The Riyazu-s-salatin (Abdus Salam) 56 - **Language:** English ### [56](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.56) When the throne became vacant by the murder of Ahmad Shah, Shadi Khan desired to put Nasir Khan out of the way and to become himself the Administrator-General of the kingdom. Nasir Khan, guessing his design, forestalled him, and slew Shadi Khan, and boldly placing himself on the throne, commenced to enforce orders. The nobles and the Maluk of Ahmad Shah not submitting to him, slew him. His reign lasted seven days, and according to another account, half a day. - [Previous: 55](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.55) - [Next: 57](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.57) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.56](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.56) · Pramāṇa
