He was Amir of Hamadan and Rai, and was a person of great manliness and generosity; and he entertained a large number of troops in his pay, and possessed great military resources. The whole of the men of Dilam, both high and low, were obedient to his authority. He had several talented and warlike sons grown up, the name of one of whom was Fakhr-ud-Daulah, 'Ali, son of Al-Hasan, and of the second, Muayyid-ud-Daulah, Buwiah. Fakhr-ud-Daulah, 'Ali, was Amir of 'Irak, to whom Shams-ul-Ma'ali, Kabus-i-Washm-gir, went for protection, and sought his assistance, and Fakhr-ud-Daulah accordingly marched to Nishapur for that purpose, and Muayyid-ud-Daulah had several engagements with them, the events of which Sabi has mentioned in his History.
