His daughter also died childless. He had adopted two young men, Muhammad Sa’īd and Mīr Khān. They lived in great pomp, and did not care for the emperor. Though often warned, they would noisily pass the palace in pleasure boats to the annoyance of the Emperor, their boats being lighted up with torches and coloured lamps. One night they did so again, and Mahābat Khān, whom Jahāngīr had given a hint, sent one of his men and killed Mīr Khān. Sh. F. demanded of the emperor Mahābat’s blood; but Mahābat got together several ‘respectable’ witnesses who maintained before the emperor that Mīr Khān had been killed by Muhammad Sa’īd, and Shaikh F. had to remain quiet. Muhammad Sa’īd was alive in the 20th year of Shāhjahān, and was a Commander of Seven Hundred, 300 horse (Pādishāhn. II, 743). Sayyid Ja’far, Sh. F.’s brother, was also in Akbar’s service. He was killed in the battle of Patan (p. 397, l. 5). The Pādishāhnāmah (I, b., 316, 313; II, 739) also mentions Sayyid Badr, son of Shaikh Farīd’s sister, a Commander of 700, 500 horse; and Sayyid Bhakar, son of Sh. F.’s brother, a Commander of Five Hundred, 300 horse. - [Previous: 330.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.330.6) - [Next: 331](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.331) - [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.330.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.330.7) · Pramāṇa
