The History of Humāyūn (A. S. Beveridge) 74

Language
English

74

Daughter of Kamran Mirza; wife of Ibrahim Husain Mirza Bayqra; mother of Muzaffar Husain who married Sultan Khanam, Akbar's eldest daughter, and of Nuru-n-nisa who became a wife of Salim (the Emperor Jahangir).
She was taken captive as a child by Shaibānī Uzbek, and she lived in his household until he gave her in marriage to his nephew, 'Ubaidu-l-lah. Shortly before Shaibānī murdered her father (914H., 1508-9), 'Ubaidu-l-lah asked for Haidar (œtat. 11) to come to him and Habība in Bukhārā, and thus saved him from a general massacre of Mughal sultāns.
When 'Ubaidu-l-lah retreated to Turkistān (c? 1511), Habība remained in Bukhārā. She then joined her uncle Sayyid Muhammad Dughlāt, in Samarqand, and with him went to Andijān where he married her to her cousin Sa'īd. She reared one of Sa'īd's children, Rashīd whose mother was a 'tribeswoman,' Makhdūm Qalūchī, but he certainly did her training no credit. She was widowed in 939H. (July 9th, 1533), so that Gul-badan may be wrong in saying that she was at the Mystic Feast in 1531. She may have been a wedding guest in 1537.
