The Nāṣirī Generations 44.4

44.4

Amir Sabuk-Tigin was a man of great valour and intrepidity, just and pious, faithful, true to his word, not avaricious of other men’s goods, kind and compassionate to his people, and a discerner between right and wrong; and, in fact, every sign and indication of all such virtues and accomplishments as are desirable in kings and nobles, the Almighty had amply endowed him with. He ruled for a period of twenty years; and was fifty-six years old when he died. His decease took place on the frontier of Balkh, at the village of Madru-mue in the year 387 H. His sons were Ismail, Nasr, Mahmud, Husain, Hasan, and Yusuf.
