Overview
Ahmad Khan, ruler of Samarqand. The sources say that heresy appeared in him, so the princes arrested him and brought in the jurists, who ruled that he should be killed. He was killed in 388 AH, and they made his cousin ruler. 2
The charge of heresy is here attributed to the source. The dates of his life need an additional source.
