At the durbar on July 22, 1880, Abdur Rahman was officially recognized as Amir, granted assistance in arms and money, and promised, in case of unprovoked foreign aggression, such further aid as might be necessary to repel it, provided that he align his foreign policy with the British.
22. juulil 1880 tunnistati ‘Abdur Raḩmān durbar'il ametlikult emiiriks, talle anti relvi ja raha ning lubati provotseerimata välismaise agressiooni korral veel nii palju abi, nagu selle tõrjumiseks tarvis läheb, tingimusel, et ta järgib oma välispoliitikas Briti poliitikat.
