All the daughters were given in marriage to illustrious Sayyids, and dignified 'Ulama; and one of those princesses was married to the great-great-grandfather of \[the author\] Minhaj-i-Saraj, and this was the cause of the removal of the writer’s ancestors from Jurjan. Imam 'Abd-ul-Khalik, Jurjani, who lies asleep within the Sarae of Tahir-abad of Ghaznin, saw in a dream, whilst dwelling in Jurjan, in his youthful years, that an angel said unto him in the vision: "Arise, and proceed to Ghaznin, and seek a wife." When he awoke, he imagined that this dream might have been prompted by the devil; but, having dreamt the same dream three times successively, as therein commanded, he came to Ghaznin, and one of those daughters was bestowed in marriage upon him. That princess bore him a son, whom he named Ibrahim—Maulana, Minhaj-ud-Din, ’Usman-i-Ibrahim—upon whom be the mercy of the Almighty! He was the father of Maulana Minhaj-ud-Din, who was the father of Maulana Saraj-ud-Din, ’Ujubah-uz-zaman \[the Wonder of His Age!\], and he was the father of \[the author\] Minhaj-i-Saraj. Sultan Ibrahim was a monarch of felicitous and prosperous career, and his reign extended over a period of forty-two years, and his age \[at his death\] was sixty years. He died in the year 492 H. - [Previous: 53.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.53.2) - [Next: 53.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.53.4) - [Up: 53](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.53) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.53.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.53.3) · Pramāṇa
