ABSTRACT
Tughril Beg gave this world to me so that 1 might rule it. And you have given me to that other world, for from you 1 have gained the rank of martyrdom. From you two 1 have gained this world and the next, and beyond this good fortune there can be no other.' And say to the Vizier, 'By killing the Vizier you have brought an evil innovation and an ugly practice into the world, giving no thought for the consequences. 1 fear that you may see this practice again for yourself and your offspring and descendents.''' How well said are these two statements!
