156 Translation of the Toofut ul Kiram, [No. 159. 



simple words, longing as we do for revenge, without enquiry into the 

 truth or falsehood, has been destroyed : our wish was retribution for our 

 father's death. Mahamed Cassim moreover was deficient in wisdom; he 

 should according to the order have started on his journey, but have 

 delivered himself from the hide after one day, and have arrived alive : 

 we have undoubtedly told the truth in our evidence, and we resign 

 our lives." The Khalif was ashamed, and ordered them to be tied to 

 the foot of an elephant and dragged through the bazar and burnt. 



The Khalif s of Bini Oomai and their Deputies. 



After the conquest of Sindh by Bin Cassim, according to what has 

 Deputies of the Kha- been related, Harraf Bin Keiss Bin Hawaii Assadi 

 lifs of Bini Oomai. remained in charge of Alor, and the individuals before 

 mentioned were governors as appointed. After them the people of Hind 

 became rebellious, and from the confines of Dibalpur to the sea, remain- 

 ed in the hands of the Moslem deputies. After a time Abu Hifaz, Bin 

 Kutibah, Bin Mussilim arrived from Hijjaj, and punished those who 

 had not embraced the true faith : the (Hindoo) deputies being help- 

 less, fled to Khorassan. About that time Jamin Bin Zeid also arrived 

 from Hijjaj, and on the part of the Khalif Suliman Amin Bin Abdul- 

 lah, openly obtained the government of Sindh ; and in the year 100 H. 

 Oomur Bin Abdul Aziz, Bin Umeer, Bin Muslim came to conquer 

 Hind. He took some of those countries, and made some of the tribes of 

 Sindh Mahomedans ; but in the time of the Khalif Has ham, they se- 

 ceded. Suliman Bin Hashan, as is related in the first vol., fled from 

 the army of Mirwan and came to Sindh, where, intent on rebellion, he 

 remained until Saffah obtained the Khalifat ; he then embraced the 

 service of Saffah : also Abul Khitab arrived on the part of Mirwan. 



The period of the government of the deputies of the Khalifs of Bini 



Oomai extended from the year 93 until 133 H. All 



The authority of the this period from the commencement of the 93 H. 

 Khalifs of Bini Oomai 

 over Sindh extends to until the period mentioned, is 40 years. Since the 



period of 40 years/ a government of the deputies of the Khalifat of the 

 house of Bini Oomai was as described, now it is neces- 

 sary to relate the government of the deputies of Bini Abbas. Still there 

 are a few circumstances connected with this period which must be 

 related, and which I shall compress as briefly as may be.
