Such persons as had distinguished themselves by their loyalty during the night he rewarded with a generosity beyond their expectations, and gratified the nobility and army by liberal largesses. Upon his retiring into his private apartments to take repose, a circumstance happened worth mentioning. Dilawur Khan being one of the disciples of Hunefy had established the Soony ceremonies during his regency; but many of the nobility, among whom were some strict Soonies, hastily concluding that the King, adopting the tenets of his father and his uncle, must be a Sheea, began to proclaim evening prayer according to the custom of the latter sect. The King, who had, by education, become a disciple of Hunefy, on hearing the call to prayer, was offended at the change, and gave orders for the criers to be confined; but upon being informed of the cause of the alteration, he smiled at the sudden conversion of the Soony nobility, and would frequently rally them upon it, calling them political Sheeas. He, however, left every one to follow his own opinion as to his form of worship; and both sects were allowed to practise their religious ceremonies as in the time of his ancestor Yoosoof Adil Shah. - [Previous: 93.4.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.93.4.6) - [Next: 93.5.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.93.5.1) - [Up: 93.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.93.4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.93.4.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.93.4.7) · Pramāṇa
