But no sooner had Babur reached Murv than he heard of Sooltan Hoossein Mirza's death. It is stated in the Wakaya Babury (Commentaries of Babur), that out of respect alone for the family of the Mirza, Babur proceeded to Khorassan, and endeavoured to induce the princes and nobles to act against the Oozbuks. Babur was not wholly without motives for this conduct, for he was naturally desirous of bringing the Oozbuks to action, and consequently pushed on till he reached Moorghab, where the Khorassanies were encamped. On the 8th of Jumad-ool-Akhir, Moozuffur Hoossein Mirza and Abool Hussun Mirza were directed by Buddee-ool-Zuman Mirza to meet and congratulate him on his arrival, and to escort him to the camp of Buddee-ool-Zuman Mirza; but the princes and officers of Khorassan, little inclined to face the Oozbuks in battle, proposed that, as the weather was extremely hot, they should retire to their cool summer retreats. Babur proceeded in the first place to Hirat, where having remained some time with Buddee-ool-Zuman Mirza, he returned in the autumn to Kabul. The snow falling heavily at this season, he with difficulty reached the country of the Huzaras, with whom he was compelled to fight, and force his passage to his capital. - [Previous: 56.4.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.56.4.7) - [Next: 56.4.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.56.4.9) - [Up: 56.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.56.4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.56.4.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.56.4.8) · Pramāṇa
