³ Ahmed bin Yahyá, surnamed Abu Jaáfar and called Biláduri or Bilázuri from his addiction to the electuary of the Malacca bean (bilázur بلاذر) or anacardium, lived about the middle of the ninth century of the Christian era at the court of Al-Mutawakkil the Abbási, as an instructor to one of the royal princes. He died A.H. 279 (A.D. 892-93). His work is styled the Futúh-ul-Buldán The Conquest of Countries. He did not visit Sindh, but was in personal communication with men who had travelled far and wide.
