Amir Sayyid Ali being quite recovered, Mirza Ulugh Beg ordered a horse and arms to be given him, that he might accompany him to Khorasan. His object was to show off Amir Sayyid Ali to the people of Khorasdn, as if he would say : " This is the sort of booty we take in Moghulistdn." One night when the Mirza was in his tent, the torch-bearers were passing by, and he saw Amir Sayyid Ali with his bow, which was fourteen spans long — longer than that of anybody else. The Mirza thought to himself : " If this man wishes to aim his arrow at me, who will be able to prevent him ? " He became very nervous, and immediately sent for Amir Sayyid Ali and said to him : " This journey into Khordsdn must be very irksome and unpleasant to you. You can return to Samarkand : when I get back I will give you leave to go to Moghulistan ; and you shall be the intermediary between myself and Shir Muhammad Khan, so that matters may be settled in a peaceable way." So he gave him leave to return, and sent a man to accompany him. He also wrote to the Governor of Samarkand, telling him to treat him with every mark of respect. But he sent a secret message to the governor telling him to keep Amir Sayyid Ali in prison. - [Previous: 54.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.54.3) - [Next: 54.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.54.5) - [Up: 54](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.54) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.54.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.54.4) · Pramāṇa
