When Sabuk-Tigin and his adherents reached the village of ’Alfeul he was taken ill, and died after four days. The Turks were defeated; and they took along with them from Baghdad, the Lord of the Faithful, Ut-Ta-i’u-L’illah, and marched towards Nahrwan, in order again to encounter Fana Khusrau. They were defeated a second time, however, and retired towards Musil. Fana Khusrau entered Baghdad, and found with respect to the affairs of his cousin, Bakhtyar, that he was in the habit of passing his time in gaiety and pleasure, and that he was no longer fit for and capable of directing the affairs of government. He therefore seized Bakhtyar, and put him in durance. The latter sent a letter of complaint to his uncle, Abu-l-Hasan, son of Buwiah, the father of Fana Khusrau, ruler of Rai, saying: “Your son, Fana Khusrau, has seized me without cause or reason, and has imprisoned me.” The father of Fana Khusrau issued a mandate to his son, directing him to set Bakhtyar at liberty. This he did, and he \[Fana Khusrau\] returned to Fars; but, when his father died, Fana Khusrau proceeded to Baghdad, again seized Bakhtyar, and put him to death, after which he took possession of the territory of Baghdad, and the control of the affairs of the Khilafat. - [Previous: 39.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.39.1) - [Next: 39.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.39.3) - [Up: 39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.39) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.39.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.39.2) · Pramāṇa
