The Institutes of Akbar 243: 22. Bahá’dur Khá’n i Shaibá’ní, (younger) brother of Khán Zamán. (No. 13.)

243

His real name is Muhammad Sa’íd. Humáyún on his return from Persia put him in charge of the District of Dáwar. He then planned a rebellion and made preparations to take Qandahár, which was commanded by Sháh Muhammad Khán of Qalát (No. 95.) The latter, however, fortified the town and applied to the king of Persia for help, as he could not expect Humáyún to send him assistance. A party of Qizilbáshes attacked Bahádur, who escaped.
In the 2nd year, when Akbar besieged Mánkot, Bahádur, at the request of Bairám Khán, was pardoned, and received Multán as jágír. In the 3rd year, he assisted in the conquest of Málwah. After Bairám’s fall, through the influence of Máhum Anagah (vide p. 323), he was made Vakíl, and was soon after appointed to Itáwah (Sirkár of Agrah). Subsequently he took an active part in the several rebellions of his elder brother (vide p. 320). After his capture, Sháhbáz Khán i Kambú (No. 80) killed him at Akbar’s order.
Like his brother he was a man of letters (Bad. III, 239).
