From the side of the infidels Juqta KasMd entered the plain. From 
the side of the Musalmans the Prince Isan Bughra Khan entered the plain, 
and showed forth his bravery. He declared his name and lineage, and 
entered the battle-field. He fought in such a manner that his praise can¬ 
not be fittingly spoken.*.

In fine they thus relate : that these four Imams were at Mada'in. 
They had gone out on a three-months’ hunting excursion. The Prince 
Yusuf QacUr Khan standing respectfully in the Presence, made petition 
“ Oh, Seed of the Prophet of God ! we come from Kashqar. The land of 
Kashqar has become entirely infidel. If victory be not obtained in the time 
of such descendants of the Prophet as you, after this there will be no 
victory. If your permission be given, should there be a certain force of 
Islam with us, pleas£ God the Exalted, if God shows favour, having gained 
the victory we will come to the door way of your Holinesses.” 
The Holy Imam Ndsru- d-din said: “ Oh Chiefs ! Quickly collect an 
army, and go (forth) with His Highness the Prince Yusuf ; if ye should 
be defeated, send a despatch to us.” Thus he commanded.

an army be collected. No quarter is to be given to infidels.” 
In three days the army was collected. Taking the whole force, he 
went and encamped at the town of Yangi-Hissar. With its advanced 
posts at Attuning (and) its rear (extending) to TJrtang Clara , the infidel 
(army) was lying encamped. They fought for some days. At that 
time several hundred infidels, making a sortie from the mountains, began 
to slaughter the Musulmans. Then Hus-ain f Bughra Khan foaming at 
the mouth, (and) bellowing like a mad camel, made fierce war. He moved 
on, causing the blood to flow (like the River) Jalhun. By the Heavenly 
decree, being struck with arrows in several places, he fell a Martyr.
