c11.25

While speaking of *taslim*, I may mention that in April 1670 Aurangzib forbade his Muslim courtiers to make *taslim* to each other. When they met together they were simply to cry out *salam alekum* (Peace be on you!) and not to raise their hands to their heads. (*Masir-i-Alamgiri*, 98, 272.)
