Muhammad ibn al-Qasim Met Zubair colleagues

Muhammad ibn al-Qasim was standing on the wall watching the sunrise.

He saw a troop of thirty or forty horsemen coming towards the fort from the east. Muhammad bin Qasim and his companions, mistaking it for the army of Sindh, sat down with arrows on their bows.

These riders stopped at a distance of about three hundred paces from the fort and one rider separated from his companions and galloped his horse towards the wall. The archers were waiting for Muhammad ibn al-Qasim's signal. Muhammad forbade them with a hand signal. The rider reached under the wall and stopped the horse and said in Arabic, We are companions of Zubair. Let us in.

Muhammad leaned forward and asked, "Is your name Khalid?"

"Yes" he replied.

Call your colleagues."

Khalid turned back and beckoned his companions with his hand and Muhammad ordered to open the gate of the fort. He came out of the fort and questioned Khalid.

Where is your sister?

Khalid replied, "He is with me, but Zubair did not come?"

He is with the rest of the army.

How did you know we were in this fort?

We also had the news that you have crossed the border of Makran.

We arrived here disguised as Sindhi soldiers and you will be surprised that the chief of the King (Raja)'s army had assigned us to guard a hill four miles from here. We were anxiously waiting for you.

Today the soldiers who escaped from the fort reached there, and they told that this fort has been conquered. We congratulate you.

Where is the general?" Muhammad looked at one of his companions with a smile, and he replied. "You are talking to the army chief?"

After a while, the rest of Khalid's companions came near him and got down from their horses. After Muhammad bin Qasim took a quick look at all of them, he said,

"But where is your sister?"

Khalid smiled and pointed to a man wearing a mask.

Muhammad ibn al-Qasim said,

"Thank God. Your health is fine now."

Yes,Zubair is with the rest of the army? Hearing Zubair's name,

Naheed felt sudden heat on his ears and cheeks, and he turned back and looked at Maya. Maya was also wearing men's clothes like him. She pinched Naheed's arm and said softly. Congratulations Naheed.

Muhammad ibn al-Qasim then looked once more at all of Khalid's companions, and extended his hand to a white-haired, burly man for a handshake.

Maybe you are dumb. I am grateful to you and your colleagues."

Gungo took Muhammad ibn al-Qasim's hand in his hands, looked at Khalid, and said to Khalid. Gungo and his companions have converted to Islam and Gungo has chosen the name Saad for himself?

Muhammad shook hands with everyone one after the other saying Allah and while shaking hands with Nasiruddin (Jairam) he said. You are probably Nasiruddin. You suffered a lot for us. May God reward you

Where is your sister?"

Khalid said, "She has also become a Muslim. Her name is Zahra. Zahra came close to Nasiruddin and asked. Who are they? And Nasiruddin signaled her to be quiet, and this question reached Khalid's ears.

Khalid said loudly.He our commander. (Saad) and his companions were surprised and looked towards Muhammad ibn al-Qasim, from a distance they heard the trotting of horses and a guard from the wall called out, "The enemy's army is coming."
