The Institutes of Akbar 2.7.8

2.7.8

(1) The Akbarnámah with the Ain i Akbari, its third volume. The Ain i Akbarí was completed in the 42nd year of Akbar’s reign; only a slight addition to it was made in the 43rd year on account of the conquest of Barar (1596-97, A. D.). The contents of the Akbarnámah have been detailed in the Preface. The second volume contains an account of the first forty-six years of Akbar’s reign. There exists a continuation up to the end of Akbar’s reign by ’Ináyatullah Muhibb ’Alí. Thus at least the continuator is called in two MSS. that I have seen. Elphinstone says that the name of the continuator is Muhammad Salia, which seems to be a corruption of Muhammad Salih.
