Abu'l-Nasr Muhammad

Abu'l-Nasr Muhammad (died ca.

Abu'l-Nasr Muhammad is first mentioned during the late 990s, when his father made an alliance with the Ghaznavid family by double marriage; Abu'l-Nasr Muhammad married Sebüktigin's daughter, while Sebüktigin's son Mahmud married one of Abu'l Haret's daughters.

In 1000, Abu'l-Nasr's father died, and thus he succeeded him, and became a vassal of the Ghaznavids, which had become a powerful military power, and had already imposed their authority on other petty Iranian kingdoms.

Abu'l-Nasr enjoyed the confidence of Mahmud; in 1008 he fought in the center of the Ghaznavid line against the Karakhanids outside Balkh and in the following year escorted Mahmud during his campaign in India.

He also married off a daughter to Mahmud's son Mohammad Ghaznavi.
