935.14.2
(_July 10th_) On Sunday morning (_4th_) came `Abdu'l-lāh (_kitābdār_), who from Tīr-mūhānī[2683] had been sent to Saṃbhal on account of the death of `Alī-i-yūsuf. (_Here the record of 7 days is wanting._) (_www. Sedition in Lāhor._) People from Kābul were saying that Shaikh Sharaf of Qarā-bāgh, either incited by `Abdu'l-`azīz or out of liking for him, had written an attestation which attributed to me oppression I had not done, and outrage that had not happened; that he had extorted the signatures of the Prayer-leaders (_imāmlār_) of Lāhor to this accusation, and had sent copies of it to the various towns; that `Abdu'l-`azīz himself had failed to give ear to several royal orders, had spoken unseemly words, and done acts which ought to have been left undone. On account of these matters Qaṃbar-i-`alī _Arghūn_ was started off on Sunday the 11th of the month (_Ẕū'l-qa`da_), to arrest Shaikh Sharaf, the Lāhor _imāms_ with their associates, and `Abdu'l-`azīz, and to bring them all to Court. (_xxx. Varia._) (_July 22nd_) On Thursday the 15th of the month Chīn-tīmūr Sl. came in from Tijāra and waited on me. Today Champion [Sidenote: Fol. 381b.] Ṣādiq and the great champion-wrestler of Aūd wrestled. Ṣādiq gave a half-throw[2684]; he was much vexed.
