تحفة النظار في غرايب الامصار وعجايب الاسفار 10.10.10

10.10.10

Let us return to what we were about. I say: we travelled from the city of Abūhar through a desert a day's journey across, on whose edges are impregnable mountains inhabited by the infidels of Hind, who sometimes rob on the road. Most of the people of the land of Hind are infidels. Some of them are subjects under the protection of the Muslims; they live in villages and have over them a Muslim governor appointed by the ʿāmil or the official in whose iqṭāʿ the village lies.
