Timur Lang, Sistan, Farzandan Rostam and Ferdowsi
Ferdowsi interest in meeting Zabulistan In Timur's first stop at Bad Musk, he met his father and his six sons. Their bodies and eating were so strange to Timur that he went to them and asked.: came Rostam Is it from your land? The old man said yes. And then he clapped his hands on the back of his sons and said: All these Rostam are.
from (Timur) I am considered a tall man, but when I stood next to that man and his sons, I found myself short. They were so tall and strong that when they wanted to load their camels, they did not lie down and loaded the camels standing up..
Although the old man and his sons were not more than seven in number, they did not have the slightest fear of my troops in the camp, and it was as if they saw me and my soldiers as ants.! I said, man, are you all in? Sistan Are they tall like you and your son? said the man: Everyone is like this in Zabulestan, it is the country of Iranian men.
Then Timurba three thousand riders on the way to Iran ( Zabulistan ) and an envoy to the Amir of Zabulestan (Amir Garshasb ) He sent to say that I did not come to fight.
Contrary to Timur's expectation, instead of seeing the horsemen, Amir Garshasab was surprised to see his ox-riding army approaching him..
When they arrived, an old man with a white beard and a tall stature put his hand over his eyes so that he could see the surroundings and called out in a loud voice, "I am Gershasb, a descendant of Guderz Salar of Zabulistan."… Who is Timur?
The stature of Garshasb and his men was so tall that Timur's troops thought that they were the result of demons and not human beings.!
Timur writes : Ferdowsi in his poems from one Rostam It was mentioned and I was thousands in Zabulestan Rostam I saw!
Finally, following the pursuit of Amir Maura Nahar, he realized Sistan became the ruler in the war that took place in that region Sistan He galloped on them and Taimur's right heel and right shoulder were injured. And the last two fingers of his hand were also separated from the blow of the sword. Because his leg defect did not get better with any medicine or ointment and he was constantly limping, he was nicknamed "Timor Lame"..
An important point about supermen Sistan And Timur Lang should be reminded and we have not seen anyone say that Timur after this date the damage he saw in Sistan, with the continuous wars he had and occupied almost a quarter of the inhabited area, from the border of China to Moscow and the empire The Ottomans and the whole of Iran were great and conquerors and invincible everywhere, but they are not even remembered anymore Sistan did not!
But Ibn Arabshah, a historian who was Timur's contemporary and fled from him to Damascus, wrote in his book (The Book of Wonders of Nawab Timur) Written by Timur, he was wounded in the war and became lame.
According to this report he in the year 764 At the request of the Amir of Sistan, he went to his aid and was wounded in the war with his opponents. After the healing of this wound, his leg was permanently lame.

The source of Tebmur's lameness in Sistan
In the book Manim, Timur Jahangashah, Timur himself wrote that his foot was lame in the Tashkent war, and his hand was later crippled in another war.
According to many sources, Timur has been crippled in Sistan, and for that reason, the city of Sistan(clever) which today is known as Zahedan Khaneh and built a tower and minaret in its place which is still known as Timuri Tower.. And later, to replace Zarang or Zaranj, Shahr Nou was called Shahr Nou(Silver)built which today is located in the territory of Afghanistan and on the border of Iran . Unfortunately, Shahranu and Bast Castle, which were part of ancient Sistan, remained in Afghanistan. But Sistan Sarfaraz still shines on the heights of Iran's civilized history with its courage and strength..
