This Sultan Mahmud Salai Samarkandi told Nahid Begam that if Muhibb 'Ali Khan would undertake the conquest of Thatta, he would join and assist him, and that he would have no need of any further support. In consequence of this promise, Nahid Begam was very desirous of going to Sind. Muhibb 'Ali Khan had for a long time given up the military life, so the Emperor granted him a banner and a kettle-drum, and he gave him a jagir of fifty lacs of tankas in the sarkar of Multan, towards the expense of the campaign. He also sent with him his daughter's son Mujahid, a young man of resolution and courage, and he wrote a farman to Sa'id Khan, the ruler of Multan, directing him to support Muhibb 'Ali Khan. - [Previous: 42.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.42.1) - [Next: 42.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.42.3) - [Up: 42](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.42) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.42.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.42.2) · Pramāṇa
