It happened that the said Qazi was still living when Husain Khan of Kashmir on the decision of the Muftis ordered the assassin to be put to death. Mirza Muqim, on his own responsibility, handed over the Muftis on the charge of “Why did they issue a mandate for the execution of that person, though he might be deserving of punishment?” to a certain person, who was a violent and furious bigot, and he put to death three or four of them. Now when Mirza Muqim and Mir Ya'qub, the wakil of Husain Khan, brought the daughter of Husain Khan to Court as a sort of present, this story was represented to the Emperor, and these two persons upon the decision of Shaikh 'Abdunnabi and other Ulamas, who were his family, were brought to the just punishment of their wicked deeds in the plain of Fathpur. And a portion of this story has been inserted in the history of Kashmir of which the author of these pages has written an epitome. In this year on the dismissal of Husain Khan the Emperor gave the parganna of Lak’hnou as jagir to Mahdi Qasim Khan, who had come back from a pilgrimage to Mekkah, and had come to the fortress of Rintambhor, and had an interview with him there. Husain Khan was exceedingly indignant with Mahdi Qasim Khan on account of this, and reciting the verse “This separation between me and thee", began to look forward to the Day of the Resurrection.
