Other Historians call him Çádiq Muhammad Khán. His father, Muhammad Báqir, had been vazír to Qará Khán Turkmán, ruler of Khurásán. Qará had rebelled against Sháh Tahmásp, and fled to India. Çádiq entered Bairám’s service as Rikábdár (spur-holder), and got soon after a mançab, and was made, after Bairám’s death, an Amír. Badáoní (II, 220) alludes to his services under Humáyún in Qandahár, and the Tabaqát says that he had been since his youth in Akbar’s service.
