him from the sovereignty, after which they left Sarakhs, and went back to Marw again. There they agreed together to place Abu-l-Fawaris-i-’Abd-ul-Malik, son of Nuh, on his brother’s throne. This they carried out, and they deprived Amir Abu-l-Hirs-i-Mansur, son of Nuh, of his sight, after he had reigned one year and eight months. - [Previous: 29.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.29.6) - [Next: 31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.31) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.30) · Pramāṇa
