F. presented Jahangir an immense ruby made into a ring, which weighed 1 misqal, 15 surkhs, and was valued at 25000 Rs. As the relations of the Shaikh oppressed the people in Gujrat, he was recalled from Ahmadabad (Tuzuk, p. 73). In the 5th year, he was made governor of the Panjab. In 1021, he made preparations to invade Kangrah. He died at Pathan in 1025, and was buried at Dihli (Tuz. p. 159). At the time of his death, he was a Commander of Six Thousand, 5000 horse. Sayyid Ahmad, in his work on the antiquities of Dihli, entitled Asdrussanadid, No. 77, says that the name of S. F.’s father was Sayyid Ahmad i Bukhari. Of Farid’s tomb, he says, nothing is left but an arcade (dálán). But he wrongly places the death of the Shaikh in the 9th year or 1023 A. H., instead of the eleventh year, or 1025. Sayyid Ahmad also mentions a Sarái built by Shaikh Farid in Dihli, which has since been repaired by the English Government, and is now used as a jail (jel khánah). According to the Tuzuk, p. 65, Salimgadh (Dihli) belonged to S. Farid. It had been built by Salim Khan the Afghán during his reign in the midst (dar miyán) of the Jamnah. Akbar had given it to Farid. When Shaikh Farid died, only 1000 Ashrafis were found in his house, which very likely gave rise to the Táríkh of his death— dád, khurd burd (1025, A. H.). ‘He gave, and left (carried off) little.’ - [Previous: 330.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.330.3) - [Next: 330.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.330.5) - [Up: 330](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.330) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.330.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.330.4) · Pramāṇa
