تحفة النظار في غرايب الامصار وعجايب الاسفار 13.45.8

13.45.8

Its congregational mosque is one of the most splendid mosques, its walls and roof of stone. The amīr there is Muẓaffar Ibn al-Dāya, whose mother was the Sultan's wet-nurse. Before him it was held by Malik Mujīr ibn Abī al-Rajāʾ, one of the great maliks, mentioned earlier, who claims descent from Quraysh. He was overbearing and very oppressive; he killed a number of the people of this city and mutilated many of them. I saw one of its people, a man of fine appearance, sitting in the portico of his house with both hands and feet cut off.
