His wife was Náhíd Begum, daughter of Qásim Kokah. Qásim had sacrificed himself for Bábar. Bábar had fallen into the hands of ’Abdullah Khán Uzbak, when Qásim stepped forward and said that he was Bábar. He was cut to pieces, and Bábar escaped. In 975, Náhíd Begum went to T’hat’hah, to see her mother, Hájí Begum (daughter of Mírzá Muqím, son of Mírzá Zul-nún). After Qásim Kokah’s death, Hájí Begum married Mírzá Ḥasan, and after him, Mírzá ’Ísá Tarkhán, king of Sindh (p. 362). Before Náhíd Begum reached T’hat’hah, Mírzá ’Ísá died. His successor, Mírzá Báqí ill-treated Hájí Begum and her daughter. Hájí Begum therefore collected a few desperate men and watched for an opportunity to get hold of M. Báqí’s person. The plot was, however, discovered, and Hájí Begum was put into prison. Náhíd Begum escaped and went to Bhakkar, where she was well received by Sultán Maḥmúd, ruler of the District. He persuaded her to ask Akbar to send her husband Muhibb ’Alí to Bhakkar ; and he would give him an army, if he liked to attack T’hat’hah. Nahid Begum did so on coming to court, and Akbar, in the 16th year (978), called for Muhibb, who had then retired from court-life, and ordered him to proceed to Bhakkar. - [Previous: 337.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.337.1) - [Next: 337.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.337.3) - [Up: 337](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.337) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.337.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.337.2) · Pramāṇa
