62 1 ) when the news of the massacre of· the murderers of Harun at the hands of Isma'il and the allegiance of the Kingdom of Khwarazm to him is reported to Mas'Iid on the 5th of Sha'ban, 427 A.
All the arrangements were broken, Ha. run was brought to the town; horsemen were sent after the murderers, and after three days' illness, Hartm breathed his last on Thursday ~ When the news spread in the town a great disturbance arose, Shakar Khadim rode his horse, put forward HarOn's brother Isma'il called Khandan with all the pages and left the town.
The Seljuqs were very anxious on the death of Harfm: they could neither go to Bukhara, as 'Ali Tigin was dead and his sons were in power there, nor to Khwarazm for the fear of Shah Malik.
When Shah Malik came to know of this, he sent an envoy to Isma 'il with the message:- " Ha. run strengthened the Seljuqs who were my enemies and whom I defeated, routed, ruined 'and rendered homeless, and he aimed at the Sultan of this kingdom making them the vanguard.
Isma'il and Shakar realised that the Minister Ahmad was responsible for it; they sent back the envoy of Shah Malik with harsh words and said, "We are ready.
Isma'Il and Shakar thought that· they would be caught by the hostile party and handed over to Shah Malik as had been prearranged· by Mas'Ild and his Minister Ahmad , and they fled on Monday, the 22nd Rajah, with other Altuntashis from Khwarazm in order to go to their friends the Seljuqs.
