Extract

The text and translation is given below of two documents concerning the grant of an allowance in the form of a soyūrghāl. The first document, dated Ṣafar 1067 A.h. (Nov.-Dec., 1656 A.d.), concerns the redistribution of a grant dated Ramaẓān 1047 A.h. (Jan.-Feb., A.d. 1638) among the heirs of the original grantee, Mīr Ni'matullāh ‘Abd al-Wahhābī, a sayyid. The second document, dated Sha'ban 1115 (Jan.-Feb., A.d. 1704), deals with the settlement of disputes among the heirs of the original grantee concerning their respective shares. These documents illustrate the complicated problems which arose with the fragmentation of grants by inheritance.
