Muntakhab al-tawarikh 65.3.4

65.3.4

The Shah was extremely pleased, and after innumerable banquets and associations in travelling, and hunting expeditions, arranged all preparations on a scale of regal magnificence in Humayun’s honour, and took much trouble in giving his assent to the religious tenets of the Shi'ahs, and to that which the later writers of that persuasion say regarding the blessed companions of Muhammad, may God be pleased with them, and Humayun after much ado said “Bring them written upon a sheet of paper.” Accordingly they wrote down all their religious beliefs, and Humayun read them with a view to copying them, and gave precedence in the Khutbah, after the custom of ‘Iraq, to the recital of the twelve Imams. Shah Murad, the son of the Shah, an infant at the breast, with ten thousand cavalry under the command of Bidagh Khan Qizilbash Afshar, was nominated to reinforce Humayun, and it was determined that the Qizilbash should march by one route and Humayun by another, and that Humayun should, after gaining the victory, hand over Qandahar to Shah Murad Taking leave, and marching rapidly through Ardabil and Tabriz, (Humayun) again went to Mashhad the holy city, and succeeded in visiting the shrine of the fountain head of light.
