God willing an account of his life will be given in the First Part; repetition would not be pleasing. To be brief, at this time my wife, who was Rashid Sultán's paternal aunt, was banished \[ikhráj\] in a kindly way, with Iskandar Sultán to accompany her. Another act of kindness was that she was not robbed, or deprived of anything ; all that she had at hand was sent with her. She reached Badakhshán, however, in a pitiable and destitute condition. About ten persons were allowed, by Rashid's favour, to accompany her, and these took with them all their cattle. That winter I passed in Badakhshán in perfect comfort, and the spring I spent in the plains and hills of that country ; in the summer I went to Kábul. Soon after my arrival, there came together, in Kábul, some of my connections who had been banished \[by Rashid Sultán\] : namely, the Khán's wife, Zainab Sultán Khánim, who was his cousin, with her children Ibráhim Sultán (the Khán's favourite child), Muhassan Sultán and Mahmud Yusuf. - [Previous: 239.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.239.7) - [Next: 239.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.239.9) - [Up: 239](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.239) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.239.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.239.8) · Pramāṇa
