Beveridge) 902.9 - **Language:** English ### [902.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.902.9) Ill-feeling and squabbles had arisen between Sl. Mas\`ūd Mīrzā and Khusrau Shāh because of the injustices of the one and the self-magnifyings of the other. Now therefore Khusrau Shāh joined his brothers, Walī and Bāqī to Badī\`u'z-zamān Mīrzā and sent the three against Ḥiṣār. They could not even \[Sidenote: Fol. 42b.\] get near the fort, in the outskirts swords were crossed once or twice; one day at the Bird-house\[333\] on the north of Ḥiṣār, Muḥibb-\`alī, the armourer (\_qūrchī\_), outstripped his people and struck in well; he fell from his horse but at the moment of his capture, his men attacked and freed him. A few days later a somewhat compulsory peace was made and Khusrau Shāh's army retired. Shortly after this, Badī\`u'z-zamān Mīrzā drew off by the mountain-road to Ẕū'n-nūn \_Arghūn\_ and his son, Shujā\` \_Arghūn\_ in Qandahār and Zamīn-dāwar. Stingy and miserly as Ẕū'n-nūn was, he served the Mīrzā well, in one single present offering 40,000 sheep. Amongst curious happenings of the time one was this: Wednesday was the day Sl. Ḥusain Mīrzā beat Badī\`u'z-zamān Mīrzā; Wednesday was the day Muz̤affar Ḥusain Mīrzā beat Muḥammad Mū\`min Mīrzā; Wednesday, more curious still, was the name of the man who unhorsed and took prisoner, Muḥammad Mū\`min Mīrzā.\[334\] - [Previous: 902.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.902.8) - [Next: 903.1.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.903.1.1) - [Up: 902](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.902) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.902.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.902.9) · Pramāṇa
