Firishta's History (Gulshan-i Ibrāhīmī) 62.4.10

62.4.10

The mildness and benevolence of Hoomayoon's character were excessive, if there can be excess in such noble qualities. He was a prince of great intrepidity, and possessed the virtues of charity and munificence in a very high degree. He was skilled in the science of geography, and delighted in the society of learned men. He was regular in his devotions and ablutions, and never pronounced the name of God without having performed the latter ceremony. It is said on one occasion, having cause to send for one Meer Abd-ool-Hye, whose name signifies "Slave of the Eternal," he called him only Abdool, "Slave of," leaving out the last word because he had not bathed that morning, and begged his pardon accordingly.
