In one night and day I reached Jalalabad, a distance of seventy-five kos, and delivered my message to the Prince. He was determined upon proceeding to Kabul, and thought it advisable to send me back speedily to the Emperor. He also sent along with me Haji Habibu-lla, who had come from Kabul to Jalalabad, and I was to report that Mirza Muhammad Hakim was sincerely repentant of the past, that he had taken oaths, and that he was willing to send his sister, but that Khwaja Husain, her husband, had carried her off to Badakhshan. When I and Haji Habibu-lla joined His Majesty, he on the following day marched to Pershor (Peshawar). There he left Prince Salim in camp with Raja Bhagwan Das, Sa'id Khan \[etc.\], and went on with speed, travelling about twenty kos a day. When Prince Murad came to within seven kos of Kabul, Mirza Muhammad Hakim issued forth to the village of Khurd-kabul, and attacked him; but he was defeated and put to flight. The victorious Prince then entered Kabul. - [Previous: 76.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.76.4) - [Next: 76.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.76.6) - [Up: 76](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.76) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.76.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.76.5) · Pramāṇa
