[edit] al-Athir's account

Suleyman was made governor of the north-western provinces. The explanation proffered for this choice can be inferred from Ibn al-Athir’s account of the battle between Alp Arslan and Kutalmish: upon the death of Kutalmish, Alp Arslan wept the death and greatly mourned the loss of his kinsman.
