SHIHAB-UD-DAULAH, MAUDUD, SON OF MAS’UD. Tabakat-i-Nasiri 48 - **Language:** English ### [48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.48) Shihab-ud-Daulah, Abu Sa’d-i-Maudud son of Nasir-ud-din Ullah, Mas’ud, when the tidings of his father’s murder reached him ascended the throne of his father’s dominions. At the period that Sultan Mas’ud was about to proceed into Hindustan, he had established Maudud as his lieutenant over the territory of Ghaznin, and its dependencies. Maudud assumed the throne in 432, H., and assembled an army, in order to revenge his father, and commenced his march towards Hindustan. Sultan Muhammad, son of Mahmud, who was Maudud’s uncle, had been brought forth from his place of confinement, by the rebellious retinue \[of Mas’ud\], and had been raised to the throne by them, who, with their loins girded, stood before him \[to do his behests\]. The great nobles of Hindustan submitted to him; and the Turkish slaves of Mahmud and of Mas’ud, who had acted so perfidiously and with such hostility towards the latter, all had gone over to Muhammad, and espoused his cause. After he had been made sovereign by them four months, an encounter took place between Maudud and his uncle; and, by the will of the Most High, the victory was bestowed upon Maudud, within the limits of Nagrahar \[Nangrahar\], and Muhammad was taken prisoner, together with his children and dependents. Sultan Maudud wreaked vengeance upon him for his father’s fall; and the murderers of his father, both Turk and Tazik, he put to death, and thereby gained fame and great distinction. Whoever were implicated in the shedding of his father’s blood, the whole of them he put to death. He returned again to Ghaznin, and took possession of the different parts of his father’s dominions. He reigned for a period of nine years, and died; and his age was thirty-nine years. His sons were Mansur, Muhammad, and Mahmud; and the latter had a son named Suliman. - [Previous: 47.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.47.4) - [Next: 49](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.49) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.48) · Pramāṇa
