My other companions said, “If Akbar possesses hidden knowledge, that man will certainly come to grief.” Soon after a piece of a broken stone fell down, and crushed his toe.’ P. 481. “In Multán, I saw Sháh Salámullah, who has renounced the world, and is a muwahhid (Unitarian). He is very rigid in discipline, and avoids the society of men. He said, he had often been in company with Jaláluddín, Akbar, and had heard him frequently say, ‘‘Had I formerly possessed the knowledge, which I now have, I would never have chosen a wife for myself; for upon old women I look as mothers, on women of my age as sisters, and on girls as daughters.” A friend of mine said, he had heard Nawáb Abul Hasan, called Lashkar Khán of Mashhad, report the same as having been said by Akbar. - [Previous: 135.7.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.135.7.2) - [Next: 135.7.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.135.7.4) - [Up: 135.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.135.7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.135.7.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.135.7.3) · Pramāṇa
